Never been easier than the #ClimateEra to identify truly bad leadership. Alberta's premier deeply admires this man & in the same spirit pursued wild #MassArson conspiracy theories rather than the universally accepted science on climate & wildfires #abpoli https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/06/15/desantis-florida-storm-floods-rain/

🧵/2 If the only steps taken by our government inre the worst wildfire season in our recorded history was a wrong-headed, conspiracy-fuelled #MassArson investigation, what steps may we now FINALLY take, given we've got the silly stuff out of the way? https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/what-we-know-and-dont-know-about-albertas-unprecedented-wildfire-season

If approved, a #ClearCutLogging proposal from a company called #SprayLakesSawmills will impact popular #hiking/#cycling trails near tourism destination #BraggCreek. Do Albertans know what's at stake here? Is the public being consulted properly?

All it takes from there is a morally broken man like #WBrettWilson who never cared how many Albertans he hurt with his #AbandonedOilWells to then take an entirely bogus #MassArson claim & make another entirely bogus connection to climate folk. Lather, rinse, repeat. /8
