    Is environmental concern code for worried about starting a fire or for the possibility of their fire departments being depleted by fires in other areas? I wouldn't put it past them to try and avoid attaching the reason to the weather, wildfires, and the likelihood of both being very obvious symptoms of climate change. The oil and gas industry works hard and pumps lots of money into climate change disinformation. Don't want to spoil that by making links in the media.
    Also, it's interesting that everyone in the report was on one side of the discussion and were mainly made up of young guys would would likely vote the fire works continue even if they were standing directly under them covered in gas. Really gives the impression that everyone in the city agrees with the position that cancelling the fireworks was a bad thing which appears to be the message being presented. Not slanted at all.

    I am really getting sick of pandering to reconciliation and other woke nonsense. This is Canada we should celebrate it. You dont like it dont go. The majority should decide not a fringe. Stop living in the dam past

    It's offensive to the climate gods, we should take some boosters instead.

    Sure I can understand but it’s a cultural thing. So I disagree with that decision.

    They should have one of those drone shows instead. They're much more interesting to watch, make a lot less noise, don't run the risk of sparking fires, and if desired, an Indigenous component can be included in consultation with local knowledge keepers.
