The images are ones of devastation — scorched homes, virtually whole neighborhoods burned to the ground. And Canadian officials say they expect to fight the massive wildfire that has destroyed large parts of Alberta's oil sands town for months.
There's fear the growing wildfire could double in size and reach a major oil sands mine and even the neighboring province of Saskatchewan.

The fire that has already prompted the evacuation of 88,000 people from the city of Fort McMurray was on its way to doubling in size on Saturday, the seventh day of what is expected to be the costliest natural disaster in Canada’s history.

did they catch the treudeau mooslims that did it.
I noticed it’s a wild fire. But yahoo keeps bringing up oil sands, oil workers, oil sands town, oil company. Trying to blame this on evil oil.
One can look at the bright side there are going to be a lot of construction job rebuilding for the next few years.
Just ban fire, already.
I would bet it could be blamed on evil environazis. They probably ran out all the loggers which made the vegetation thick and ready to burn everything.
O yeah, I looked it up and the Oil Sands are natural.

The smoke from this fire made to northeastern Minnesota on Friday night. Thankfully, the winds shifted and blew it away the next day. Acrid.
importing invaders is a man-made disaster

It’s too remote for most water resources and fire crews. I think they need to dump water and chemicals on the fire like they do with American wildfires.
So, since a wildfire is natural I am assuming that all the carbon spewing into the air will not be counted as pollution by the environazis. I am sure that if I have a small campfire in my backyard algore and Leonardo Dicaprio will.
The haze is in the air in western North Dakota since Friday. The smell is subtle but it makes your eyes burn after a while. We are next to the Teddy Roosevelt National Park and the parkies are doing their best to stop an oil refinery from being built with the claim it will ruin the clear skies over the park. Not a peep about this shambles, though. Am sorry for the Canuks. They may not recover in this lifetime.
If it hits the oil sands, all bets are off.
I bet it would be like a coal mine fire but with more gusto.
This is directly caused by.....................
