And a good way to get everyone to work together is to have what? A central culture people are attached to and where the environment is important instead of a bunch of cultures that don't mix up and that care about whatever else is important to them, very often things that concern their country of origin more than the country they live in.
You won't care about foresr fires in a province 4000km away if the news that you watch are exclusively the ones from a country 10 000km away.
You're right about one thing. Nobody cared about the forest fires this year. Off the charts
Yeah I was watching the fire reports this year, got within two kms maybe less but with city between. It was a nerve racking time seeing the evacuation notices so close. Going to work one day could see them burning across the lake with red glows and hoping it wouldn't get closer, it jumped the lake though. A good reminder to have a go bag ready in case you were evacuated on short notice, definitely had the car filled and provisions in case they were needed. Maybe it was an overreaction with so many buildings between but rather be prepared.
It's going to get worse before it gets better. The co2 emissions from forest fires aren't counted towards Canada's carbon footprint either, despite producing more greenhouse gases than Mexico's economy. I think we're doing too little too late, and we're just seeing the dominos start to fall.
But yeah how dare they cancel new years >:(
