I really laughed at the Fireman’s Carry.

If the cave men had to go through all this break down barriers, all different genders & diversity nonsense we probably wouldn’t be talking about this now. The human race would’ve gone extinct long ago.

Residents in the surrounding areas were evacuated and several buildings were damaged on May 3 after the female firefighters initiated a prescribed burn that quickly escalated into an uncontrolled blaze.

How in the world did they manage to do that in early May in Banff? That's not just ordinary incompetence there.

showcase the "value" of "diversity"

"Diversity", as the concept is currently understood, has negative value,

I checked to see if this was a Babylon Bee article after reading the first paragraph. Nope. It appears this really happened. LOL

Well, they didn’t have to go through it because they hadn’t made it illegal to just whack anyone who annoyed you over the head with a blunt object yet.

Just gonna remark about that as well as the one that was started a few years back that got out of control and got into that nuclear facility.

They told that broad NOT to start that and she did anyways.

I wanna go back to 1950s America - peak America - before this diversity religion became the national religion. I hate these people.

Did they have to call in some masculine swinging...uh...swinging hoses to help battle the fire?

In the early ‘80s I spent my summers fighting fires in British Columbia. One year I got hired onto the biggest fire of the year near the small town Canal Flats, not too far from Banff.

A couple of days after my arrival the fire bosses decided a back burn was in order. By sheer chance I walked by the truck they were loading with equipment and one of them said to me, “Hey, you, jump in the back.”

We drove into an area untouched by fire and they strapped a piss-can filled with diesel to me, lit the nozzle and said, “Walk that way about a hundred yards and come back.” I did so and we headed back down the mountain.

The wind chose not to cooperate. Within 48 hours the fire doubled in size.

Again by sheer chance, when the two fires merged I was being moved in a helicopter at about 1000 ft. and a couple of miles from the merge point. I had the perfect view of something few people have seen.

I had read about the firestorm in Dresdan during the war but I never expected to see one. A tornado of fire at least 2,000 ft. tall. Entire trees, root systems intact, were sucked up into it and incinerated, I saw none of them return to the ground.

And my hands had caused it. Not my decisions, but my hands.

I know that females spit fire at each other when they’re mad, but this is too much.

That one was started by a Park Ranger, Roy Weaver.

Banff is an amazing area.

If they banned leftists it would be close to perfection.

Looks like they are going to have to get some transgendered women on that fire team to add some competence and strength

Good idea.
