Blowing up like a thunderclap in BC now. This summer is beyond terrible for North America--brought to you by climate change. I passed close to here over a decade ago and swam in the nearby Okanagan Lake. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Where is PM @mark-carney.bsky.social with a statement about these worsening fires and evacuations? CTV, CBC, Global - where are questions about our govt’s energy policies and the impact on climate? This is a crisis. #drillbabydrill #burnbabyburn www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Terrifying and heart-breaking. This is because of climate change, unfettered oil and gas development and logging. My family is safely evacuated. Thinking of everyone there, including the domestic and wild animals plus all of the places that make Summerland special. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

When you're running around praising wealthy banker #MarkCarney 's plans for Canada and forging excuses for more pipelines and an array of other climate-killing policies THIS is what you're championing. Ask any climate scientist. It's not refutable. WAKE UP #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My relatives live in Summerland. No word from them yet. The official government position is to accept these fires as new reality while simultaneously building more pipelines & gas plants. Absolutely unreal @danielbachman.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
