Thankfully, there seems to be more than a few other commenters telling those guys where to shove their attitude. Tossed $100 into the Red Cross AFA.

Why don't we take care of our homeless and are troops before we start giving money to the lazy Albertans? We need to think of our own first before we start giving hand outs

Fort McMurray is very unique in that almost the entire city is based around the oil sands. The people that have purchased property there should be aware that the value of their property is directly tied to one of the most environmentally destructive projects in the world. And that isn't even considering the oil sands affect on climate change. So it's very difficult for garner sympathy for those people, especially when you introduce the idea that climate change might be partially responsible for the destruction. These people built their house in the sand

It's not even something as clinically simple as that. Be forced to leave your home, possibly pets, drive through flames and smoke all around you, endure the evacuation highway where people are having to abandon cars with smoke/fire in sight. It's a textbook traumatic ordeal. Once you can finally feel like you're not at risk of fiery death, you wait for confirmation that you did lose your home, wonder if insurance will come through, wait for insurer turnaround all the while your kids are wondering what the gently caress and feeling everything even harder than you are. Wild stuff.

They are a hospitable and generous people for the most part (and they're actively fleeing their country precisely because of the small minority that seriously sucks). Also, I think it's cool and good to fine people heavily if they're too goddamn ignorant to use an ashtray when they smoke, especially in a car since you know you will smoke in it and you have ample room to carry a receptacle. At the very least, you should extinguish the cigarette, strip all remaining tobacco out and step on it, and then throw your butt in a garbage can. This is very simple, it's not too much to ask. never happy posted:Fort McMurray is very unique in that almost the entire city is based around the oil sands.

My post was about the insane response to the fires. There wasn't a reaction like this during the Cold Lake fires. But when you have the epicenter of so many problems this country faces go under flames, the response is going to be fucky

This fire is tearing our great nation apart. Our national fabric cannot sustain. The only solution is to cut Alberta loose and let it all burn down. Perhaps a future generation will settle there once the ashes have cooled.

If you're opposed to climate change it's a good thing fort mac burned to the ground and the people that lived there and made money hand over fist from destroying the planet deserve their houses to be burned to the ground. People need to harden the gently caress up and realize taking a stand means being militant in your beliefs because this is a goddamn war.

I have no idea but compared to the gibberish that purports to explain how this could possibly be misogynistic, it's a downright sensible thing to say. Like, if I say or do something stupid and people rip on me it's because they think I'm a friggin idiot, not cause they're misandrist.
