The surrounding wildlife will construct a religion based on this "miracle".

Lucky they didn't have a "climate change" fire on their hands.
@scottw550 on October 28, 2023 4:23 am

This happened on the Bug Bunny Show.

Wiley Coyote parks his trailer load of fire crackers not quite on the side of the road. Roadrunner is driving the truck.

@KanadianRaven on October 28, 2023 5:21 am

Only in Canada, you say? 🤣👍
@carleynorthcoast1915 on October 28, 2023 5:37 am

This doesn't make sense: why would they be pointed upwards without any obstructions? What lit the fuses?
@beelzebobtheinnocent1659 on October 28, 2023 5:43 am

shut up and show the fireworks
@canadiantesladventure on October 28, 2023 5:57 am

One bottle rocket says this wasn't an accident

@MustyBastard on October 28, 2023 7:03 am

BC stands for "Bring Firework's"..
@CanadianDrifter777 on October 28, 2023 7:16 am

The best fireworks are during Carnaval in Mexico. Mazatlan. Amazing and a little dangerous. Very exciting!
@tonka904 on October 28, 2023 7:18 am

I'm surprised nobody pulled out lawn chairs and beer.
@jamiesmith397 on October 28, 2023 9:34 am

Illegal fireworks smuggled in from the states
@kjw79 on October 28, 2023 11:00 am

Scary, aggressive, and coming out of nowhere? Enjoy some fun!
@woodsplitter3578 on October 28, 2023 12:05 pm

It didn't start a forest fire? How strange.
@michaelkors6935 on October 28, 2023 1:17 pm

@jakearsenta2144 on October 28, 2023 4:43 pm

What’s going on in Canada these days?
@robhasenwinkle on October 28, 2023 9:05 pm

Right before fireworks become illegal, this happens. It is fortunate that this did not happen in the summer.
@craigsavarese8631 on October 28, 2023 10:09 pm

Police on scene: “Move along, nothing to see here.” 🤣
@prettyinpink8349 on October 28, 2023 11:18 pm

@vitalie96 on October 29, 2023 6:29 pm

I'd call this premature Christmas.
@koda3967 on October 29, 2023 10:09 pm

👀 Well… 🤷‍♀️ 😱 awesome…? 😁😁😁
@zs2597 on October 30, 2023 12:28 am

I wonder if the driver of that semi was one of the jabbed?
@raufus on October 30, 2023 1:25 pm

"It was loud and aggressive and coming out of nowhere"….actually, lady, it was coming out of the pickup truck.
@chrisalbright3599 on October 30, 2023 6:58 pm

This is an awesome show
@sparkuri on October 31, 2023 3:29 am

Awesome.
Hope dude is alright, and the authorities don't act too….'Trudeauan", toward him.
Enough has been lost, & I'm quite certain insurance will play no part in the matter.
Godspeed & recover well.
