Look at all of the young people who, thanks to this parade, just increased their chances of lung problems in the future and well as long term due to the smoke. Our city has no leadership; shame on all of you at city hall and the Rotary Fest organizers.

Just a minute folks…Doug Ford is our premier. He is not the enemy. Donald Trump is! Today there is no help for fires and a 50% tariff imposed on Canadian products. Well now is the time to “elbows up” and hit Orange man with every thing we can. Cut off electricity, oil, critical minerals ,everything! Trump needs to be taught a lesson, that is what happens when you poke the bull.Come on Canada, are we just going to take this from him, I certainly hope not!

But terry originally voted for the measures that put us in this mess, and now thinks he can claim he’s getting us out of it?

My son-in-law is a forest firefighter. He works 19 days on, 2 days off in fire season. Super dangerous job, sometime even when it isn't the fire. A couple of years ago, they couldn't stay on site overnight to fight a fire because of a Polar Bear lingering in the area. They jump out of helicopters from 15 feet in the air with full equipment. Lug equipment through virgin forest to get to sites. Work in bug-infested swamps in extreme heat wearing PPE. They deserve all the pay they can get.

Nope instead he is putting another 50% tariff on us again what would we expect from an administration run by an orange clown

Many of these changes were proposed or previously enacted by the Harper Conservatives.Those things were then rejected and/or reversed by Trudeau’s Liberals ( which Sheehan was part of ).Now Sheehan wants us to believe that the Liberals care about crime and victimsThey are proposing things to paper over a system they broke in the first place.Don’t expect any kudos for that!

Not a fan of Trump at all, but he has a fantastic point in the fact we’ve never started experiencing drastic fires until the last 5 years roughly and we should be implementing a better preventative measures to not let fires out of control to the point half our country is maxxed out on the air quality index, something surely needs to change

Remember, some of these American good ol boys are toeing the D J Trump line. as they are part of his shenanigans and gong show. They have the same mentality of, "Mouth in motion, before mind in gear." Similar to their illustrious and delusional leader. Next time there is wildfires or ice storms in the USA....DO NOT SEND CANADIAN HELP. Do you see them helping us with the forest fires? No just their idiotic criticism for small minded minions.

If outside, news is recommending to wear 3m masks due to the unseen fine dangerous particles in our air.Not worth the risk going outdoors.

“Drivers are reminded that fresh line paint will permanently adhere to vehicles. To bad it doesn`t do the same on the roads !!!

It's a really valid question? Why was $140 million budgeted when last year it cost $270 million?

For all the baby boomers or older people who grew up in the Soo the air quality was never that great and for the people who worked in the plant community day still went on.

Coming from the man who cut so much funding to help fight these fires is also a "bit rich".

Why is everyone ignoring the obvious fact that most of the wildfires are in large inaccessible areas? It's not like we can just truck tons of equipment up north for where there are no roads.
