Right? Like, “Hey! I’ve been shot in the guts, and I’m bleeding out. Ohhhh this hurts! …I know! I’ll shoot myself in the throat so it’s not as painful!”
The logic of our society blows my mind in its utter stupidity.
Canada is big enough that, as bad as it is right now, most of us are still just doing our regular <cough, cough> lives. Until <hack> autumn comes around and the fires abate.
Or, specifically, “we’re steadfastly continuing to feed the global machine that greases the wheels of climate change….”
Canadian here. This is, for many provinces the worst year ever recorded for forest fires. One fire is larger than our smallest province. It’s very bad. Not sure there is a “normal” though as each year can be highly variable, and different measures for what is normal. Gonna get worse too as we move into the coming few years, imo.
“A refresher: Pipsqueak is the Conservative MP who famously joked about “tar babies” in the House of Commons, a derogatory term to describe blacks. He is the MP who attacked Harper for compensating aboriginal residential schools victims, opining that what those lazy natives needed was “hard work.” He is the MP who told his fellow MPs “f— you guys,” and then later said he would “confiscate” the tape of the occasion.”
