    1. Along with it’s fellow colonials, Australia with not a single day in the last 7 months without an emergency, fire, floods and covid. We DEMAND a reboot of the year

    1. Just like we will be laughing when Trudeau’s plan crashes and we will never have to live through another Trudeau in power

    2. Jesus and you want help from the feds and rest of the country. Quit the mindless hating, that might help.

    1. This attitude of hating on the rest of the country is getting old. Oil is just about free now. i would worry more about how this town can even survive.

  1. We were there for the fires! Scary as heck, now that we are back in NB, please stay safe my friends! This is devastating and with everything going on this makes it absolutely terrible!

  2. Why doesn’t this guy say the truth that the flood is the issue not covid 19 this mythical thought that canada is living in this covid war zone is crazy.

  3. Economic death, wild fires and there are giant sheets of ice in May, Maybe you shouldnt live there . Fort Mac is not a hospitable place, so let this be a sign it’s time to move.
