Four solid days of rain in Alberta. But apparently it didn't put out the fires in the north/east region for the latest report says the fires are still burning, though rain did help to contain some of the fire.

And are making propaganda to get the oil business shut down. The fires were NOT due to the oil fields, but the oil fields were threatened and shut down because of the fire-- causing production to stop and the area to be evacuated. Thousands of people can't work because of the fires. Production has stopped due to the fires.
In this it's a great economic lose to Canada --
Now the green peace guys want to totally shut down the oil industry? Telling a lot of lies that it is the oil fields that are the problem.
It's forests that are burning and fueling the fire, not oil fields --
Then there are the "climate change" people.
They too are making mileage out of the fire.
