#WildFire in #Vancouver right at the terminus of the #TransMountain #Pipeline 🛢️🔥😶🌫️ -
Good news today that the fire is now listed as “Being Held”. Same size, 1.5ha.

No further updates yet this morning but this CBC article has good details on the initial attack yesterday evening. Two residents were evacuated immediately by firefighters, the rest are on alert.
The fire is near BC Hydro high voltage transmission lines so the wildfire crews were not able to start on the ground until BCH shut down those lines. Until then, helicopters bucketed the fire.
Wind conditions were also favourable.
Hopefully they’ll have it under control today if the weather continues to cooperate. The CBC article includes a map that shows the fire in relation to downtown Vancouver, but doesn’t point out the location of the Burnaby oil terminal even though it is almost exactly halfway between the two.

Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong!
Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer.
(A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come according to Metro Vancouver government.)

RE: https://spore.social/@marcia/116857608414721665
If anyone in Victoria wants to join me for a meeting with MP Will Greaves (@bsky.app.profile.wgreaves.bsky.social) to talk about the proposed new west coast pipeline and federal climate policy, send me a DM.

@Pinchy63
I suppose one useful thing Greaves let me know when we met in June was that some other MPs aren't hearing enough from constituents.He was careful not to name MPs, but he specifically recommended talking to another Liberal MP on the South Island who won by a more narrow margin than in Victoria (Stephanie McLean in Esquimalt—Saanich—Sooke), as well as Conservative MPs, incuding near Nanaimo (Tamara Kronis in Nanaimo—Ladysmith).

I can't wait for the next Weekly Wrap from @bsky.app.profile.wgreaves.bsky.social, where MP Will Greaves tells us how everything thing is fine, actually. /s

Reminder: Even setting aside the huge negative impacts on our climate, pipelines are terrible economic policy. The last one the Liberal Party built, #TransMountain, will lose Canada billions; 20 years from now, it will still be billions in the red.

1 Allowing a #privatesector #pipeline to proceed would have confirmed that there was at least a perceived #economic rationale for it. Making #TransMountain the key player suggests there wasn’t one, that the project is driving by an #ideology that prioritizes #fossilfuels as an #energy source. 🧵

Pipelines faced key challenges in the past. Can Alberta’s overcome them?

"Carney says the world is facing an 'energy crisis' and Canada must help solve it”
How pray-tell will Canada help solve it, Mr. Carney. By building an oil pipeline in 10 years?
Take your nonsensical threats and....
