Well I guess if there can be any silver lining its that this will create some jobs in an area that's really hurting right now.... Dont know who is going to pay for it though

This is terrible to see. Hope everyone is safe.

Canada has 30 million people, so inevitably there is a few attention hungry dickwads. By focusing on these very, very, very few people, it legitimizes their stance. Would you spend time posting and discussing someone who thought this started because God got angry? Don't bother. 99% of this countries citizens' hearts are bleeding for these people

It irks me when people take the stance that somehow these people got what they deserved. No one deserves what is happening up there. I don't derive joy from being outraged, I feel sadness that other Canadians view Alberta with this slanted take.
You didn't offend me at all. The mods already said not to politicize this thread. It should be about the fire and those who are affected by it. That's it.

Gotta be frustrating for the firefighters on the front line trying to control it best they can.

A section of a major highway out of Fort McMurray is shut down after a crash between an SUV and a tractor trailer killed two people.
Lac La Biche RCMP say the collision happened on Highway 881 at Range Road 94 near the Heart Lake First Nation.
The driver and passenger of the SUV were declared dead at the scene. RCMP could not be reached to confirm what time the collision happened.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmont...567142?cmp=rss

Is that the burned out tractor trailer we saw earlier?

Well, another vehicle maybe, slowing down everyone's evacuation.

Think he had control though, overreaction by Violater.
