      Misinformation

      That story has been featured in a lot of sources to back claims like yours.

      Press Progress did a feature on it recently.

      https://pressprogress.ca/far-right-website-true-north-is-spreading-deceptive-information-about-canadian-wildfires/

      Didn’t you notice the date of the article you’re citing?

      It’s from 2021 … two years ago and has nothing to do with the current forest fire season

          That’s the nature of modern day information now … we’re on our own and we have to be weary of anything and everything we read and watch because it’s all being manipulated

          My general rule of thumb is … if what you find instantly makes you feel hate, anger, anxiety or fear … especially towards a person or a people … then chances are it has already done its work … because someone is channeling your hate, anxiety, anger and fear to get you think and act in ways that will hurt others

          Always second guess everything you read and watch … never take it for face value without researching it first

      Yes it happens occasionally, but it’s very very rare.
