Nice to see someone from BC writing here. Thanks for this report.
I drove through your beautiful area July 16 before the fire activity. We will definitely plan a longer future visit.
When did we lose the right to defend our own property?
When was the government granted responsibility for our personal safety?
I can’t speak for others but I certainly don’t want any inept government employee taking care of me. I’m an adult and perfectly capable of taking care of myself, my family and my property.
It is asinine to suggest that somehow an individual caring for their own property would hamper government efforts to combat the fires.
I think the level of incompetence is directly related to the level of accountability. None of these people are ever held accountable for anything.
There does come a time when the failures become so common one would tend to think that they are not actually failures but are indeed the desired result.
They changed how they view forest fires, they are now considered nature's way to manage the forest so they have drastically reduced the amount of forest management that was done before this policy and they also let the fires burn, and grow.
We have a national forest fire database that even shows since 2010 the amount of fires has been decreasing but the acreage burnt has increased, they changed the scale sometime between May 9 2023 and now so that it isn't so obvious I have a screenshot on that day that's how I know
In May of 2019 I took my kids to the Japanese internment camp museum, and similar to Jasper the locals even back then were warning that due to the amount of dead trees and fuel load if a fire started it would be hard to stop
can direct energy weapons via satellite/aircraft use drought conditions and electrical storm clouds as cover for nefarious habitat incineration? Again, fire mutilation of vehicles beside standing Green trees in Jasper film footage. All the days of spraying of the heavens prior to the storm. Someone explained that a lightening strike from the top of a storm cloud is a more incinerating force than from the bottom of a storm cloud. One storm track of thousands of strikes bears much fire fruit at the doorstep of community...evacuate..don't touch it. Someone owns that fire!
I'm just working on a new article about the chemtrails and ionospheric heaters being used as weather weapons. I'm not well versed in the Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) technology but have certainly read about it. What does seem suspicious to me is that the two most popular tourist destinations in Valhalla Park, Nemo Creek and Wee Sandy Creek, are now incinerated and will be closed to the public for years to come, effectively sabotaging our small community's economy.
Yes. Another land grab. Part of the NWO is to seize rural lands and force people into 'smart' cities where they can surveil them 24-7 and try to force them into an all digital system where everything will be monitored and they can shut you out of your own bank account if you don't 'behave.' It's the most evil thing I've seen in this lifetime. The kicker is, these reprobates have no love or respect for the land or anyone on it - human or other. It's psychotic. Keep writing these articles, Sean - your voice is needed. I'm beyond sad for your communities up there.
yep...We are The prey>>>New World Order...One world gov't ..wake -up people .Forest fires erase history = the great reset. They have burned cities down for centuries for each reset
Good point! History is indeed full of rampaging maniacs who see themselves as gods or emperors creating a swath of destruction in pursuit of their agendas.
I promised this information on the phone when you were in Nelson a few days ago. Well, here is just a large sample of information an educational journey
This company could have had this fire out over 2 wks ago if government would be interested in saving trees, wildlife, peoples' investments........however, they want to move us into their idea of where they want us to be https://www.firefoxwildfire.com/
Highway 3 bisects one of the most ecologically significant regions in southern Canada. The Elk Valley, and the East Kootenay region generally, is a core part of the Crown of the Continent ecosystem, one of just two areas where grizzlies and other wide-ranging species can move back and forth between Canada and the United States. That makes it a critical north-south chokepoint in the Yellowstone to Yukon region, a key wildlife corridor that runs 3,200 kilometres from north to south, spanning two Canadian territories, two provinces and five U.S. states. https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/animal-crossing-reconnecting-north-americas-most-important-wildlife-corridor/
Canada is NOT the only place in the world for this taking place. Do they need to eliminate people off land for this?? I am not against habitat restoration however, government is the first destructive force of this. Take the Cocohalla Hwy. Straight through the highland. I remember when the female moose was trying to come down thru her normal migratory way to the lowlands because a winter storm was coming and killed herself against a fence trying to save her young one. Aired on CTV in the 80's. Or how about the highway between Merritt and Ashcroft. Cominco mine as well as ….......... The river looks like waters of the Caribbean, water is toxic, my girlfriend in Merritt told me how they found dead bird and animals, earth dam was leaking 2 years ago and they were trying to contain it without success ….it had already be going on for a long while....heading to Ashcroft and then into the Thompson River......I saw it with my own eyes...The Highland Valley Copper mine is the largest open-pit copper mine in Canada, located near Logan Lake, British Columbia. It is an amalgamation of three historic mining operations: Bethlehem, Lornex and Highmont. Wikipedia There is very little wildlife and what there is are sickly, full of ticks.......do not touch or walk on the grass.
This website will reveal the complicity and illegality of BC, Feds, HRH in the water wars. Lots of information and I have spent much time in here several yrs ago and recently.
The Grand Canal project.........a list pf pages in a search engine to check out the 4th link on the page, it tells all by saying it is continuing so......this has been going on for quite some time much to all of our ignorance of the governments.
The Construction of the Grand Canal...how China has diverted water from surrounding countries and caused problem for them. Tthe construction of the grand canal
I must say - I have to tell a true story here - on Wednesday afternoon we arrived in Silverton after seeing many fires across the lake had popped up spreading the Nemo creek fire even further north along the lake shore threatening the homes under Valhalla Park.
On Main Street we found a lot of folks standing in front of the general store & SBS - one of those people was Jamie Barber.
He was not arrested but standing there with everyone - in the next moment the RCMP stopped and pulled up & Sheldon (RCMP) walked up to Jamie and said “Jamie I have something for you “ we all turned as another RCMP officer had just pulled up driving Jamie Barber’s truck towing a trailer loaded with 2 quads & a whole lot more than that. We got your truck Jamie!
Jamie nearly fell down crying and was saying “omg thank you!! I don’t want to shake your hand I want to hug you both- I’m so sorry I will have my wife correct the post about the arrest & I’m just so thankful! “!
So where is this story? Jamie was never arrested, Jamie got his truck and quads and a bunch of stuff rescued by the RCMP, Jamie was happy & thankful.
In times like these- we need to help where & when we can & work together to support the community, the fire fighters, the loggers, the volunteers & the RCMP who are trying their hardest to protect our communities- rather than constantly spinning the conspiracy theories of negativity and not sharing the positive stories of what is actually true.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you tried doing that Art?! What exactly are you doing to help the community other than writing negative fiction about it?
Further to my other comment, how do we learn if we don't criticize? If all we do is praise, no matter how bad things are mishandled, nothing ever changes. Yes, of course, we must support those courageous souls who fight fires for us. But it's the policy level that must be constantly examined and criticized—the administration level. My father worked for BC Forest Service for 37 years and had a perfect safety record. Best practices in firefighting that had been established over most of a century have been abandoned for an approach that clearly is not working. That is fact and my father's record is testimony to it.
Thanks for the update on Jamie's story. That's great news! However, I am not writing fiction. I've been devoting hours and hours daily, listening to people tell me their stories of evacuation firsthand, taking notes and then writing articles, all unpaid. I'm hearing other reports from the lower valley of people having their ponds drained and sprinklers turned off by fire chiefs. Are they lying? Why? What would be the point of lying about that? As a reporter I can only accept peoples' word, especially if it's impossible to go and physically verify the situation, as in this case where Highway 6 is closed. Yes, there is some speculation about the larger agenda, admittedly, but it too is not based on pure fantasy but about wider geopolitical research over the past several years. How could it be that there's so much incompetence in fighting fires in BC that the situation lasts 7 years—since the Chilcotin fires that almost burned my parents out—without any course correction? Just ask yourself that question.
It's understandable to feel alarmed by the stressful and chaotic circumstances surrounding the wildfires in the Slocan Valley. However, it's important to approach the situation with a level-headed perspective. The assertions of deliberate harm or conspiracies by authorities lack substantial evidence and can exacerbate fear and mistrust in a time when cooperation is crucial.
Authorities and emergency responders are working under extremely difficult conditions, often making tough decisions to prioritize safety and resource allocation. While it’s essential to address and rectify any instances of mismanagement or poor communication, attributing these actions to a larger, unfounded conspiracy is not productive.
Instead, let’s focus on constructive dialogue, transparency, and collaboration with emergency services to improve responses and support affected communities. Misinformation can hinder these efforts and create unnecessary panic, detracting from the collective goal of overcoming the crisis. Stay safe, good peeps.
You might ask then why communication with the public has been so poor? You might ask why this incompetence in fighting fires in BC has been ongoing for at least 7 years now since the Chilcotin fires that nearly burned out my parents? You might ask why I'm hearing reports that fire chiefs have gone onto peoples' properties, drained their ponds and shut off their sprinkler systems? Admittedly we can't know with certainty the larger agenda but there have been plenty of indications of malfeasance since the mishandling of the Covid "epidemic," and I have the research to prove it. People have been lied to consistently for at least the past four years so the lack of trust is understandable and all from one direction, not from the public. The government has been the chief source of misinformation for some time now and that is easy to prove.
Ah, yes, the grand pond-draining, sprinkler-shutting conspiracy! Clearly, the authorities are masterminding the ultimate plan to keep us all on our toes. Forget the complexities of wildfire management and the logistical nightmares; it's much more entertaining to imagine them plotting behind the scenes.
Maybe, just maybe, you can put your cork board and string away. Perhaps the perceived poor communication and incompetence are more about the sheer chaos of managing wildfires and public health crises than a coordinated effort to deceive us. But hey, a good conspiracy theory does make for a more thrilling story! Stay safe buddy.
Mockery as a tool of rebuttal only cheapens any argument and makes it immediately suspect. I'm basing what I'm saying on: 1) eyewitness testimony of residents reporting the draining of ponds on their own properties: why do you assume they're lying? 2) a century of best practices in forest fire management that clearly has been thrown out, with the new approach clearly not working; and 3) research resources you're welcome to check if you can be bothered.
You bring up valid points, but the conclusions you draw from them aren't exactly helpful or factual.
Eyewitness testimony: Sure, let's take every high-stress anecdote at face value. Because perceptions are never skewed under pressure, right? Eyewitness reports are valuable, but they need corroboration to ensure we're not just spinning tales.
Best practices: What seems like a departure from traditional practices could actually be adaptations to new challenges. But hey, why consider the complexities when we can just declare everything a failure?
Research resources: I'd love to see these sources of yours. Reliable, peer-reviewed studies can help separate fact from fiction. (YouTube doesn’t count.) So, by all means, please share some real data instead of speculative theories and your creative writing skills. Stay safe.
Granted, stress causes unusual reactions. But I think people can trust the evidence of their eyes, though this too is part of the new social conditioning, to foster cognitive dissonance.
As to my references, as you'd see if you paid attention, they are all at the bottom of every Substack article, often 20 or more per article.
As to reports critical of the current regime of firefighting, there has been plenty. The 2017 Chilcotin First Nations report. The Jim Cooperman petition and presentation to Thompson Rivers University last year. Before that, the Gary Filmon Firestorm report. Don't blame me if you're too lazy to seek them out and read them.
well done! Thank you for writing these eloquent articles. I put that petition link on my facebook wall and hope that people share, since I don't have tons of 'friends' there. I hope the rain and calm are helping a little bit up there.
Nice to see someone from BC writing here. Thanks for this report.
I drove through your beautiful area July 16 before the fire activity. We will definitely plan a longer future visit.
When did we lose the right to defend our own property?
When was the government granted responsibility for our personal safety?
I can’t speak for others but I certainly don’t want any inept government employee taking care of me. I’m an adult and perfectly capable of taking care of myself, my family and my property.
It is asinine to suggest that somehow an individual caring for their own property would hamper government efforts to combat the fires.
I think the level of incompetence is directly related to the level of accountability. None of these people are ever held accountable for anything.
There does come a time when the failures become so common one would tend to think that they are not actually failures but are indeed the desired result.
This is the policy where it all changed, back in 2010, it started in BC but the entire country has adopted it
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/public-safety-and-emergency-services/wildfire-status/governance/bcws_wildland_fire_mngmt_strategy.pdf
They changed how they view forest fires, they are now considered nature's way to manage the forest so they have drastically reduced the amount of forest management that was done before this policy and they also let the fires burn, and grow.
We have a national forest fire database that even shows since 2010 the amount of fires has been decreasing but the acreage burnt has increased, they changed the scale sometime between May 9 2023 and now so that it isn't so obvious I have a screenshot on that day that's how I know

This is 100% due to government policy
Thanks very much for the useful resources!
Excellent reporting and Yes, there is much to speculate about.
