    Would those hindering actually be the governments who refused help to put the fires out?

    Why cant we communicate with any of the Evacuees?
    Why are all the alleged evacuation centers, not allowing any people in?
    Why did you block all footage from everyones phones?
    Why is the media and govt blocking all footage of the fires?

    People need to understand that this is all agenda 21 where they can now Lable a zone evacuated and if you go into that zone wherein the past You are allowed to take care of your own property now they're going to charge you.. Instead of charging the people who are lighting the fires they can now get the people off of the land.. And then watch for this not letting people back on the land it's not deemed to safe. Take kick all the people off land then They slashed the firefighters and when everything Burns you have nothing to go back to and they have past bills that allow the government to then not let. People live in a zone that they think is a flood zone or a fire zone.. who is starting the fires? Who is the fire bug. It's the government to push agenda 21 and get u off the land and eating bugs in your smart city with your digital currency

    I was there hours before fire jumped hwy 43. When fire was flaring up and getting very close. Road side turn outs were filled with firefighters. They were staging ditches with dozers with tiller attachments yet they never tilled the ditches right where the fire jumped hwy, by the north tony road. They had the time to till and had equipment right there.

    I dont trust one damn thing the main stream media says. Something seems very off with their narrative.

    It's been pouring rain from valleyview to fox creek for two solid days and some rain 3 days ago.
    Firms shows no more hotspots and fox creek is under rainfall warning. How can it be fox creek is still evacuated and closed?

    Now we all must be scared… afraid… frightened about something else…. alcoholic beverages. Something we always knew BUT now need to be very frightened about. But hey….
    Bad politicians cause public stress, anxiety and the social costs are high with citizens being unproductive listening to and complaing about… politicians.
    Global should do an expose on this.

    Why so many "NEWS" sites have comments turned off denying Canadians "Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press."?
    Why aren't other NEWS sites covering that?

    The Christie pitts riot happened 90 years ago, and your eye witness is 88. That's good journalism.

    Amazing that racism et al has been on the rise for a decade now and we still haven't seen a peak.
    You'd think we'd be seeing roving bands of neo-nazis.
    So maybe stop teaching racism and celebrating them then?

    I'm continually surprised that there's been no mention let alone questions of upgrading the existing Alberta Super Scooper Fleet let alone buying new Made IN Alberta Super Scoopers with three times the capacity during the Provincial Election!

    Both Party Leaders have slashed the Fire Fighting Budget in there time as Premier only to have the very next fore season explode on them. It's happening again & Fire Fighters & Water Bombers from across Canada & the US are working the Fire's that Alberta couldn't deal with

    A conservative started the fire, conservatives are hindering the effort to put out the fire and the conservatives gutted the agency responsible for putting out those fires. And now conservatives are begging the libs to save them from their own nightmare…
