Brad Vrolijk 💬So sad to hear about the Jasper evacuation due to <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/wildfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildfires</a>. While I haven’t been there in years (live in Manitoba now), I went to Jasper almost yearly while growing up in Edmonton. Hope that everyone gets out safely and that the town can be spared.I also hope that Canadians see the wake-up call screaming at them loud and clear over the last few years: <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> is here and things are changing fast. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ABfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ABfire</a>
