Talk about scorched earth.

They don't like to talk about that.

Gotta agree :/

Power companies lean on local governments to misidentify the causes when it's them too, as they are actively doing with the LA CA fires. It's often power lines causing the fires, but they might scour social media and the internets with their ai program to find some kid that was in the area around that time that had any comment they could use to blame him. They blamed a kid that was in the area like a week before, that had prompted ai for a fake wildfire picture. Claimed the fire must have started, then went underground for a week or whatever.

Pretty incredible assumption given the power lines were seen sparking, in that wind. As always in this country, you can't trust authorities, it could be they are right, or it could be the powerful utility used their influence to blame it on some poor kid that made an ill timed prompt. Given there was no fire reported the week when the kid was there, as I understand it, no evidence of him doing anything with fire, does not speak well to their credibility if you ask me.

Considering what we know about PGE, the power company, the very same the movie Erin Brokavich was about, that knowlingly poisoned populations just to keep using a particular cleaner in their operations, not even a good reason. Or that started numerous other wild fires in the area prior.

More people in the forest. Most of Canada lives near the border so you get lots of forest and more of fires far away from humans. The US is more dispersed.

Creme brulee torches all use butane, did you mean to say propane?

Dibs on your team for post-apocalyptic wasteland raiding.

Don't you start planting ideas I'll regret later.

Oh heavens no, the cursed devils pollen. /S

I like the idea that Google can lose copyright over the verb "to google" if people keep misusing it. So just google it with your favourite search engine if you don't like Google, screw em ;)
