Hiring MacMillan Bloedel to fight forest fires

I made a post about fighting forest fires talking about the problem of preignitions and using helicopters instead of water bombers. Water bombers are more bang for the buck and preignitions are problematic for obvious reasons. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's pretend they aren't intentionally trying to burn the province to the ground and are simply stupid. So let's talk about a simple solution that wouldn't cost a penny.

The theory behind pre ignitions is to make it so that the forest fire runs out of fuel and goes out on it's own. It's a good idea. The obvious problem is if the fire is moving south it is because the wind it blowing south. If the wind is blowing south and you set a new fire south of the existing fire the southernly wind isn't going to cause the new fire to move north towards the existing fire.

If the wind is blowing south and you light a new fire south of the existing fire, the new fire is just going to make it worse which is exactly what we saw last summer in Kelowna. This is why everyone thinks they are trying to burn the province down on purpose. They are making a collective set of bad decisions. Not allowing volunteers to help is another.

I have a very simple and cost effective solution that I've mentioned before but I forgot to mention in my last post so I'm going to say it again loud and proud. Let's take the preignition theory and improve it. Let's hire MacMillan Bloedel or whatever they're called now.

If we have a forest fire let's call up a tree harvesting company like MacMillan Bloedel. We tell them alright guys, we have a forest fire every man on deck. We will give you a temporary permit to clear cut a narrow strip of trees in whatever direction the fire is heading. That way when the fire gets to the clear cut it will run out of fuel and we haven't started a new fire and made it worse.

This is a win win situation because it would work and it wouldn't cost us a penny. We just tell them, we're not going to pay you but you get to keep all the profits from the trees you harvest. That way they would make a profit from fighting forest fires safely and effectively.

We need to start doing this. It is a very simple and cost effective solution. It would be easy. Just send in a couple of those tree harvesting machines and it's done instantly. We also need to bring back tree planting. Narrow clear cuts instead of preignitions would create far less CO2 emissions.

Speaking of tree planting. Remember we used to have that forestry place in Green Timbers that would create seedlings for tree planting? They got rid of it and put in the RCMP HQ. We need to bring back forestry centres preparing seedlings to plant and replenish the forests after fires.

Squamish forest fire Climatizes us for negligence

Yahoo News is reporting that "Residents of Squamish, B.C., say they’re on edge as a wildfire burns on a forested ridge above the community. Those in the community have been watching helicopter water bombers make repeated trips over the fire as gusty winds carry the smell of smoke back into the district."

Repeat trips. Look at that tiny bucket. That's like trying to put out a house fire with a watering can for plants. We've seen a lot of criminally negligent forest fire fighting over the years. LA, Maui, Chile even here in Canada. Back burns in windy conditions that make the fire much worse. Oh this is all part of the science. No it's not. It's all part of an agenda to climatize us for insanity. 

In 2023 a 40 year first fire fighting veteran said BC Wildfire Service has lost its way. Indeed they have. We need more air support. Water bombers not those tiny little buckets. The experts say helicopters are more accurate. Those aren't experts. The more water the more effective it is. It's that simple. 

This isn't a climate change debate. This is a forest fire management debate. In order for us to adjust to climate change we need to be more effective at forest fire management. Fighting a forest fire with a shovel and a bucket is not effective. We need more air support. We need better air support.

Float planes are more effective than helicopters and are more cost effective as well. CTV is reporting that "Canada can fight fires faster and cheaper with the nimble Fire Boss aircraft."

This isn't new. This is what we used to do for decades in BC. Back in the day, when someone got their pilots licence, they needed hours of experience to get their commercial licence. Many would fight fires on small float planes in BC to get those hours. Float planes can also be used throughout the year for tourist charters. We need to embrace the Costco business model. Costco is always innovating. If they try something that doesn't work they go back to the most efficient way of doing it. 

Highly Suspicious Fire in Hawaii

Update: Rebel News is sending a team in to investigate the matter

Strange statements made about the Hawaii fire

OK let's back this up a bit. I just got back from a road trip yesterday and people were sending me all kinds of links to the fire in Hawaii. So let's calmly and rationally have a look. Obviously the fire was real. High winds during a fire is very dangerous. Reuters is reporting that "Nearly 85% of U.S. wildfires are caused by humans, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Natural causes include lightning and volcanic activity. In Hawaii, less than 1% of fires are due to natural causes, according to Elizabeth Pickett, co-executive director of the Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization. The Hawaiian Islands have six active volcanoes, including one on Maui."

Obviously the fire was real as were the high winds that fanned the flames so to speak. In BC we are very familiar with the annual risk of forest fires. We have a lot of forests here filled with evergreen trees like cedar, fir, pine and hemlock. Anyone who has been camping knows. if you put once of those green branches on a campfire, it will instantly ignite and burst into flames.

That's why every summer we are under high risk for forest fires. This year hasn't been abnormally bad for us. We've had much worse yet this year Alberta and Nova Scotia have had some large forest fires. Whether it's arson or human negligence it's hard to tell. During the ANTIFA riots in the US we all saw video footage of arsonists in California.

Deliberately starting a forest fire is criminally insane. Pretty much every summer now we have campfire bans yet we still manage to have forest fires. Most campfire are pretty contained. Sadly, throwing a cigarette buy out of the window of a moving car can easily ignite dry grass and start a fire. Something so simple and so easily avoidable.

In Hawaii they have palm trees which are awesome. However, they're not all bunched in together don't have highly flammable branches reaching out next to each other. We don't know the cause of the fire in Hawaii yet but from the pictures we see a whole neighborhood burned to the ground.

It kind of looks similar to the Lytton fire. To my understanding that was caused by brakes on a train that ran right through the town. I filmed Lytton on my road trip to the Bowron Lakes.

In BC we have a lot of wood framed houses close together. If a fire breaks out and is not quickly contained it can easily spread to other houses. That's kind of what it looks like happened in Hawaii. It's going to take some time to sift through the data and process it. I'm still basking in the splendor of my road trip and will make two new posts. One discussing wind therapy, the about balancing the extremes as my mandate evolves.

Sky News posted some pictures of the fire. When you take a look at the leaves on the palm trees in this picture, that would imply the gale winds were blowing towards the ocean now inland. That would explain why the whole island didn't burn to the ground. It would also help us pinpoint the start of the fire. This video on Newsweek shows the geographical location of the area that burned. The shape of the mountains around it matches the shape of the image of the fire burning.

This picture from Metro UK is suspicious. I'm not doubting the validity of the picture. I'm questioning why the fire had sporadic hot spots separated from each other. Forest fires can jump a river if the winds are strong enough but this fire jumped complete neighborhoods. That might imply more than one starting point which would also imply arson.

Forest fires and melting snow

Update: Hiring MacMillan Bloedel to fight forest fires

Today I checked it the snow pack on Cypress. We have a week of sunshine in the forecast and the snow pack is melting fast but that's pretty normal for this time of year. We had an El Niño last winter and will have a La Niña next winter. So the sky hasn't fallen and the El Niño / La Niña cycle has nothing to do with climate change. The sensationalized fake news was going on about how the low snow pack will cause more forest fires this summer. I don't notice an abnormally low snow pack right now. If it melts a week before it did last year that will be insignificant.

What is very significant is the negligent way we start and fight forest fires now in BC. Instead of using water bombers that fill in nearby lakes, we use helicopters with buckets because some pencil neck geek found a way for them to make more money while being far less efficient. That's kind of like the fireman who starts fires to give himself a job. Oh wait, they do that now too.

While we're here, lets calmly and rationally talk about the obvious dangers of preignitions. Let's discuss the theory behind them and why that is so obviously problematic. Say we have a forest fire burning. The wind is blowing south so the fire is moving south. In that situation we want to light a pre ignition south of the fire so when the fire gets there it will run out of fuel. That sounds good but it is inherently problematic for obvious reasons.

The fire is moving south because the wind is blowing south. If you light a fire south of the existing fire why on earth would you expect the fire you start to move north towards the fire when the wind is blowing south? It won't. The existing fire will run out of fuel but you just started a new fire so you accomplished nothing. You simple made it worse which is exactly what we saw in Kelowna last year. They lit fires trying to stop the fire but they simply made it worse much worse.

So we are now forced to question whether or not it was their intent to make the fire worse since we are on a new campaign of lighting forest fires and have stopped fighting them with water bombers. We expect a guy with a shovel will somehow do a better job than a water bomber. That's ridiculous. It's a scam. They are intentionally destroying our province. So now we have to ask why? Kelowna is a conservative riding. Did the NDP intentionally try to burn them out?

What about Lytton? Kelowna is on a lake. There is no reason that fire should have got that close to the town. They can fill water bombers up on the lake but they refuse to do so. That is a criminal act. Just like starting new fires is. The Maui fire was suspicious from the get go but as more abnormalities began to surface that was clearly a criminal act. They shut the water off so residents couldn't keep fighting the fire. They prevented people from evacuating and rerouted them back into the fire where they died waiting in line stuck in traffic.

And then there was Chile and the pattern has been revealed. What happened to tree planting?

Forest Fires, Arson and Preignition

Forest fire season has started early this year and that's already suspicious. Last year was Canada's worst forest fire season on record and many of those fires were set by arson.

Brian Paré is a Quebec man who plead guilty to setting 14 forest fires in 2023. That was just one guy. Last year CTV reported that "A 28-year-old woman has been arrested after a series of fires were intentionally set along the Galloping Goose Trail in Sooke, BC."

That's just two who were caught. Recently someone sent me a video of military personal using a new contraption on a jeep to set large forest firers. The video on Twitter had a warning which said that it was a planned preignition to fight a fire but when I embedded the tweet it disappeared.

We know that preignition is a new fire fighting strategy which has proven to be flawed. That's what made some of the fires in BC last year much worse. It's a bad idea. On that note, Glen Beck recently did a video showing a new home defense robot dog equipped with a flame thrower. He was laughing showing how cool it was and said it's also used in forest fire management. That's kind of a red flag. Fighting fires by setting fires is an oxymoron.

Obviously arsonists are mental cases. In urban settings a single arsonist can be responsible for setting many fires. People who set a forest on fire are even more mentally deranged. Yet we can't help but wonder if some of them are being paid to do it.

The article about the arsonist in Quebec states that he was a conspiracy theorist who claimed the government was responsible for starting fires. Yet he admitted to starting 14 himself. There's something in that narrative that doesn't make sense. If he objects to the government staring forest fires, why would he start them himself?

If he was a climate change denier, why would he set new fires to help the climate change narrative? It's like someone who thinks 911 was an inside job performing a terrorist act himself. Why would he do that? Truthers object to terrorist attacks they don't support them.

As for the disappearing video of military personnel starting forest fires, take a look at this. Last summer CBC reported that "Federal assistance including military resources are being mobilized to help British Columbia's fight against hundreds of wildfires, Canada'a Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair announced Friday."

Take a look at what he's holding in his hand. It's not a shovel. It's "a drip torch to set a planned ignition on a wildfire burning near a highway outside Vanderhoof in northern B.C. on July 11." So we did hire the military to set fires. Last year Dan Dicks showed video footage of helicopters using tiger torches to set fries in BC from the air. That is a bad idea. We're spending money on the wrong thing. Water bombers are far more effective than helicopters.

They're also a lot more effective than a guy with a shovel or a guy with a drip torch. This relates to the Maui fraud. They shut off the water so residents couldn't fight the fire in Maui any more. These granola whack jobs claim that water is too sacred to fight fires with. STFU you lying freak.

Forest Fires: Planned Ignition versus Planned Cuts

I just want to reiterate the obvious. We've talked about how BC's response to fighting forest fires has changed for the worse and how it is difficult to believe that these changes are simply negligence. It's hard to believe it's not intentional since they coincide with the WEF agenda.

Two examples that come to mind this summer are the Shuswap fire and the Kelowna fire. The Shuswap fire was made much worse by a planned ignition and the Kelowna fire never should have got that close to the town. It's on a lake. Water bombers can fill up right there. The NDP's negligence in that fire looked like they were simply trying to burn down a rival riding.

Two years ago the local media asked why giant water bombers were sitting idle while BC burns. Then the BC NDP responded with their ridiculous rationalization. They said we need smaller planes and helicopters that are more maneuverable. That is insane. Maneuverability has nothing to do with it. When you fight a fire the more water the better. A helicopter with a bucket is not it.

When you're fighting a fire which is better. Throwing a single bucket of water or turning on a fire hose? The fact that the BC NDP is refusing to use the large water bombers and put them up for sale is a scandal far worse than fast ferries. Using helicopters to light fires is another aspect of it.

Let's talk about planned ignition. The theory is, if you set a fire on the outskirts of a fire, by the time the original fire gets there it will be out of fuel and have nothing to burn. However, there is an inherit problem with that theory.

Let's do the math. Say we have a fire moving south. We light a fire south of that fire so it will run out of fuel when it gets to that point. Why is the fire moving south? It is because the wind is blowing south. If we light a fire south of that fire, why would that fire move north? It wouldn't. The logic is inherently flawed and they don't care because ultimately they don't want to fight fires they want to exasperate them to justify their agenda.

The fake news isn't covering the scandal because they want the drama. They want to show horrific images of destruction from fires so they can blame in on climate change and usher in the New World Oder. Climate change is no reason to throw away civil liberty and usher in the WEF's twisted brand of Communism. Neither is arson or negligence.

Let take the reasoning behind planned ignitions and apply it to a different solution. One that would be much safer and much more cost effective. Say we have a fire moving south. Instead of lighting a fire south of that fire which would probably move south, let's do a narrow clear cut south of that fire. Forest fires move fast don't ya know. Ya I know but so does machinery. Machinery cost money don't ya know. Ya I know but harvesting the trees would pay for it. Just sayn.

Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Smoke On The Water. July was flawless. August, not so much. A few weeks ago as the sun rose over the horizon it was bright red. We now know what that means in BC. In means smoke from forest fires. For the last few weeks the summer sky has been clouded with smoke and tonight the smoke has started to descend into the city. We really need to be more proactive in dealing with these forest fires. It is becoming an annual event.

It's heartbreaking to see a forest beside a lake burn to the ground like in the above picture from Peachland. It was right beside a water source. There is no reason for this. We need to install fire hydrants and irrigation for the next generation of tree planting. One of the reason we have so many forest fires now is because of the long dry summers. This can be eased through irrigation.

Several years ago I attended the Joey Verma trial in Kelowna. I stayed at the Bear Creek campgrounds on the west shore of the lake. There was remnants of a previous forest fire. One employee said a few years ago a forest fire in West Kelowna came right up to the campsite. One crazy old man with a garden hose refused to leave and held the fire off single handedly. Installing fire hydrants and sprinklers in forests near water sources will be a step forward for everyone.

We also need a few big ass water bombers the size of a B-52. Justine Trudeau wasted all that money buying a pipeline that already existed when he could have purchased some water bombers instead to fight the fires. That shows you where his priorities are.

Kelowna forest fire contained

Castanet is reporting that "Evacuation orders downgraded to alerts, fire held at Knox Mountain." OK Knox Mountain is right in town. Just up the street from the Kelowna Hells Angles clubhouse that was seized by the police. Having a fire that close to the city centre is indeed concerning.

Evidently there was another fire on Knox mountian five years ago. I stayed at the Bear Creek campsite on the other side of the lake once and one of the staff told me a forest fire came close to them one year and a senior citizen was out there fighting the fire with a garden hose.

A couple of weeks ago there was a fire by Bear Creek from a dirt bike. Five years ago the fire on Knox mountain was investigated as being started by arsonists. In 2003 the fire was signifigant.

Large Condo Fire in Surrey

Update: The fire is pretty much out but the residents can't return home. Very sad. Looks like the adjacent building might have water damage from sprinklers. 

2nd Update: CBC has an aerial shot of the fire damage

Fire crews are on the scene of a large condo fire in Surrey on 104th Avenue between 100th Avenue and 101 Avenue. It's contained but three ladder trucks in 154th street hammered it with water to contain it. A fourth was set up on 101st Avenue in case it spread. Just like that other business fire on 104th the Surrey Fire department were very aggressive and very effective and continuing the fire before it spread. 

So once again to put out  a large fire you need to hammer it with water. You can't fight forest fires with a shovel and a sprinkling can on a helicopter. You need more water from water bombers. 

In the spirit of preparedness, it raises the concern about fighting fires in Surrey after an earthquake. We all know Metro Vancouver is over due for a large earthquake. 

Metro Vancouver is working on the problem but it's quite possible an earthquake would shut off water to Surrey. The North Shore watershed might not be accessible. 

Which means if a fire breaks out after an earthquake, all the wood framed houses are very high risk for ending up like Maui in preparation for a 15 minute city. 

Building towers out of wood like the one across from Superstore on 104th Avenue is a bad idea. Once a fire starts, if it's not quickly contained, will spread like a forest fire. 

The next morning the fire alarm was going off to discourage people from returning to their homes. One vertical block was destroyed but the rest of the complex was intact. 

BC Wildfire Service has lost its way

Kamloops this Week is reporting that "As a lifelong resident and a professional forester in B.C. for more than three decades, with a 40-year wildfire suppression background, and previously recognized by the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS) as a wildfire specialist, I am angered by the present state of wildfire management in our province." Bruce Morrow op ed.

He makes several important observations and quotes the Shuswap preignition which made the fire much worse. When you look at that along with their long list of bad practices, it's hard to believe that it's simply negligence and isn't planned. Like cutting off the water supply in Hawaii during the fire or setting up police roadblocks preventing people from escaping. Something very shady is going on here and we can all see it.

Forest fires are certainly not new in BC but these new bad practices are. I have two points to make: volunteers and water bombers. In BC every community has volunteer firefighters. These are trained professionals who have regular jobs and are on call when a fire breaks out. One of my managers at work is one. He has a regular job and when a fire breaks out he takes a leave of absence to fight the fire. This is very helpful and important. It's also cost effective.

The BC's new forest fire promotion commission stopped allowing trained volunteers to assist fighting fires. They are even banning community members from protecting their own homes. That is George Orwell. They are more interested in enforcing evacuation orders than they are in fighting fires. That reveals an agenda. It's the same old problem, reaction solution paradigm.

They create a problem, wait for the reaction and then present their preplanned response to their manufactured emergency. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. No lie can live forever.

New pilots who want to get their commercial pilot's license need to get hours in flying. Often they sign up for water bombing during forest fire season to get those hours in. This was a common process. The WEF's NDP stopped this. They have created a problem and intentionally made it worse because they have a sinister agenda just like Justin Trudeau. Stop them.

Why is an Island-based water bomber sidelined as B.C. burns?

Forest Fire consumes Jasper

Update: California’s Park Fire that’s torched over 120K acres ignited by ex-con - ABC News Video

Everyone knew Jasper was high risk for a forest fire because of a pine beetle infestation.

RCMP say arson behind 29 Okanagan wildfires over last four years

Quebecer pleads guilty to setting 14 forest fires

This is clearly another tragedy. Could it have been avoided? I can't help but feel that it could have. I really think the way we fight forest fires now is wrong. We need more emphasis on large water bombers and less emphasis on ground crews. We need to stop controlled back burns. Everyone thinks something shady is going on.

Since massive wildfires have clearly become part of the new normal we must adopt and invest in large scale heavy duty water bombers. A couple of float planes and helicopters won't do it.

Remember, Jason Kenny was initially on the wrong side of Covid lockdowns. He didn't see the light until the end long after Florida and Texas showed it could be done. Danielle Smith Is a huge step forward but she is not flawless. Neither is her party. Jason Kenny had many globalists on his team and they are still in the party. We need to be better prepared.

Forest fires create more C02 emissions than all the cars in Canada. Fighting forest fires doesn't just protect persons and property, it also protects the environment. I've talked about narrow clear cuts instead of controlled burns. Some claim forest fires can move too fast. That is arguable. However, there's nothing stopping us from clear cutting a ring around a town, planting grass and turning it into a park to fortify a city and create a buffer zone against approaching fires.

The WEF government wants us dependent on them. The WEF government wants us to own nothing. That includes homes and property. The WEF government wants us to become victims. The WEF government doesn't want us to be proactive and self reliant yet that is exactly what we must be. We must do better. The future depends on it.

It doesn't look that big on the satellite image. Maybe that's because it's from so far away. If that's from space and you can see the flames then that is big. I just want to see pictures of the fire itself.

Wildfire south of Lytton triples in size to 460 hectares

CTV is reporting that "An out-of-control wildfire burning about 10 kilometres south of Lytton, B.C., has tripled in size since its discovery on Monday. The BC Wildfire Service now estimates the Cantilever Bar wildfire to be 460 hectares in size."

As the fake expert on the radio climatized us for more out of control forest fires my first question is where are the water bombers? There aren't any. This video was from 7 years ago. 

Oh we stopped doing that because chemicals are bad for the environment. So is CO2. "In 2023, Canada's wildfires emitted a record amount of carbon, exceeding all other sources of emissions for the country and representing a substantial portion of global wildfire emissions."

So we're going to ban your cars and let forest fires burning out of control. We had two huge fire in Surrey recently that were quickly brought under control because they dumped a massive amount of water on them. Water is clean and green. 

Previously, pilots wanted to get their commercial pilots licenses needed to get flying hours under their belt so they would volunteer fighting fires in BC. They would use water bombers and float planes. They've changed their strategy which is so less effective is screams culpability. 

You fight fires with water not with back burns and a shovel. In Maui and LA they turned the water off. Just like David Eby is doing in BC. CTV is reporting that "A trio of helicopters are bucketing the fire, while 45 firefighters and structure protection personnel have been deployed on the ground." Ground crews and a trio of helicopters with tiny buckets. That's like fighting a house fire with a garden watering can. 

We need water bombers and float planes like we used to use. We can all see the criminal culpability in the change in forest fire management. If climate change is real then we need to prepare for it by dumping more water on it aggressively like the Surrey Firefighters do not by climatizing us for fraud. 

Fighting forest fires properly and aggressively will reduce CO2 emissions a lot more than banning cars in Canada. So will replacing industrial coal with natural gas. They obviously don't want to reduce CO2 emissions. They just want to ban cars in Canada. That's why they bombed the Nordstream pipeline. They don't want to reduce CO2 emissions, they just want to use their manufactured emergency as an excuse to embrace Communism and their New World Order.

We also need to talk about the other lie they keep repeating over and over again. Last week on the radio they were going off about how CO2 is pollution and is the biggest threat to the planet. That is a ridiculous lie. 

Cars emit pollution but CO2 is part of it. CO2 is a critical part of our atmosphere just like Oxygen is. They keep claiming CO2 is poison when they push the Net Zero fraud.

Trees need CO2. If there is no CO2 all the trees die and so does all the oxygen they produce. That means we die too. The ecosystem revolves around balance. 

Obviously, if there is a huge imbalance in the atmosphere that's isn't good but the claim that CO2 is pollution is a lie. If they really cared about CO2 emissions they would fight forest fires far more aggressively instead of cutting off the water. 

In BC we can all see the NDP is far more concerned with enforcing evacuation orders than with fighting the fires properly. That's a Bonnie Henry thing. Volunteer fire departments used to be an important part of the community. 

Progress means we try new things but if they are less efficient we go back to what is the most efficient. To do that we need to see through the lies and the first lie is the claim that CO2 is pollution when it is not. Just like the term safe supply. Both claims are a con that we need to reject. 

LA Wild Fires and Arson

California Insurer Canceled Policies Months Before LA Wildfires

The Center Square is reporting that "Arsonists have been caught on camera lighting fires across Los Angeles as the city burns, highlighting the role of crime and homelessness in the area’s deadly wildfires." 

"In 2023, City Journal reported on how the Los Angeles Fire Department spent approximately $427 million of its $854 million total on homeless-related fires; two years earlier, a Los Angeles Times analysis found more than half of all fires LAFD responded to were associated with homelessness." 

"Podcaster and Stanford professor Andrew Huberman captured a video of what appear to be arsonists in dark clothing setting a fire in Santa Monica, an urban area well beyond the evacuation zone and far from any active wildfires."

Times Now News is also reporting that "As multiple fires ripped through the Los Angeles County area on Wednesday, social media users shared videos to claim that civilians were 'lighting fires' in 'non-burning urban areas' in Santa Monica."

OK before everyone goes mental let's calm down and talk about this rationally. I saw some video clips of the fires on 6AK_TV's Twitter. My first reaction was wow, that's suspicious. It's not even the end of a long dry summer. My first concern was arson. We've all seen this before. 

The Fake News is loosing their sh*t because Henry Winkler made a post on X blaming an arsonist. When I see the coordinated rage and denial in the fake news about this post, it makes me more than suspicious because they have an agenda.

The fact is there are many huge fires burning out of control and that is unusual especially for this time of year. The first article I quoted listed statistics of fires started by homeless in LA. 

Yes that is a concern but the many arsonists that have been caught setting forest fires over the past few years have not been homless. Lunatics? An Agenda? It's hard to say but when we don't know the cause of the fire it is dysfunctional to rage on Henry Winlker or anyone else for expressing a concern. 

We have seen arsonists set forest fires and the damage they do is horrendous. We know the Maui fire was more than suspicious. Criminal negligence was definitely involved. Cutting off the water so residents couldn't fight the fire any more and rerouting traffic back into the fire was an abomination. 

We know that the way the BC fight forest fires now is criminally negligent. Helicopters with buckets instead of a brigade of water bombers and precognition back burns. That is fake science. Changing the way they fight forest fires had an agenda. 

Niss Cee Social recently explained the concerns with 15 minute cities. Debunkers claim just because they build a 15 minute city that doesn't mean they are going to confine you to that area. Then why I'd Bonnie the Freak bring back mask mandates when there's no pandemic? It is all part of an Agenda. 

Extremist wants another safe injection site

Front page of today's province declares "Advocate wants second insite." He's not an advocate, he's an extremist. In fact, he's a murder. Oh but he's with a group the extremists cry. Yeah, what group? The group that runs insite. No kidding. Well that's simply a conflict of interest. The group that runs insite wants another one to profit from. That's like a medical doctor getting a kickback for prescribing methadone without ever reducing the dosage.

Drug addiction is like a forest fire. The more we feed it the more it consumes. The fact that the operator of insite claims we need more safe injections sites is proof their little pilot project failed. They haven't reduced the amount of drug addicts on the street, they have increased them.

There's a forest fire raging across the country. It started in East Vancouver and is spreading across the province. Prince George, Dawson Creek, Kelowna, Vernon, they're all getting consumed. Does anyone care?

The Hells Angels profit from the drug trade. They use violence to control it. Then they use violence to expand their drug trade into smaller communities that are easily intimidated by a big city gang. Insite is supporting the Hells Angels profiteering. Expanding it is wrong, wrong, wrong. We need to put the fire out not pour gasoline on it.

During the Vancouver Occupy movement, a young woman died of a heroin overdose. What did we do about it? We gave her a clean needle to kill herself with. Courtesy of the Vancouver "Health Authority." Now that is an oxymoron. This heath authority has nothing to do with health. It just feeds death and destruction.

If there was a fire raging through an old growth forest like Clayoquot sound, we'd be outraged. If some wacko kills a bunch of sled dogs, we are infuriated. Why is it that we not only don't care when human lives are lost, we assist in their murder? These are human being we are killing. As precious as a sled dog or old growth tree is, these people we are killing are even more important.





Forget harm reduction, let's have dope reduction instead.

Maui Fire and the Nova Scotia Mass Murders

Update: In the second Dispersing the Fog podcast about Paul Palango's book Anatomy of a cover up he goes into more details about the Corrie Ellison murder. 

"Next week, the show will in part focus on the new revelations around the death of Cst. Heidi Stevenson."

Speaking of poor forest fire management in BC, let's not forget how the cut the water off in Maui and in LA during their fires. A coworker recently returned from Maui and people confirmed the police set up a road block. They prevented people from leaving and turned them back into the fire where they died in their cars waiting in a traffic jam. 

My coworker spoke to one family who said they were able to leave but right after they left, family members called them on their phone saying the police prevented them from leaving and turned them back into the fire. They said the entire family that was turned back died in the fire. 

We heard several accounts of people surviving because they defied the police roadblock and instruction. We need to remember that and we need to talk about that because it ties in with the Nova Scotia Mass murders. In my interview with Paul Palango about his new book Anatomy of a Cover up, he made two bombshell revelations.

First Gabe Wortman was a police Agent. Second, Gabe Wortman didn't kill Corrie Ellison. Paul illustrates cell phone evidence confirming that a witness was at the location the police said Gabe Wortman passed after he killed Corrie Ellison but Gabe Wortman wasn't there. Paul said the evidence shows that Gabe Wortman passed right by the police. He didn't travel the way they said he did. 

So they lied to cover that mistake but they also lied to cover up another mistake. Gabe Wortman wasn't were Corrie Ellison was when Corrie was killed. In my podcast with Paul Palango, Paul said he thinks the RCMP killed Corrie Ellison. My question was why.

In Paul Palango's other podcast about his new book on Dispersing the Fog he explained why. He said he thinks the police killed him by accident. People were on edge looking for a crazed shooter. Paul thinks the police shot Corrie Ellison thinking it was Gabe Wortman by accident. That is possible. That would explain why they lied. The fact is they did lie and they did falsify evidence. So let's pursue that.

West Kelowna Forest Fire: In and Out of Control

Update: WTF - The fire jumped the lake. That's the city centre. There is no way the government should have let the fire get that close to town. Kelowna is on a lake. The water bombers can fill up right there. The fact that they let this happen goes way beyond criminal culpability. A deranged agenda is revealed. This is something we're going to have to talk about. Kelowna isn't a NDP riding. Neither was Lytton. That's no reason to let it burn.

2nd Update: I'm told the fire did not jump the lake and that the threat has subsided. Good news. The NDP government seems more concerned about people obeying evacuation orders after the threat has subsided when they were the ones that created to problem by letting the fire get out of hand without having water bombers fill up on the lake. Another manufactured emergency.

I did a video/podcast about the Kelowna and Hawaii fires because something needs to be said.

Castanet is reporting that "The McDougall Creek wildfire has knocked out power for close to 4,000 West Kelowna homes Thursday night. According to BC Hydro, power has been knocked out for homes along Westside Road, north of Highway 97, and down through the Lakeview Heights area. The rapidly growing wildfire has forced the evacuation of more than 1,000 properties Thursday, as it grows northeast along Okanagan Lake. Westside Road was closed to traffic earlier Thursday evening."

"Central Okanagan Emergency Operations has issued new evacuation orders for all properties on Westside Road from Traders Cover to Nahun. The evacuation alert zone has also expanded north to Killiney Beach. Westside Road evacuees are being asked to evacuate northward on Westside Road towards Vernon where the city has opened an Emergency Support Services (ESS) reception centre at Kal Tire Place (3445 43rd Avenue, Vernon, BC). An interactive map of evacuation zones is here." That includes Bear Creek Campgrounds which is right on the lake.

Satellite picture of BC Forest Fires

@NEWS1130Radio NASA's satellite image from today shows the huge smoke plume caused by the British Columbia fires. #Vancouver #Richmond #WestVan #NorthVan Fire Dept's getting flooded with hundreds of 911 calls reporting smoke. #Vancouver is not on fire.

News 1130 is reporting that An Air Quality Advisory has been issued for Metro Vancouver because of the smoke from wildfires outside our region. This is why Metro Vancouver should not build a garbage incinerator. The Fraser Valley is a valley. All the smoke lingers in the valley affecting the air quality for the whole region.

News 1130 is also reporting that One man was has minor cuts after a gunshot shattered his window in Surrey. Police believe it's was targeted. The investigation is ongoing.

Update: The forest fire thing is actually a bit creepy. After being sunny for so long we finally have some cloud cover. Only it's not clouds, it's a thin veil of smoke covering the whole sky. This morning on the way to work the sun looked reddish orange. The Vancouver Province is reporting that several of the fires have been started by cigarettes. The smoke in Whistler appears to be worse. The smoke there isn't high in the sky it's low and guests are wearing dust masks.

The making of a Predator

This is something I really want to drive home because it is clearly the root of the problem in Surrey and the DTES. The other day I had a talk with an old friend who still does volunteer work in East Vancovuer. Years ago we both noticed that every year there seemed to be more and more homeless and drug addicts on the streets.

East Van has always been referred to as skid road. A place where the down and out go. Back then it was alcoholics some drinking aftershave to get high. Then heroin came in and that addiction consumed the vulnerable. When crack came in the problem continued to expand exponentially.

After all these years of working in east Van my friend has noticed two things. The number of homeless and drug addicted is off the charts as is the complete feeling of hopelessness there. Back in the day people would always say Oh I'm going to get out. I'm going to get treatment. Not any more. Treatment isn't even on the table. The only thing there now is compete hopelessness. This is what the not very safe injection site has done to the DTES. It has created a forest fire of addiction and the total eclipse of any hope anyone once pretended to have.

He talked about the predatory drug dealers that exploit the homeless. He said they're easy to pick out. He talked about being in an alley meeting a 50 year old woman lying on the ground surrounded by syringes. She hadn't moved or had anything to drink for days. The drug dealer at the end of the alley was dressed like a pimp and kept getting reloaded with supplies by an SUV that drove by periodically. He kept taking this woman's money until she had none then moved on to the next mark. He is a predator.

My friend said he often tries to visualize how anyone could be so far gone and so evil to degenerate to be low enough to profit from that kind of misery. He said he couldn't imagine living life without a conscience like that. All these insane extremists that pervert harm reduction into meaning harm promotion do not have the best interest of the homeless at heart. That much is clear to anyone who walks through that hopeless exploitation.

The officer who wrote the blog of the Diary of an East Van Beat Cop admits the first question people ask is when are you going to arrest all the drug dealers? He then explains why it isn't that simple. But it is. It really is. You arrest the drug dealers and reduce the plague of poison on the street. That is the New York model. I saw it.

All our talk about reducing crime is meaningless as long as we allow drug dealers to sell crack in public. Chasing grow ops while we let crack be sold on the street is ludicrous. The problem is staring us in the face and we are all diminished when we turn a blind eye to it.

Insite is a huge part of the problem. When the not very safe injection site opened the police established a tolerance zone where they wouldn't arrest drug dealers around it. That strategy has been one colossal failure. That's like letting a forest fire burn wild. Crack dealers moved in knowing the police won't arrest them and large groups of people smoke crack everywhere in plain view on the street. People are still shooting up in the allies. Insite has not stopped that. We are using tax dollars to commit murder and claim that is somehow promoting heath when it is doing the exact opposite. This is what we need to address.

The Federal government is frustrated fighting the Supreme Court over Insite. Understandably so. The Supreme Court does not have the authority to break the law but that is exactly what they have done. Notwithstanding the fight over Insite the practice of creating a tolerance zone around Insite is a separate issue. The Supreme Court can not stop the police from arresting crack dealers outside Insite. It really is that simple. Until we do that we all become accessories to murder and the predatory drug dealers that exploit the homeless without consciousness.

Budget watchdog urges Ottawa to trim spending

The National Post is reporting that "As the Liberal government opens the fiscal taps to combat the economic fallout from COVID-19, the federal budget watchdog is urging Ottawa to ensure that recent spending hikes do not lead to “structural and permanent deficits” after the virus has retreated. In a report on Friday, the Parliamentary Budget Officer projected that the Liberals would post a $112.7-billion deficit in 2021, not including another $25 billion announced earlier this week to expand employment insurance benefits. Wage subsidies for small businesses were also expanded to cover up to 75 per cent of payroll, adding to the fiscal weight load."

Justin Trudeau had a problem with over spending before COVID-19. One of the unnecessary side effects of COVID-19 is a fear based frenzy that throws fiscal responsibility out the window in a knee jerk reaction to shoot oneself in the foot during an emergency.

Instead of facing massive tax hikes and austerity measures after COVID-19 has retreated, we need to pause and be fiscally responsible now as we pour gasoline on a forest fire of debt that is already burning out of control. We need to get that forest fire under control. That is what we do. Nothing can distract us from that. The government needs to stop meddling in business. People need to go back to work. It's that simple. All businesses are essential services.

South Korea flattened the curve without a lock down. We should be following Korea's example not Italy's. Now people are going to be investing in their economy and so they should.

Likewise, if we can maintain business operations, we can protect our RRSPs from disappearing and from government debt exploding. That uncontrolled debt will indeed explode and collapse in on itself creating a black whole that sucks away our children's future and all of our civil liberty.

They say the Irish have heart and the British have Grit. Brits are notorious for reliability. Bombs, earthquakes or plagues will not stop them from interrupting their regular routine. We need to get back to business as usual. Schools need to reopen after spring break, the malls and restaurants need to open and we need to get back to normal. We don't need to prevent people from going to work then start printing up money and handing it out like candy. If we continue to do that we will take away incentive and our money won't be worth the paper it is printed on.

This article on the National Debt is well worth reading. It explains how Canada's massive debt was accumulated during a time of excess. The G7 "decided to resist borrowing from each of their own central banks, which offered them zero-interest borrowing, and instead, member countries were to borrow from other credit sources… sources which charged interest in a time when interest rates were skyrocketing. Prior to this agreement, Canada’s debt rose between five and ten percent per year. After this agreement, it blew up, and steadily increased over twenty percent per year until the late 80s." Who we borrow the money from is a key factor here.

Spraying launches butterfly and bird genocide in Surrey

Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is pushing the butterfly and song bird genocide in Surrey by promoting the areal spraying for Gypsy moths. "Tessa Nendick, who lives at the Dogwood Campgrounds and RV Park that is within the area with her fiance and their two-month-old son, said as a new mom, she is concerned. 'I’m not crazy about certain things being sprayed,' she said. But, You have to ask yourself, Do the moths cause more problems than the pesticide?"

Well let's do the math. What kind of damage do gypsy moths do? They eat some leaves. Oh really? What kind of damage does the BTK spraying do? It kills all the butterflies, moths and caterpillars in that area which effects all the other living organisms that feed off of them: song birds, owls, bats you name it. They spray the pesticide and the songbird feeds it's baby a poisoned caterpillar and the baby song bird dies. Why do we waist our time doing butterfly releases when we then turn around and kill them all? Individual gypsy moth traps work fine.

Gypsy moths are not the problem pine beetles are. The pine beetles effect the forestry industry and increase the chance of forest fires. How do we solve the pine beetle problem? It's pretty easy. When we replant a forest after a clear cut or forest fire we plant cedar and fir trees instead of pine trees. Problem solved. All these toxic pesticides are bad for humans and destroy the ecosystem that humans are connected to.
