Letter: PYROMANIACS

Just wondering if all pyromaniacs live in Alberta and BC. I believe Saskatchewan has as much forest as the other provinces, but they don’t seem to have any wildfires. Maybe these are just make-work projects or a good way to help clean up some land. I’ve heard it’s a good way to rejuvenate a forest because it cleans up all the deadfall and debris and gives it a new start. Unfortunately, it is pretty hard on towns and villages or any other structures in its way, let alone all the wildlife affected in those areas. But El Wacko says not to worry because he will stop the wildfires with his “Carbon Tax.”
