Emergency evaluations…

Chuck, you ought to read the comments on CBC article calling out Trudeau government for not appointed new judges as judges leave the bench for whatever reason. Even CBC can’t find anyone who likes or defends your boy wonder. Seems everyone has had about 7 years too much of the human wrecking ball.

Wasn’t the Fort Mcmurray fire also because of a controlled burn?

I don’t recall that it was a controlled burn, I thought it was just an idiot that didn’t put their fire out properly during a fire ban. But I’m not sure if I ever seen anything confirming that either so it could have been an escaped control.

So in today's society, the government is openly encouraging dangerous drug use, then spending enormous police, and medical resources dealing with the predictable consequences. Creating huge waiting lines for emergency rooms, police who are too busy to respond to genuine criminal activities, while these drug addicts become career criminals, overwhelming the court system, and creating a homeless pandemic, straining all the resources that go along with that.
But when productive law abiding citizens are heroically willing to risk their own lives and livelihoods to protect public and private property, livestock, infrastructure etc, they are demonized and threatened. Under the excuse that by doing the right thing, they are risking straining the resources of the emergency response services who may need to intervene if things go wrong.

Does anyone see any hypocrisy in this?

Whoa. This needs distinguishing.

BC is opening encouraging dangerous drug use.

AB is actually trying to pass involuntary commitment for addicts.

This is why people can’t compared all governments as the same. Each one has its different approaches and those approaches can and do change.

They are changing out of necessity because they have been an unmitigated disaster.

But first, governments had to repeat the experiment all over the developed world.

Alberta never encouraged dangerous drug use. Unless you’re calling pot dangerous?

BC is not changing. Them and Trudeau have criticized ABs approach as barbaric and inhumane. They are fully invested in the give them drug access, give them safe consumption sites, path.

Within AB you will find some cities that created safe injection sites, like Red Deer, but the legalization of small amounts of hard drugs was never implemented or even brought forward as a provincial bill.

There are two places in the world with involuntary commitment. Alberta working towards it, and Paraguay I believe, that implemented it years ago.

if you drive around in the hood of Regina, drugees huddled behind garbage bins and in school grounds, parks, everywhere shooting up. The emergency wards of Regina hospitals filled with the results and then there’s the ones beat to a pulp, get patched up and back the next weekend.

And all of those people are tying up emergency rooms and hospital beds and ambulances. Meanwhile, we shut down the entire economy to keep from overwhelming the medical system for a cold. And now we won't allow people to save their own property in case they become a victims and need the medical system or emergency services to help them.

Shes Fort Mac all over again. Govt caught flat footed, authority's have no communication, RCMP belligerent and blocking all local help. Feds a lost cause. Contractors with a bunch of equipment evacuated out of the areas and blocked.

Locals saying they could have snuffed it out in half a day.

Sounds like a shit show.

[WiltonRanch]

Sounds like a clown show in Grande Prairie. Guys got turned away sending cats in to make firebreaks to save properties. Properties burned because of it. Chuck you should go up there and see the situation. You have no goddamn idea what you are talking about. My uncle has equipment at Rainbow making firebreaks and on standby.

[furrowtickler]

Yup, seen several times last week , on video to boot .
They shot at a band member
But ohhhhhhhhh , let’s not put blame on how most of these fires got going , can’t do that
Should be 5 year prison sentence minimum
Plus pay damages
Local Arsonists, end of story for most of these fires .
I wonder why the media says zip about this …. Hmmmm

[TSIPP]

Not prison, just a deep dark hole.

[jazz]

Sounds like the fire response from our elected officials is just let er burn.

Much the same attitude towards this country in general. Incompetence at all levels.
