Guess nothern Albertans won't be becoming Flames fans any time soon

Makes sense, the team isn't exactly radiating appeal, most would probably prefer to watch the Oilers

The people face uncertainty
Their lives have been displaced
Others sprang into action
With little time to waste

We opened our hearts and arms
With food and a place to stay
Providing a little comfort
Hoping that they're ok

The responders face uncertainty
Trying to contain the fire
The weather isn't helping
The situation becoming more dire

Eventually it'll change
Into the fighters favour
They'll continue to battle
Their spirit will not waver

There is one certainty
Many challenges we'll face
Fort Mac will rise again
And that we can embrace

Smokey in cal? I think that's where you're at.

Gonna be 3bill+ of damage.


where did you get the 3b + number from ?

news said something like 350m

they didn't have million + $$ houses all up and down the streets no ?

if it's actually 3b + worth of damage holy fucking tits.

the richest canadian has only like 3b, would be intense.
would be a rich cunts net worth of damage.



/e

Price tag could be as high as $9B

BMO analyst Tom MacKinnon said if one assumes that if the ultimate damage can be limited to somewhere between a quarter and a half of all buildings being destroyed, the price tag to rebuild would be between $2.6 billion and $4.7 billion, based on the lessons of 2011.

"But since Fort McMurray is nearly 10 times the size of Slave Lake, a disaster of the same magnitude impacting nearly all of Fort McMurray [similar in the way that nearly all of Slave Lake was significantly impacted] could potentially lead to $9 billion in insured industry losses," he said.

That would make the disaster far and away the costliest disaster in Canadian history. Currently, the 1998 ice storms in Quebec that cost insurers almost $1.9 billion in today's dollars are the most expensive insurance event ever in Canada in inflation-adjusted terms, according to IDC's 2015 annual report.

Brutal.


news was stupid off.


this is by far the biggest disaster in canadian history.
Interesting.

The 100% votes are almost exclusively either completely random bloggers or Sony affiliates. And Naughty Dog has more fanboys than Apple, they could crap out a piece of shit and the reviewers would say it's the greatest thing ever.

"Compelling metaphor for a man breaking the chains of society to be himself."
"10/10 realistic graphics and smell."

I'm sure it's a great game but come on. The Uncharted series has some of the worst aiming controls of any game whatsoever, and 75% of it is cutscenes.

Every single game review site is being paid off by developers

Can never trust any of these ratings

It's like on Amazon. Bought my dog a new light up collar for early morning walks, found one where most of the reviews destroyed it because it worked for 3 days then wouldn't light up. But there were like 20 5-star reviews.
Every single one ended with "I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review."

(I think Amazon requires people to post that at the end if they got it for free or at a discount)
