Presently, as I initiate this article, my town, the entire upper East Coast, and Great Lakes Midwest are shrouded in smoke, from Canada. Inasmuch as I’ve walked this earth for a fair amount of time, I can declare that this is a contemporary problem. The mid-Atlantic is famous for hazy summers, and I have no doubt, some whisps of smoke visited my region occasionally and unannounced in years past, but what is occurring now in historic scale only goes back to the last few years. 2023 in particular was a bad stretch for a few days. I know that large wild fires can happen in any forested location including the United States. I know western states deal with this every year, sometimes at catastrophic levels but also know that the proportion of ‘wild and dry lands is far greater out west; expected. So why Canada and why now?
Why? In all the coverage, even hard baked into our cellphone weather maps, in spite of all the major media coverage, and in spite of all the independent weather prognosticators, I have yet to see the current situation addressed with a real ‘why’. It’s almost like to say anything is a hard taboo. There are reportedly 800 or so Canadian wild fires burning. Why? Why 800? The area of Canada generating the smoke, as per the weather maps I review, it is roughly the size of the mid Atlantic. There are no uncontrolled blazes in the mid-Atlantic at all. There are 800 in Canada in an area roughly the same size. Why? We’re having similar weather. Going back to the 2023 events, it was eventually found that extremist eco-terrorists had set many of the blazes in an attempt to further legitimize global warming fears and perhaps also to sow general suffering and instability. Nice guys they were. Tsk Tsk, we all moved on. Maybe the same thing is happening now, same story line, same terrorist, who knows; no one is talking and even if it’s found later to be the same thing, we’ll all move on anyway.
However, one thing is for sure: fires don’t happen in a vacuum. Absolutely, some are just ‘happy little accidents’, but 800 happy little accidents? Droughts happen all the time. So does lightning, but some governments will just let a trillion tons of fuel lay around waiting for a spark, other will do managed fires, but not in July. Some governments will spend money to manage it, others are too pre-occupied elsewhere to do so – like fostering woke agendas. In the absence of forthcoming and transparent explanations – and apologies, let’s just say that I’ve already identified the why in the last couple paragraphs. But a little asterisk needs to be made in the event that there is more.
It’s no secret that Canada has gone rogue woke. While I’ve discussed this before, I’ll summarize thusly: They’re intent on forming a fully ultra-progressive, perhaps even socialist society, and when I say ‘they’, I mean their ruling class, especially their urban centers beyond which population is sparse. States like Alberta can be excused from this explanation. Canada is increasingly anti-American. They are vigorously embracing their own dissolution by overwhelming immigration. They’re notably embracing medically induced death for a rapidly expanding list of reasons, far beyond terminal, far beyond suffering, now encompassing psychological complaints, potential medical debt, and even children. The institutional fixation on death, in my observation, has no rational humane overarching objective, even as there are plenty of inhumane reasons why a euthanasia program might be progressively expanded into something else. It is a precursor to true genocide [a term and concept unfortunately already well bastardised]. Which brings me back to the wildfires. If there were ever a season to routinely fire up crematoriums in order to mask the true extent of an undeniably expanding program for ‘medical’ termination, MAID, this is what it would look like. Maybe I’m tossing this out as a plot for a dystopian science fiction thriller. Maybe I’m just forcing a denial if it were to be had; or maybe I’m the idiot that’s willing to call out a pattern, an inconsistency, or a trajectory well before polite society ever allows itself to think the thoughts.
