VICTORIA — The wildfire that has been rampaging through the Shuswap region of the B.C.
Interior has also sparked a fight over whether local Opposition MLAs have been encouraging residents to disobey firefighters, or if the government is refusing to listen to critics of its response to the fires.
"People elect MLAs in various areas of the province to be their voices, especially in a time of crisis and worry," said Peter Milobar, BC United finance critic who represents a Kamloops riding. Milobar said he and his colleagues"weren't politicizing" and instead were"conveying exactly what we were hearing on the ground."
In recent days, North Shuswap residents with firefighting skills have indeed been recruited to work with government firefighters in the area, BC Wildfire Service officials said. But Dean Pogas, director of communications for the BC and Yukon Red Cross, said in a statement that “no personal donation information has been provided, or will be provided, to the BC United party.”
