Amazing isn't it? Last week we had around the clock coverage of the blackout in Eastern Canada and the States. Here in British Columbia we have the worst forest fires going on in over 75 years..but we barely rate a footnote in the news. We have over 870 fires raging right now. Forty thousand people have been evacuated from their homes, and one complete subdivision in the city of Kelowna has been destroyed, five others are now in danger too. Is it any wonder that the people living in the Western part of the country feel alienated when this sort of thing is only noted in passing... and we're still hearing about the blackout ad nauseum?
