And one last plug. This is a link to my November 2022 conversation with the extraordinary comic artist and graphic novelist Kate Beaton, of Hark! A Vagrant fame, about her award-winning, genre-defying autobiography, Ducks, on her time working in the oil sands of northern Alberta. Two years later, this one still haunts me. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TmsHHwaApC05pfqYHI7aL?si=toLQn9QmRlqUnIc07QHEaA #KateBeaton #AlbertaUnbound #Ducks #oilsands #FortMcMurray

You're welcome! 
I wish it were better news. 
There are also many other wildfires fires (~170) burning in #Alberta right now.
Last I checked, #FortMcMurray's only two highways out have been blocked by fire. They have previously had to evacuate due to fire.
This new normal is something I suspect none of us really realised could happen. 
I wrote this song the first time Canada's oil town, Fort Mac, burned down. People were really mad. "Too soon!" they said. Now I just post it every time it looks like Fort Mac is gonna burn and our rulers have learned nothing. Video by Jordan L. Watkins. #fortmcmurray #climatecrisis #canada

If you're evacuating from Fort McMurray and have health issues, please remember there is NO Emergency department in Lac La Biche open overnight tonight or Smoky Lake after 6pm this week. Go to Cold Lake if you have the opportunity to get there.

"This year we saw just the exact opposite. Our top 13 most polluted cities [in North America] are actually in Canada." #FortMcMurray and #PeaceRiver in Alberta, along with #Yellowknife, took the top three regional spots.” (2/2)

@cabinradio Leadership in #SlaveLake and I believe also in #FortMcMurray conducted public debriefing sessions immediately after #wildfire evacuation experiences. The well-being of residents was improved by people being able to tell their stories and experiences directly to decision makers. Seems #Yellowknife's leaders don't want to engage with residents but defer this responsibility to a 3rd party. This is what a failure of #leadership looks like.

“It doesn’t take a lot of auditing to see how the bill will get so steep, so fast. The total cost of the 2016 #FortMcMurray fire: $9 billion. The all-in price tag of B.C.’s 2021 #HeatDome, #wildfires, #floods and #landslide, all linked to warming: up to $17 billion. Cleanup and repair after #HurricaneFiona, which bulldozed #AtlanticCanada last year: $3 billion.”
