I don't know what type of situation qualifies for a State of Emergency but obviously the criteria was written by an educated fool or fools. We know that Fort McMurray has been ridiculed for its entire existence but for all levels of government to ignore our dire circumstances is beyond comprehension. I worked for the Federal Government and the NL provincial government for a combined 16 years. I've seen some very questionable rules given to us over the years but have never witnessed such disregard for a town's residents and their properties. I know the fire isn't their fault but their response time (or lack of) has shed a whole new light on all political levels. I will be seriously considering not exercising my right to vote during another election. What's the point!! They're all alike. The decisions of our major political leaders in the wake of this disaster is atrocious to say the least. This situation required immediate action not discussions whether to act. So much devastation could have been avoided. Completely shameful.
