19,000 or so people have evacuated due to the but about 1,600 have not left despite free flights out. I have trouble understanding why they are not being asked (made) to leave when they are non-essential workers. I have been listening to the news conferences and hoping someone asks the question (as I am not covering this.)

He talks about “winning” as though this is just a game. meanwhile our province is on fire. Burning oil and gas is heating the earth and people are dying and being displaced. Oil sands extraction is unsustainable. The Suncor board likely know this, so are squeezing out every last dollar they can until the music stops. Ghoulish business decisions.
