Create a problem that didn’t exist, then play victim & try to force everyone to apologize to them when finally caught for making said problem in the first place.
Does this tactic sound eerie familiar to anyone else?

The grandstanding and cosplay were obvious to all of us. Danielle Smith and her team prioritized political optics over effective action during the 2024 Jasper fire. That is how her friend Kristi Noem does it and she wants bragging rights. #JasperFire #AlbertaPolitics #Ableg #abpoli #DanielleSmith

Every time people put up a fuss about evacuation orders, saying they are "too soon" or weren't really needed because the fire didn't wind up hitting town -- remember this. Thousand of lives likely saved by this decision. #bcwildfires #jasperfire www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
"Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland choked up Wednesday night, reflecting on how an evacuation order issued days ago may have saved thousands of lives, while an out-of-control wildfire burned his community. A wildfire had threatened the Alberta mountainside townsite for days from the south, but finally reached it in the evening. Ireland knew little more than the rest of the public Wednesday night about the damage toll, as flames consumed multiple buildings, including the Maligne Lodge and at least the grounds of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. "This is simply our community's worst nightmare," Ireland told CBC News. "People are the heartbeat of every community. The people have been saved and that is significant. We can find a way to rebuild. We can find each other to hug again, because we all got out."

Jasper is literally burning down and CBC Calgary and Edmonton TV are running syndicated Just For Laughs.

This is what happens after 40 years of cuts to Public Broadcasting by both Liberal and Tory governments. 😢

A year and a half after the July 2024 wildfire in Jasper, Canada, authors Fabian Caro and Camila Contreras trace how nature’s recovery depends on time, ecological balance, and informed stewardship.

Don’t miss their striking photos of a landscape reemerging. #JasperFire

The day Jasper burned July 2024.

Living in Calgary about 4 and a half hours southeast of Jasper.

The air was thick with smoke and ash, the smell was people's lives/homes up in flames.

The particulate ash; fell like a mid summer snowfall.

9/10 The situation raises memories of last summer's devastating wildfires that impacted several Alberta communities, most notably in Jasper National Park where much of the townsite was destroyed in late July 2024.

Some zoomed-in screenshots of the #JasperFire hotspots show that the fire to the south has surrounded Wabasso and burned portions of Edith Cavelle road and the Astoria River valley very close to Angel Glacier.

It appears to extend roughly to Mt Kerkeslin and has not gone much farther south.
Wildfire hotspots in the Athabasca and Icefields Parkway valley, surrounding and engulfing parts of the Wabasso campground (denoted by a series of thin white squiggles and loop-de-loops) along the Athabasca river. Most of this view of the valley is covered in wildfire hotspots with a small portion of area right along the river and highway remainign unburnt. A zoomed-in view of the Mt Edith Cavelle road branching off southwest and up-slope from Highway 93A. The beginning of Mt Edith Cavelle Road is a series of zigzag switchbacks to climb the steep incline and then a meandering route as it skirts the Astoria river, deeper in the valley and next to a cliff on the opposite shore. The southeast upslope area is all hotspot (the bottom right quadrant of this image) and some hotspot covers portions of the Mt Edith Cavell Road on a straight stretch. This is the upper section of Mt Edith Cavelle Rd, where it terminates in a parking lot near Cavelle Lake and the Mt Edith Cavelle hostel, near Angel Glacier (bottom left corner of the image. Hotspots stretch across much of the area that would be considered alpine meadow (a popular hiking area) and more of Mt Edith Cavelle Road and both sides of the adjacent streambed valley. Zoomed-in view of the southeastern extent of the fire hotspots along the Athabasca river valley and Icefields Parkway. Mount Hardisty and Mount Kerkeslin peaks are both nearly surrounded by fire hotspots (the eastern slopes of these mountains remain the least affected). Everything to the immediate west of the mountains is a hotspot.
