The small village of Lytton in British Columbia hit the global media when it smashed Canada’s highest temperature record in June 2021, at 49.6C. Two days later, a wildfire burned the entire village to the ground

      Lytton isn’t very far from where the TransMountain pipeline is being constructed

    Never got a chance to see it before it burned, but have driven alongside it a couple times since (it’s right on BC Hwy 1). You’d be able to look down from the highway and see the whole thing, except that it’s cordoned off with slatted chainlink fence. What little I could see while driving by and peeking in the cracks was surreal.
