I'm not going to get into a big debate about this because I do feel for those families and it would suck to be in their situation but there was nothing stopping any of those people from buying insurance, this is why we buy it. If the government is just going to bail us out then why get it?
There are many other reasons why it sends a bad message and can cause problems for those who actually thought to protect their property. I truly do feel for them and I hope friends, family, strangers, etc. can help others out but it should not be the governments job to aid us when we have the chance to protect ourselves. It's not like it was a mysterious earthquake hitting Alberta, it was a wild fire that happens probably once or twice a year up there.
