It's not a conspiracy that our federal government neglects these parks to the point of extreme fire hazard, then I guarantee you they'll use this to push there climate change agenda.
Federal parks should remain 100% natural. Burn / don’t burn, flood, infestation, all natural growth and death. There shouldn’t be any private property there to begin with. The federal policy follows a lot of it, except when they can make money there.

Wasn't part of there agenda to get people out of the parks? Mission accomplished

All the greenies were pushing for it. Even in alberta that ndp twat Shannon phillops
Pushing for what exactly? And which parks, they all serve a different purpose. We have Provincial Parks, Federal Parks, PRAs, Wilderness areas, Ecological reserves, Natural Areas and Heritage Rangelands. Some for play, others for no people.

Isn’t that the model that 50% of planes ever built have been destroyed in a crash killing the pilot. Yes, low production numbers and very, very sketchy job to perform, but fun statistic nonetheless.
According to the link I posted, (and apparently you didn't read) :

"Out of the 95 CL-415s built, 14 have been destroyed in the following accidents:"

If you want to include its predecessor, the 215:

"Over a period of 21 years beginning in 1969, 125 of these aircraft were built and sold to customers in 11 countries. CL-215s have been involved in 31 accidents, 20 fatal."

Reeding is hard.

I think the planes are awesome, just was remembering some Fire Boss YouTube videos I watched recently that went down the rabbit hole of various flying water tankers around the world and their habit of drowning or creating new fires on a mountain side somewhere.

Got to watch 4 Firebosses here right at home a few weeks ago hitting Ghost Lake. Had a CL-415 one day as well. Was following them on Flight Tracker and watched them change course suddenly on their trip, boom sure enough a new fire reported 10 minutes later 20 miles away. Knocked it out that afternoon and evening.

People are upset they can’t sell their vacant lot after their house burnt down? Ya, I’d like to sell some Crown land too, haha. Squatters are funny people.

I was listening the radio a few days ago and a guy was saying that there has always been a shortage of home in Jasper. He said because of the land situtation, not enough room to build more houses on. Who wants to bet that the 'lots' get repo'd and condos pop up everywhere in the new jasper town

I talked to some people whos house burnt down in Jasper.

They have a apartment in Edmonton.

Insurance already has a plan they are happy with.

A new home will be built for them once the burnt one is cleaned up.

They are hoping to move back in less than 2 years
