    My dad said the quebec fire was started by someone tweeting to collect insurance on burning a a car or piece of farm equipment and the blaze got out of control, you heard anything like that?

    Only from climate change denying conspiracy nutbags.

            That’s the nature of modern day information now … we’re on our own and we have to be weary of anything and everything we read and watch because it’s all being manipulated

            My general rule of thumb is … if what you find instantly makes you feel hate, anger, anxiety or fear … especially towards a person or a people … then chances are it has already done its work … because someone is channeling your hate, anxiety, anger and fear to get you think and act in ways that will hurt others

            Always second guess everything you read and watch … never take it for face value without researching it first
