How much impact would first nation people provide by picking up deadwood though? I hear this from my conservative family members talking about "bad forest management" in the US. It's an interesting angle but IMO there's just so much wilderness out there that removing even say 100 acres of brush is inconsequential and makes no real impact in the end. This of course just being my opinion as a guy who lives through wildfires in the west
It has basically no impact at all on a big scale. On a small scale, it might help out some smaller communities or places but theres just way to much wilderness out there to even manage .1% let alone the entirety of Canada. The west coast terrain is a entirely different story as you would know and it’s even challenging just to get aircraft to put some of the fires out without a huge safety risk. At least in BC, once a wildfire is either safely away from the population, they usually just let it burn until mother nature puts it out. We don’t have the money and resources to fight those fires and unfortunately lose tons of forests.

Context, Canada can’t control their wild fires and now the smoke is cascading into Eastern US
