I see stories, and hear admittedly heartwarming stories on CBC radio, about communities in #NovaScotia and #Alberta coming together during and after the #novascotiafire and #albertawildfires disasters & I feel exasperated. 🔥 I need #disasterpreparedness here in #Canada to be more than amateur charity! I need expert plans for how we will protect vulnerable communities from harm & support recoveries. 👨🏽‍🚒👩🏾‍⚕️
