White people: I Fucking Needed This. [Sucks air in through teeth] Fuck.

oh…. why thank you!!

Fires have been suppressed in our boreal forests by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for decades, despite traditional practices by the Anishinaabeg. The benefits of controlled burns in a disturbance-based ecosystem regime like the boreal cannot be understated, but it's too late. By the time the Ministry understood the truth behind what Indigenous peoples have been telling us, decades of fire suppression has built up absurd amounts of dead brush just waiting to light. And of course those Indigenous communities are feeling the brunt of the consequences. The sky has been red, sickly yellow, or filled with smoke here where I live, and it is likely to continue this way as the Ministry fights fires that are long overdue.
