The Mayor recently asked politicians to put aside partisan squabbling and focus on building houses
The town of Jasper , Alta., was already short hundreds of homes before an out-of-control wildfire burned one-third of the buildings down in July. Post-fire, many more Jasper ites are living in RVs and hotel rooms, or have been forced to move outside the community.
“The people of Jasper are relying on us to get this housing in the ground,” Mr. Ireland said at the provincial news conference. “It is critical stuff – it cannot be delayed on the basis of factional sparring.” “It delays healing. It introduces fresh wounds and fosters division, precisely at a time when we need recovery and unity.”
“I know it’s hard for the Conservative Party to admit it, but we’re facing extreme weather events that we’ve never seen before, whether it’s forest fires, floods or tropical storms,” he said at a House of Commons committeeEmployment Minister Randy Boissonnault is the lone Alberta MP in the federal cabinet and has been given the job of coordinating the rebuild of Jasper.
