Toronto Sun 
Postmedia political columnist Lorne Gunter says preventative measures could have been taken by Parks Canada that may have helped diminish the blazes – but instead “woke” environmentalism fuelled those fires.

Do you hear how ridiculously idiotic you sound, or is it muffled with your head so far up your arse? Seriously, who pukes these people up and gives them a platform to say dumb things? Mismanagement, perhaps, but “Wokeism”? Get a grip. 🧐
So, if you can prove negligence at a criminal level. With multiple reports, then not asking alberta for assistance, which shows malicious intent, then someone or multiple people should be going to jail. The whole liberal "movement" is a joke. The world is laughing at us. The liberal party is a criminal enterprise. Trudeau, Freeland, gilbault, Fraser, the whole party should be in prison
Are any of the MSM taking this view ? Not bloody likely! It’s a sad Canada that we have to look for some common sense outside of these bottom feeding broadcasters. They are like drug attics and they feed on average Joe/jane sheep.
Preparation and using advanced firefighting techniques would cause damage to the governments climate emergency narrative…people really need to pull their heads out of the sand
yep 👍 we know the real cause is Parks Canada 🇨🇦 and their negligence
If it were climate change, all vegetation would have caught fire all around the world, not an isolated spot.
Thank you for truth Mr. Gunter
Garbage youtube messages pinning false facts. 👊🤬👍
Well we gotta chop down 44% of all the pine trees, how many pine trees are in Hawaii or the whole west coast but I never heard this till jasper. Look at their picture, 2 red chairs with a house that is 99% burned out, not more than 30 ft away, what are they showing us. I know all towns with tree damage need 1 mile buffer zone , unless embers can travel that far?
The Toronto Sun has always been akin to the National Enquirer. This commentary proves this point in spades. Click bait title, utter ignorance and “performative” virtue are all the Toronto Sun provides.
1. Mountain Pine Beetle infestation
2. Improper forrest management
3. 25+ years of Conservative and Liberal government fiscal IGNORANCE

Team Trudeau strikes again
Thank you for saying this! I'm from Northern Alberta. It's been dry, to much dead fall, perfect for fires.
Самолеты для тушения лесных пожаров нужно покупать , а не плакать что все пропало ! Какой поп , такой и приход!
700 million in damages! How many water bombers would the buy for the government of Canada. Insurance companies love the government for doing nothing. They can now up everyone insurance across the country to pay for the damages.
Sounds like jasper got MAUIED…..was there a municipal government meeting about high density 15 minute city before the fire started?
You are absolutely Correct.
Imagine if government actually listened to experts? This will keep happening until it does.
This is sas and pathetic. Those in charge of Jasper park should be charged and serve prison time for this, along with their fascist leader guilbaut!
This is what happens when you don’t thin out old trees. 🌲
I worked on many fires starting in the early 70s on cats and these government policies are not new. We were made to stop fighting as early as 4.30 in the afternoon and sit in camp. The wind generally abates late in the afternoon causing most fires to stop advancing. We were all experienced operators and begged them to allow us to cut important fire lane at night but were always refused. They said it was too dangerous! That is a huge load of crap as any good cat skinner knows. By the time the crews were in place the next day the wind was up and the fire would be chasing us. Please do not believe all the CBC tells you as they will always present what trudeau wants them to lie about.
The moon could explode…they would tax us saying it was climate change!!!
Aall it mean fill my pocket Trudeau is broke its all bull 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Again Liberal Bullshit agree with you completely
My daughter works in Forestry planting trees and surveying and the issue with the pine Beatle is true and they didn’t take out the dead wood. The companies were warning the government as stated
The forest industry is a necessity for our environment We need trees for oxygen and wildlife protection
Is junk science and nonsense for anyone to suggest that human activity is the main source of climate change. Any idiot knows that climate on this planet has been changing for over 3 Billion years. To suggest that by driving EV’s , using heat pumps and other ridiculous efforts will stop and reverse climate change is a misleading lie and takes resources from activities that can help us adapt to climate change and limit loss and suffering ( not to mention benefits of climate change ) . The conversation needs to change from these misleading statements that we can change climate change by simple changes to our lives and start adapting to changes to help everyone affected.
and yet the councillor in Jasper just attended a conference and posted about the need for no roads over houses and the need for 15 min cities, also Mark Carney former Bank of Canada and England globalist owns mining in the area, it is being burned to facilitate the gold and lithium mining across Alberta and BC diamond mines, unable to pos the details here..no coincidences
when man doesnt do the will of god god will do it for us … sheesh
Its criminal. The government is criminally negligent..
Tur'dO's Liberals are responsible ! More broken policy that spends Billions and Accomplishes NOTHING ! FJT !!!
The good ol libtards .
Thinning out dead brush and trees is a basic part of forestry management.
Sounds like negligence on behalf of Parks Canada to me.
Sparks Canada 🇨🇦

But….but….. Stephen Guilbeau and Greta Thunberg said……
Gotta love when the grammar Nazi's show up to correct beatle (beetle) and barley (barely). This adds nothing to the discussion. This is how our bureaucracy works too. So focused on doing the right thing that they do nothing at all. Get out of the way and let the professionals (high school dropouts who can run a chainsaw) do their work.
Then residents need to SUE PARKS CANADA!!! Disgraceful behaviour by the government!
Sounds deliberate so they can jump about shouting told you so
Out here in Lotus Land, BC, we have a Jewell of provincial parks called Manning Park. The park is huge and driving through it, from East Gate to West gate, one can’t help but notice the proliferation of “bug killed” trees that cover the majority of the park. Of particular note is the Allison Pass area where I estimate that nearly 100% of the trees are turning brown from bug kill. Those brown trees will not recover and will eventually die and turn into “matchsticks”. Granted, there isn’t a heritage settlement like Jasper in Manning Park but it is exactly the same situation of ignoring warnings and officials wringing their collective hands, hoping that nothing bad happens. What lunacy is this that drives the “woke environmentalists” to ignore the warnings?
The dead trees are in lake Truman. Nothing but double-speak coming from every angle.
Indigenous people warned about this, the Parks Canada ignored our Indigenous Canadian People.
Liberals talk a lot, and their talking does damage
They do nothing because the politicians don't want to fix any problems. Especially ones they caused. They get control over the problems and chaos it causes. It doesn't matter what politician or what party. They both play the same game.
If people want to safeguard their homes, their lives, their right to make a living. Stop relying on some managerial class pencil pusher to do it for them. Especially when those people are not even residing in your area to know the issues your area faces because not every area is the same. This one-size-fits-all agenda doesn't work on people or the places people live in.
There are many factors when you put the Jasper fires into consideration. First off, Mother Nature. The mountain pine beetle usually would be handless by Mother Nature but the winters in the Central Interior were not cold enough to kill off the pine beetle. Secondly the BC government of the day was told by experts in forestry to do a controlled burn of the area to mitigate the pine beetle infestation but sadly the government listened to environmentalists instead, which both the government and the environment interests now agree was a terrible idea. And then thirdly people in some areas not getting rid of all the dead pine trees in their area. A lot of areas in BC did cut down the dead trees but sadly not in Jasper National Park. If any of those preventative steps were taken, Jasper would not of suffered the fate the town unfortunately is suffering from.
parks canada is run by mp gullible and it is against the law in canada to disturb even a wildflower in a national park without the parks permission so this fire lies solely on the head of the environmental mp gullible, we are being governed by mentally challenged wacko liberals.
Did you know that it is actually illegal to remove dead fall from a park? Illegal to do what is best for the forest!
Years ago we used to see prescribed burns every year to combat this sort of thing, that's no longer the case.
Parks Canada has for years now been of the mindset that no human being should touch anything within the boundaries of a national park. If they had their way, they would put up massive walls all around, remove all roads into every park, and get rid of every town within the parks. No visitors would be allowed at all. Now of course if we look at pre-human history of these forests, they burned on a regular basis. But the one and only thing that parks Canada allows is extinguishing those fires. So they actively prevent both human, and natural, forest management, and then wonder why it gets out of control eventually.
NEVER let facts get in the way of an Agenda 2030 ! Get it ?? 👍🏿
The proper term should be pseudo-environmentalist and pseudo-climate scientists. The world already has energy engineers and climatologists that offer a more sober assessment of the environment.
