Emergency evaluations…

[WiltonRanch]

Did you ask questions? All I see is you popping in with a handful of posts that seem entirely rhetorical in a crowd of people that you have trained to ignore you.

That is the post of the month! Good job

I sure get a lot of responses and push back for a guy being ignored! LOL

The evacuees in some counties west of Edmonton won't be going back home untill at least a week because the fires are not under control and hot a dry weather is returning. Residents will justifiably be unhappy.

But residents elect their county councilors and reeves from the communities they serve and the counties are the ones that are declaring states of emergencies and mandatory evacuations.

So if the mandatory evacuations aren't needed, why are the councilors and reeves from the very communities supporting them?

Some of the evacuees are blaming the provincial and county governments for not providing enough fire fighting resources. No surprise there. There is never enough in a crisis.

Its gotta be the UCPs and Danny Smith's fault don't you think?

That wont be good for Danny's election hopes. But since Calgary is not on fire maybe it wont matter.

So what is wrong with all those county reeves and councilors who don't agree with the anti government types who don't support mandatory evacuations and emergency maesures?

Where is the anti government revolution so many of you talk about and want in rural Alberta?

Perhaps he has taken his obsession of the premier to a whole new level of stalking. Did anyone recognize Chuck's face amongst the protesters who crashed Danielle Smith's speech yesterday?
Because I would really be jealous if he came all the way to Alberta to stalk the premier, and didn't even stop by to stalk me in person. We were rained out after all, I had the time.

But you still haven't answered the question. Probably because you know that the libertarian view of evacuations doesn't cut it. Even in rural Alberta.

To cover their asses so they don’t get sued by someone who’s an idiot and claims they weren’t told how serious the issue is.

For the 85-90% of emergency workers who use a little common sense… thanks for your : patience, help, dedication, and sacrifice.

We are blessed to have spirited passionate people who do care and are humble enough to know when those who are themselves sacrificing to provide backup and very needed resources …. In extremely difficult situations.

God Bless Alberta…. Many did get enough rain to green the grass and trees… we are thankful for these blessings!

Cheers

Blaithin, that's a pretty cynical view of your fellow citizens and county councilors!

The only reason they support mandatory evacuations is they don't want to be sued? Huh? You would say that in a public meeting?

You don't think that they might also think public safety might be a good reason?

A county councillor is a politician. They’ll say whatever they think people want them to say, and do whatever they have to do to cover their asses.

Cynical, sure. Realistic, also sure.
