I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

Herzliya was named after the founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl. It was built over the lands of three Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed & destroyed by Israel in 1948: Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, Ijlil al-Qibliyya, & al-Haram (Sayyiduna 'Ali). 1/
I met an American girl in my hostel in Amsterdam and she bought a ticket for something we were doing and without thinking about it, I was like what’s your email and I fully tried sending her money and she was so confused. It obviously didn’t work so I just bought her a drink lol
@Aishafierce4@iloveglee1493 You’re sending me an article from 6 years ago. Sudan is suffering the worst it’s ever been at the moment. You don’t even have to look outside the US. What has she said about ICE? Look, I am a fan of hers but we have to hold these people accountable.
@iloveglee1493@Aishafierce4 Because I am a fan of Beyoncé and her work and have been for almost 20 years so it’s frustrating to see an artist that I look up to turn a blind eye to this. I know her power and influence. I know that she can be political if she wants to be. At this point it feels like a choice.
Do you remember the first time YOU watched Ratatouille? 🎬
Our mobile cinema is moving between camps to spread moments of joy. After crafting their popcorn cups, the kids enjoyed some salty popcorn and a childhood classic 🍿
