Doesn’t “depart Flin Flon” sound phony?
Like a Godzilla IV sequel where “pray for rain” was answered by school girls singing in unison and Godzilla arriving and then urinating on the fires to quickly put them out?
Two things: Flon Flon is the home town of Flyers great, Bobby Clarke.
Two: is it me or has Canada had a nasty wildfire that ultimately fouls American air quality in each of the past two summers?
Oh no! There goes some fishing trips!
Wow 😲
My wife was born and raised in Flin Flon. She’s definitely saddened, this looks like a repeat of what happened to Jasper and Red Deer in Alberta.
Dog River needs to stay vigilant.
Is this town sitting on a lithium deposit?
I just found out that Al Capp designed the town's statue of that character.
I wonder who set the fires so they can blame climate change?
Volcanogenic massive sulfide. Mostly copper and zinc mined, some gold and silver.
Good question.

It’s Canada, they’ll blame President Trump.
Most likely a commie antifa agitator.
“The town name is based on a character in a 1905 fantasy mining novel.”
Thanks, I was wondering about that. Flin Flon sounds more like a dog shampoo for poodles.
Flin Flon? These guys missed it:
There’s a province up in Canada that’s right next door to ours.
It’s called Saskatchewan.
And, uh, in that province there’s a small town, uh, where nothing much ever happens, called Saskatoon.
This is a tune about that town.
This is called “Runnin’ Back To Saskatoon”.

I wonder if this is still the same fire from last year or is this the new reality for Canada, new wildfires every year.
