  • Not really, personally I and a lot of Europeans hold the belief that in order for anything to be done you actually need to be doing those things.

    Not just Europeans on this team. Watching from Canada and being told nothing can be done but a street march on a sunny Saturday while our own governing schmucks start instituting laws to appease and move our country toward fascism on the lead of the fuckers south of us, is god damn terrifying.

    I won’t be silent about it either. About 'murica or Canada. 'muricuns are letting a fascist dictator control them and affect lots of others around the world. Canadians are allowing our PM to do the same just much slower and with more smiles and handshakes.
















  • I worked as the director of health for a major kids camp in Canada for a long while. This phone call would have come to me at our camp. We had almost 1000 people across three sites in our summer camp then. Only three people on each site had phones permanently but I guarantee this would have been responded to immediately. Evacuation plans in place and reviews and updates for them every year. I received emergency calls all the time. Day and night.

    I guess what I’m getting at is there shouldn’t have been that many people in one place without Evac plans, having practiced them and someone who answers an emergency line 24 hours a day who has experience and knowledge in emergency situations. An hour warning is more than enough time to evac this small a camp if you are prepared.

    Not just the state and weather are to blame for this tragedy. The camp needs to bear just as much responsibility. They’ve taken on these children with the responsibility to care for and protect them. They didn’t do that.
