Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire (#underwoodFire) started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives.
There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry.
To every person in Canada, including oil industry workers:
We must transition people out of this destructive work at a wartime pace. We can do it, we just have to want to help each other end fossil fuels as soon as possible.

The Wesley Ridge fire evacuation area has expanded as the fire area has increased to almost 400 hectares. It's still out of control and has reached areas with homes. SAR groups and local Fire Departments were out yesterday afternoon going home to home in the expanded evacuation order and alert areas.

The world is on fire, and the owner of an electric car company is helping fuel the flames of both climate change and fascist capitalism.

A lot of people are going to say things like: “that's it, it was never really viable anyway. we should just have highways and walking paths”.
But not only is the statement completely false, that's the attitude that got us here. That's the attitude that has brought us climate change. And worst of all, that's the defeatist and nihilistic attitude that will lead to the burning of not just more forest, but whole communities, and eventually, the likely collapse of our civilization.
After the 2021 November floods there was never a question about whether the government would spend (never accounted for!) billions on repairing the highways immediately.
The CN and CP Railways also rebuilt theirs that were heavily damaged, and did it a lot faster, because railways are a lot easier to build, and rebuild, than 4 lane, or 2 lane highways.
During the 2023 wildfire on the other side of Cameron Lake, the railway sat unused while the highway was closed for weeks, leading to massive economic losses for #PortAlberni #tofino and #Ucluelet and all the Nuchanulth Territories and huge social disconnection.
So rebuild it? Absolutely!
Electrify it? Darn right!
Run Freight and Passenger on it again for the benefit of all Islanders!? OF COURSE! It should have never been allowed to stop its 100 years of service to us in the first place!
