can confirm. family worked in the wildfire management business for 25 years, back when you could make a living doing it, and retire with a good pension. staff now face a depressing reality.
Fuck no. There should be well-paid career trajectories for this type of work and it should be incorporated into a Climate Corp structure . It’s highly skilled work, dangerous and there’s huge value in expertise retention. It’s great that university students feel drawn to this but 12 hr days for up to 14 days in a row is brutal, regardless of what Alpha Male chumps whine about #cdnpoli#canada#alberta#climatechange
Canadians must pay attention to excess profits of the oil and gas industry.
May 16.24: PP set up his "Rage Against Trudeau Disinformation Podium" at ESSO, complete with Axe the Facts banners. Although contentious, it was Mr. Trudeau that invested in Canada by completing the TMX pipeline. A pipeline good for O&G, but they've decided to embrace PP's message of division, disinformation and rage. O&G have made 10’s of billions excess profit over the years...outrageous!
@jphuston
In a triumph of political messaging, somehow PP has managed to skirt around the fact that the completion of the #TMX pipeline was something that the Liberals were able to accomplish that the preceding Conservative government was unable to do.
It’s also somewhat frustrating (but unsurprising) that the $30+ billion dollars that the pipeline is costing Canadian taxpayers isn’t seen for the gift to #Alberta and the #OilAndGas companies that it absolutely was.

"Alberta First” was a through line and theme during this visit, and the Freedom Movement in Alberta RUNS the province and answer to no one, so stop acting like it’ll never happen. "
