Even amid a provincial state of emergency that has seen tens of thousands forced to flee their homes due to wildfires, people in B.C. are defying a ban on campfires.

The BC Conservation Officer Service said Monday, in a social media post, that seven tickets were handed out over the weekend totalling a combined $8,050.

It is a yearly event in the East Kootenays that some Albertans are charged for having campfires during a campfire ban. It is as normal as daylight. We also have to do yearly bush cleanups for all the trash and abandoned campers and trailers.

Blaming Alberta for BC's problems is such a boring argument. Locals trash nature all the same. Come check out the island.
