    More than 25,000 residents in three provinces have been evacuated as dozens of wildfires remain active and diminish air quality in parts of Canada and the US, according to officials.

    Most of the evacuated residents were from Manitoba, which declared a state of emergency last week. About 17,000 people there were evacuated by Saturday, along with 1,300 in Alberta. About 8,000 people in Saskatchewan had been relocated as leaders there said the number could climb.

    Smoke was worsening air quality and reducing visibility in Canada and into some US states along the border on Sunday.

      The fire raging through Flin Flon began a week ago near Creighton, Saskatchewan, and quickly jumped the boundary into Manitoba. Crews have struggled to contain it. Water bombers have been intermittently grounded due to heavy smoke and a drone incursion.

      I wish people would stop running drones in an emergency area. Fucking idjits just want to be able to post to TikToc.

        In BC it is dealt with swiftly and with heft: immediate 10k fine (up to $100k), you are on the hook for expenses caused by the drone interference, and you have to go defend yourself against spending a year in jail.

          Then we have Scott Moe saying 90% of wild fires are caused by people, he gives no explanation of how he came to that number just that he did.

          In Saskatchewan we have the biggest reserves of potash, luckily we have the ability to process it here. So not shipping unprocessed potash is a good thing. In Saskatchewan we also have massive reserves of Uranium but no way of processing it here so we are shipping unprocessed uranium out of the province so that a minuscule some of it can come back while the majority is sold elsewhere. In Saskatchewan we need to be able to process it and use it here if we want to do are part in fighting climate change. Sure growing the crops we grow takes CO2 out of the air but that is only during the growing months.
