Boggling to watch towns across western Canada evacuating again in the face of what will be yet another super heavy wildfire season as Premiers from these same provinces bang the table for more pipelines.

"The Jasper fire was caused by a lightning strike on Monday afternoon and fuelled by strong winds, according to Parks Canada.
Flames from the blaze rose 100 meters high (328 feet), and strong wind gusts on Wednesday afternoon pushed the fire 5 kilometers (3 miles) in less than 30 minutes, said Alberta public safety minister Mike Ellis."
