Fort McMurray Alberta

^^^^^
Was at The Who show here in Calgary last night. Rodger and Pete gave a nice shout out to the people of Fort Mac.
They also had some stuff on the screen backdrop about it after the opening act and during one song (forget which one)
Even Shaq gave a shout out on Facebook.
Over 60 million donated to the Red Cross. Amazing. I've thrown a few bucks towards more local charities. Red Cross is cutting a cheque for $600 per adult and $300 per child.
Also the provincial government is handing out some loaded up debit cards.
I talked with my friend today who lost her home. She started crying when I brought up all the support. It's just so overwhelming to her... Canadians are the best.
To EV, you are the man. Can't wait to hear the boots0 -
That was great!PJfanwillneverleave1 said:It was a nice shout out at the Quebec, Ottawa shows when Fort McMurray was mentioned.
EV stays in tune every city.
When things like this happends we shouldn't think so much about boundaries and countries, we need only to support each other. I agree with Brianlux.Post edited by Annafalk on0 -

And I doubt the oil sands are going anywhere ... It's a huge part of the Alberta economy and when oil prices rise again Fort Mac will ramp up production again.
Maybe some of you US folks that are so worried about out oil sands should concentrate on the fracking going on in your country ... Just sayin'
This thread was supposed to be about the Fort Mac fire and up to a point everyone had expressed concern and showed empathy for those who live there. Too bad that didn't work for you, Lukin. I'm surprised. This doesn't sound like you.
Sometimes this train just sucks coal dust. I'm done here.
Good thoughts still going out for the victims of the Fort Mac fire.
You made a comment about 'not going into the tar sands issue' that might have come across as a veiled jab to some.
I thought it was pretty benign in nature, but perhaps others saw it differently?

^^^^^^
It comes across like this -
"I can't stand that dirty Alberta oil, but I wish the best for those people." (As long as the new economy consists of a tourist trap which provides a horseback ride of burned out Beacon Hill)
Thank you Thank you (takes a bow)
I'll be here for three nights and please try the fish, it's amazing
I know Brian's view of the oil sands. He is entitled to it, it's a free country he lives in. I am entitled to my own as well
I guarantee you about 100 percent of those evacuees share my opinion.

you're probably right ... i remember when cross-country checkup with rex murphy went to fort mac ... basically, people were calling environmentalists non-human while people cheered ...1ThoughtKnown said:^^^^^^

But like every other thread, the flow of conversation naturally drifts into related, semi related, and completely unrelated topics at times.
This doesn't diminish the 'empathy' in any way. If it was only about empathy... 12 pages of 'Oh dear' could be reduced to the very first response that might have said, "This is the shits. Poor people" with nothing further necessary.
In all threads, there are some
comments I read, some I skim, some I support, some I am opposed to, and some I ignore. Do as you please with what contributors offer.
The alternative is everybody offering nothing and the forum being as vanilla as it could be."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

OK, here, as I see it, is the line of thinking of a few of you on this thread:
brianlux is outspoken on environmental issues and has elsewhere expressed negative feelings about the extraction and use of tar-sands oil. -->
The Fort Mac fire is a disaster for us Canadians and anyone who is against tar sands oil is against us and therefore has no concern for the plight of our people and no right to make comments about the fire in Alberta. -->
brianlux believes the people of Alberta "had it coming" with this fire because of his beliefs about tar sands oil.
Look, the logic here is broken and ludicrous. I have nowhere on this thread indicated anything but concern for the people and wildlife of Alberta. I have mentioned my own concerns about wildfires due to living in a fire sensitive area myself and thus am empathetic. I have expressed this empathy and extended my concern for the people of Alberta repeated in this thread. That some of you choose to ignore my concern and instead use me as a scape goat for your anger regarding the fire and let your broken logic lead you to believe I am antagonistic about this situation and the victims of the fire is your choice. I have not done that. You might want to look at your misplaced anger but if you're going to continue to misconstrue my statements here then maybe nothing I will say will stop you from doing that. I will consider any further belittling and misrepresentation of my words here to simply be bating and will not respond to you any further on this thread.

I'll speak to the moment by offering the following:
Earlier, you alluded to the tar sands 'in an off hand way'.
Lukin responded to that comment about fracking 'in an off hand way'.
Then you essentially chastised Lukin for disregarding the integrity of the thread- forgetting that his comment was in response to yours... and on we went.
Wtf? Have I missed something? How have we gone from a couple playful jabs to someone feeling as if they are under attack?"My brain's a good brain!"0 -
