RE: https://bclocal.news/@kamloops/116991024903671963
Every #BCWildfire season seems to bring out a bunch of folks who place their own needs above those of the greater community; folks who believe public resources can be appropriated to serve their own selfish interests.
In #BostonBar some numpty damaged the community water system by immproperly turning on a valve to reactivate the public water system after authorities had shut it off reserve the dwindling supply for firefighting efforts.
In the #Shuswap last year people were stealing firefighting equipment put in place to protect vital infrastructure (wooden bridges) presumably to repurpose it to protect their own properties.
I can’t help but believe that these are the same people that railed against the public health measures put in place during the early COVID pandemic… 🤨
Meanwhile the news this morning was featuring some stay-behinds in 70 Mile as brave folks staying behind to ‘protect their community’. Stop it! If you’re told to evacuate, evacuate.
Staying behind just hinders firefighting efforts and adds extra workloads on folks that are already overwhelmed trying to protect your community.
You’re not heroes, you’re selfish assholes.

🚶♀️➡️ While on my walk today I travelled 🧳 thousands of miles to visit 3 places in British Columbia.
🌳 Walking beneath the white blooms of horse chestnut tree brought me back to Victoria, BC, where alarmed ravens swished past my head to protect 🪹 nests.
Stately purple irises transported me to the Shuswap Lake ⛵ area, where they lined a walkway to the cottage nestled in the apple 🍎 and cherry 🍒 tree orchard.
Prickly Pear cacti 🌵 swept me off to Kamloops and Grandmother's voice, "Put your boots 🥾 on so you don't get hurt"
My 2 1/2 mile walk turned out to be a cross country excursion

Of all the places the BCNDP government can dump #carcinogenic torn-up #asphalt, they are choosing to dump it on the Reserves of the #Neskonlith Band.
