Some of the evacuees are blaming the provincial and county governments for not providing enough fire fighting resources. No surprise there. There is never enough in a crisis.

Its gotta be the UCPs and Danny Smith's fault don't you think?

That wont be good for Danny's election hopes. But since Calgary is not on fire maybe it wont matter.

So what is wrong with all those county reeves and councilors who don't agree with the anti government types who don't support mandatory evacuations and emergency maesures?

Where is the anti government revolution so many of you talk about and want in rural Alberta?

Perhaps he has taken his obsession of the premier to a whole new level of stalking. Did anyone recognize Chuck's face amongst the protesters who crashed Danielle Smith's speech yesterday?
Because I would really be jealous if he came all the way to Alberta to stalk the premier, and didn't even stop by to stalk me in person. We were rained out after all, I had the time.

But you still haven't answered the question. Probably because you know that the libertarian view of evacuations doesn't cut it. Even in rural Alberta.

So if the mandatory evacuations aren't needed, why are the councilors and reeves from the very communities supporting them?

To cover their asses so they don’t get sued by someone who’s an idiot and claims they weren’t told how serious the issue is.

For the 85-90% of emergency workers who use a little common sense… thanks for your : patience, help, dedication, and sacrifice.

We are blessed to have spirited passionate people who do care and are humble enough to know when those who are themselves sacrificing to provide backup and very needed resources …. In extremely difficult situations.

God Bless Alberta…. Many did get enough rain to green the grass and trees… we are thankful for these blessings!

Cheers

Blaithin, that's a pretty cynical view of your fellow citizens and county councilors!

The only reason they support mandatory evacuations is they don't want to be sued? Huh? You would say that in a public meeting?

You don't think that they might also think public safety might be a good reason?

A county councillor is a politician. They’ll say whatever they think people want them to say, and do whatever they have to do to cover their asses.

Cynical, sure. Realistic, also sure.

Just like many of the rural Alberta citizens they represent! Self interest first. Public safety second.

In Saskatchewan public safety takes priority. Its the legacy of our grandparents generation.

Do you feel most people are not predominantly out for themselves/their small inner circle?

Or you just feel urban residents are giving and caring while us rural counterparts are purely self motivated?

When does an individual become “private” instead of “public”. Their homes? Yards? Who is a private citizen with private safety.

CC:
Your argumentative attitude certainly has an unfortunate impact… trust is earned… words are cheap.Arrogant Power plays are difficult to miss.

People with genuine sacrificial actions speak magnitudes more. Pain and suffering are potent motivation for the passionate who care.

Blessings and Prayers.

Ask your county councilors. Let us know what they say.

This really isn't such a difficult decision is it? Out of control fire is threatening. We/you cant stop it from coming into your yard or town. And Jeez maybe we should evacuate those in danger if there is no hope of containing the fire?

Are you going to call up your local reeve and councilor and discuss it for a couple of hours while the flames get closer?

Good Luck!
