you don’t have to delay your happiness until after everything in your life is perfect or fixed or whatever. you can enjoy it now, no matter how imperfect it may be.

Already 3.3 million hectares of land in Canada has been burning because of the extreme heat and dryness and it’s not even halfway through wildfires season. They’re actually predicting this will be the most destructive wildfire season in Canadian history. But most of what I’ve seen posted about these fires has to do with air quality. So I’ve decided to try and compile a list of resources to donate to help Canadians being affected at this time.

Alberta

The Red Cross which seems to have a donation page for most provinces. Both the Canadian and Alberta government will match each dollar of your donation.

Food Banks Alberta helping to feed those affected.

Disaster Aid Canada general help

Atlantic Canada

The Red Cross which if you donate to both the Canadian and the Nova Scotia government will match each dollar of your donation.

British Columbia

United Way BC supporting communities by giving them things such as food, mental health support, and shelter.

Food banks BC helping to feed those affected.

Canada as a whole

Unite for Change not directly donating to the fires but is working to make changes at a provincial and federal level to help fix the climate crisis which is directly making the fires worse.

Please tell me if you know of any other places taking donations to help either put out the fires or help the people affected. If any of these donation links are also donating to discriminatory policies or such like anti-trans legislation's please inform me so I can remove the link!

Quebec and Ontario links are especially wanted as I couldn't find anything for there and neither could my friend.

Here's some more organizations I've seen mentioned, by and for the indigenous communities that are being impacted:

Sorry to put your tags on blast but you’re absolutely right. I think the people on this site should care more about Canada past our yaoi hockey show and at least reblog posts like this in the coming months. Especially since this post was made because USAmericans on this site and elsewhere were joking about their air quality when we were having the worst wildfire season we’d ever seen.

Also sadly even though it is the wet season, fires have already began. People have already been warned to prepare to evacuate their homes in Alberta

MSN

So please tumblr. Pay attention to us

Reblogging this again cause rn Northern Ontario is on fire and it’s so bad that here in Southern Ontario miles away our air quality is at a very high risk and smells like smoke.

If anyone has any links specifically for Ontario please lmk as I couldn’t find any myself

If I see any USAmerican make a joke about the smoke/air quality because of our wildfires I’m blowing them up into a million pieces

Went outside, in a mask, to get my meds. I still couldn't breathe

And where's Doug Ford? In his fuckass cottage, ignoring his province

Sitting on the money he stole when he slashed the firefighting funds by MILLIONS

Fuck all of you who didn't vote him out of office
