There's so much twisted rhetoric on socials about how all the fires are due to arson, space lasers, "liberal" agenda to raise the carbon tax or create "15 minute cities" (?) by burning existing communities to the ground intentionally. I have two friends in Kelowna, one was on evac order for almost a full week. I was trying to track local news and on some platforms it was impossible for the conspiracy nuts clogging up the timeline.

Good for firefighters for doing whatever they need to stay safe on the job. Sadly, them pulling some support will also fuel the problematic bullshit. Because of course pulling resources is proof that everything is going according to plan or whatever the fuck.
