Always shitty when fires are so close to communities. I was just talking to someone about how many people that live there lived there their entire lives - some of them (the older ones) don't speak English. This is all they know.
The 2000 people left town 2 days ago and went mostly to Yellowknife and Fort Providence.
I'm interested what you spend your money on that's so Carbon Tax heavy. I live super far North, use 6000l oil to heat my home every year and the rebate I get would cover around 11000l of oil. So 50% of the annual rebate (it's 4 payments per year btw) covers my heating, and 50% covers driving and indirect costs. I also take advantage of grants and rebates for upgrading my home where I can (I don't know if they are funded from Carbon Tax though).
