I wish I didn't have to tell you about this again, but I do. It's not being reported much in the news — and you know why?

Because it's not 'new' (the origin of the word 'news'), it's old. This has been going on for months now, and corporate news outlets are simply tired of reporting it. But it is still happening.

Canada's boreal forests are burning up.

At least 1100 fires are active, more than 700 out of control. Over 13 million hectares have been burned so far, with no end in sight. It's an unprecedented climate and environmental disaster.

@breadandcircuses I'm beyond incensed that our Federal government is so utterly cowardly on the climate change file because they're so afraid of backlash from the Conflagration Party of Canada. Incremental administrative solutions and paper shuffling won't fix this. We bought a goddamned pipeline but can't transform our economy and lead the world in green transformation? Welp. Time is up.
