Emergency evaluations…

[chuckChuck]

Try to stay focused A5! LOL

So which politicians and local authorities are saying that we don't need the power to evacuate residents under the Emergency Management Act?

And that emergencies should be best handled by local residents and that the province should have no role in emergencies?

[cropgrower]

purely obsessed with Danelle Smyth , likely dreaming about her every night !

[chuckChuck]

That's all you got crop? LOL

Danny Smith is as close as you will get to a libertarian premier and far as we know she hasn't repealed the powers in the emergency management act.

So the opinions on Agrisilly don't seem to have much traction.

[cropgrower]

i will let you rant away about how government shud run our lives in every way

So Danny Smith is saying no to mandatory evacuations and that provincial emergency laws are out the window?

That everyone has the right to stay and protect their property even if they are going to die?

And the ones that stay and get caught in a fire and are injured or needing to be rescued? They wont be calling emergency services? You are certain of that? They will have signed a document to that effect?

I think everyone sympathizes with the terrible situation that residents who have been evacuated are faced with.

But suggesting that everyone should have the right to face floods, fires and other natural disasters and that the authorities don't have the right to evacuate them is a big step backwards in emergency planning.

Is any provincial politician saying this is a good idea?

Right to evacuate them…

Why is that a right?

I mean, rights are pretty feeble claims anyway and subject to personal discrepancies, but why would a government have a right to evacuate anyone for anything?

It can be said they have a responsibility to evacuate those who cannot evacuate themselves, such as hospitals. But the right to enforce their beliefs on people, in a crisis?

The information should be given, the evacuation alert given, but to enforce it, no. If you start forcing people from their legally owned property and say it’s your right to do so, you’re towing a very dangerous line.

[chuckChuck]

In Every way? LOL Who said that?

You really are out of your league here Crop.

You gotta come up with some better responses.

Funny how we can get an amber alert instantly and it takes a day to get a fire alert in a community.

The RCMP shouldnt be in charge of anything. These guys should stick to harassing protestors and the unvaxxed. The local fire dept with community volunteers should be leading this charge.

Just like in Fort Mac, the contractors pleaded with the authorities to take every cat in the area and knock down a ring of of forest around the town. Request denied, we know better, surprise town burned to the ground.

Somebody explain it to chuck like he is 4yrs old, people dont recover from these losses no matter what insurance you have. So they have an interest in protecting it, not standing by while some egghead does a Trudeau talk to them.

I have no clue, I don’t pay attention to politicians.

Power to evacuate is not the same as Right to evacuate everyone.

One offers resources to assist those who wish to evacuate to do so safely. The other is enforcing the decision on people who may not wish to do so for various reasons.

You can have the first without the second.

Adults are capable of making their own decisions.

You Start out your argument with the assumption that we are all adults. While you are responding to the poster who was banished to the children's daycare because he had proven over and over again that he was completely unable to act like an adult.
Most children require and expect some higher authority to make all important decisions on their behalf.
They do not want to take on the burden and consequences of being responsible for their own actions and decisions.

This concept of personal responsibility is so completely foreign to intellectual children such as chuck, that this discussion is futile.
