Daryl GibbSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This type of burn helps to get rid of a lot of the ground fuel
Sophie LuiHOST
The prescribed burns underway in the BC interior.
Sophie LuiHOST
Plus, the potentially staggering impact of wildfires in Canada if global temperatures continue to rise.
Sophie LuiHOST
Lower Similkameen Indian Band and BC Wildfire Service have partnered to restore an Indigenous practice aimed at mitigating wildfires.
Doug HolmesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If there's gonna be more of these large-scale evacuations in the future, which there's no reason to think there won't, you know, towns might need to think about having not just evacuation plans, but also plans for receiving evacuees, you know? I don't think most towns really have those kind of plans, so this might s- be something we have to think about in the future.
Sarah PentonHOST
In fact, another city in the BC interior is looking at just that.
Sarah PentonHOST
The BC government says it's considering a proposal to build a permanent center to house evacuees in Kamloops.
Sarah PentonHOST
Doug Holmes also wants the government to look at transportation routes.
Tobin DickHOST
Yeah.
Darren HebertGUEST
I started to teach part-time at a university in Kamloops in the BC interior, specifically to teach these hands-on courses that would meet an employer's need to do that.
Darren HebertGUEST
So it started there.
Darren HebertGUEST
And as I worked in consulting for many years too, that portfolio of courses then grew.
Iain BurnsHOST
But also just the way they throw people around.
Iain BurnsHOST
If you've been following David Eby and subscribing to his political philosophy over the years, you'd be completely persuaded of the idea that driving around in your car and turning your heating on if it's gas, if it's natural gas fed heating, that that is directly, immediately contributing to forest fires in the BC interior, you know, and Vancouver Island and things like that.
Iain BurnsHOST
There's like an obvious link.
Iain BurnsHOST
There's a link between you not driving and the forest fires not happening.
Eric GrenierHOST
down to like the 27% to 32% range in BC.
Eric GrenierHOST
So maybe we can quibble about whether the Liberals are really plus 50%, but the Conservatives do seem to be stuck somewhere around 30% in BC, which is a big problem for them because some of those seats in the BC interior, especially around the Okanagan, weren't won by big margins.
Eric GrenierHOST
I mean, the Liberals won Kelowna, but the other ones were pretty close.
Eric GrenierHOST
And I think a lot of those could flip over to the Liberals if there was an election today.
