Quote:
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is demanding the fire-stricken town of Jasper apologize and retract a report criticizing her government for its role in last summer's devastating blaze.
Smith also blames the federal government for failing in the fire response by not asking sooner for provincial help and for not clearing out dead trees that provided fuel for the flames.
The report commissioned by the municipality reflects a survey of firefighters and other front-line staff who battled the blaze, which destroyed a third of buildings in the town located in the federally run Jasper National Park.
The municipality and Parks Canada had jurisdiction in fighting the fire.
Those surveyed said Alberta officials got in the way with requests for information and issues management and they interfered in making decisions outside their jurisdiction.

No reflection, no acceptance of blame, no "we'll see what we can do better." No, they call out the people of the town that got burned down, claim words from first responders are a politically motivated attack, and demand an apology from the entire town. You know, the one that lost everything. Well #### them, they should say sorry, too.
The town should respond with a separation referendum.
