I have pinned some posts on the fires, though I cant imagine how you know anything about Canada and not know Canada burned 18 million hectares of forest last year, more than Five Million this year.
Trudeau resigning allows the Liberal Party to end oil expansion begin building new energy to replace oil and failing hydro.
The leadership contest will be good for the LPC and Canada.
Maybe even stop PP
Biden closed coal burning electrical generation during COP, 20% of US electricity
I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.
We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.

It frightens me that a Canadian says they dont know about the 160,000 Square Kilometres of Burn in 2023
This is how much burned in 2023.
Everything under the square is burned to the roots. Including the black lines.
I'm assuming you meant to include an image here?
I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn't sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.
