685.000 were considered high risk.But as of 2016 this government has only dealt with 80,00

Is there a possibility that this is a metrics thing much like preventative medicine. i.e. it's easier to point to 'diseases cured' v.s. 'diseases avoided'

If the fire doesn't happen there is no way to say for certain that the money was put to good use. Basically take the 80,000 that are the highest priority, do those, and doddle on the rest putting the money toward other priorities.

and if the NDP hadn't been such bureaucratic morons they could have contained the pine beetle in one provincial park. I do agree that more should be done, but the other guys we have to vote for are even worse when it comes to forestry.

The other government will be flush with money once that whole LNG gold mine gets going.
