Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives.
There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry.
To every person in Canada, including oil industry workers:
We must transition people out of this destructive work at a wartime pace. We can do it, we just have to want to help each other end fossil fuels as soon as possible.

That's solidarity:
"We will not be returning to the skies this afternoon," Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) national president Mark Hancock said at a news conference on Monday.
"If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it. If it means our union being fined, then so be it."
