My friend @TanyaTalaga has written a must-read piece on Canada’s wildfire failures and the need for a public inquiry. I’d add: community runways are 3,500 ft, they need to be 5,000 ft and paved. This is central to the crisis. Read her full piece here: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Opinion: Canada is not working together to confront the wildfire crisis

A public inquiry into forest fires is needed to understand how our governments can deal with such disasters moving ahead – particularly for Indigenous communities on the front lines
