Environmentalists passed laws that prevented forestry maintenance (Cleaning up underbrush and dead-falls) so you have up to 20 years of dead material as fuel.

Northern Alberta is about as remote as you can get. Only one town of 20,000 exists north of Fort McMurray.

I was talking to a forest firefighter who used to work in Manitoba yesterday.

He said those fire can burn upto 1.2 meters into the ground and there will be embers and burning until this winter. Unless we can somehow flood that area instantly with like a meter of water there is no way that fire is going to be put out.

French-anon.

Exploitation is used in actual English as a bad term.

Pimps exploit their whores, and so on.
Since you using it in a negative term (talking about the environmental issues) it going to be viewed as you saying canada was wrong in going after all that oil.

Development is the term that is not viewed as a weasel word.

So? No one's asking you to eat it. Most of it is upgraded into synthetic crude before it's even shipped out. But go ahead, keep paying terrorists in mud huts and central american commies for their oil instead because it's a tiny bit better for the environment.

They are arguably too good. They put out fires when they're small for decades now and the forest has all this deadfall and impenetrable underbrush that never was never allowed to burn like it would have naturally. The forest is going to burn eventually, it has to. They just kept delaying the inevitable and creating a forest that was like matchstick for huge fires.

The Beast has been unleashed. That's what the firefighters call it.

I'm an American living in Alberta.

They don't have disasters like we do. There isn't anything like the National Guard here. The scale of it all is unprecedented. Furthermore, Fort McMurray only has one way in and one way out.

Considering all that they've really done an admirable job. No looting and no deaths which is the most you can ask for in this kind of situation.

they probably just don't have these kinds of disasters. in America we are use to wildfires so we are more prepared. if we suddenly got as much snow as Canada does then we would be unprepared and they would probably be saying the same thing.

RCAF is already in the area. 2 SAR choppers and 2 transport choppers, plus a Herc to ferry people and supplies around. No ground troops yet because its too dangerous and there isn't much they could do anyway.

Maybe it's because the west doesn't give a fuck about them?

Either way, it would be a good idea for Trudeau to appease the west by giving them a few billion. Then Alberta could turn a bit red for next election.
