His family’s home, along with many others in the oceanside area in Los Angeles, was reduced to rubble by an enormous fire that officials say has killed at least nine people and damaged or destroyed about 5,000 structures. “It was surreal. It was like (the fire) picked and chose which houses were taken,” Humby said. “A whole neigh- bourhood is gone. I don’t think that it’s sunk in yet.” Humby, a Hollywood stuntman and actor, and a former kickboxing and Muay Thai world champion, likened the scene to a movie. Escorted by police, he drove past mounds of scorched rubble, where homes once stood, and shells of burnt- out cars while a plume of dark smoke lingered overhead Jan. 9, two days af- ter his family’s condominium was de- stroyed. Humby and his wife, Sonja, were emotional while they surveyed the charred remains of the only home their daughters, ages 12 and 14, have known. Within the rubble, they recovered a ceramic bowl that was in a dishwash- er in their kitchen before that floor collapsed into a garage. Humby was incredulous. “It was like, ‘All right, at least we’ve got something,’” he said. A tomato plant that was planted by one of his daughters somehow survived the disaster. Humby, born in the northern Mani- toba community of Gillam and raised in Winnipeg, moved to Los Angeles in 1996 to further his professional kick- boxing career. He broke barriers in that sport and Muay Thai, competing with a right arm that was amputated below the elbow at birth because it was entangled in his umbilical cord. These days, Humby is a road man- ager for boxing legend Sugar Ray Leon- ard. They were in Dublin, Ireland, for a speaking appearance when the Pali- sades fire started the morning of Jan. 7. Humby’s wife and children were not home when flames swept into their neighbourhood. A neighbour rescued the family’s dog. “I was thankful my kids were safe, my wife was safe and the dog was safe,” said Humby, who returned home Jan. 9. “We can replace all that stuff. As long as we’re safe, that’s all that matters.” Others weren’t so fortunate. Humby knows people who’ve lost friends in wildfires that have been raging in the Los Angeles area. His wife tried to reach their home before it was destroyed, but Palisades Drive, the only road in and out, was blocked by cars abandoned by drivers who got stuck in traffic gridlock while fleeing. Former Winnipeg resident Rhos Dyke got caught in a jam on the same hillside road about 90 minutes after the fire started. His decision to leave came before an official evacuation order and after he watched helicopters dump water on the wind-blown fire. Dyke described scenes of panic as motorists drove the wrong way or over curbs in a bid to escape the traffic jam on Palisades Drive. Fire trucks went screaming past him while he waited in the jam. He eventually decided to head home, only to flee again when a mandatory evacuation notice was issued. Dyke said he zigzagged around fire- scorched cars that were abandoned on the road, while driving through a wall of smoke. “It was like a blizzard of black. I couldn’t see anything,” he said. “It was pretty spooky, leaving the neighbour- hood. It was a blizzard of fire.” The house where Dyke lives with his wife, Andrea, was spared by the fire, but they are unable to return. He is devastated for those who weren’t as fortunate. “Most of my friends have lost their homes, and I’m sick about it,” said Dyke, whose job in the tech industry took him to Los Angeles in 1986. The Manitoban, who spends his sum- mers at a cottage in Victoria Beach, has lived in the Palisades since 1996. Flames destroyed the Dykes’ former home, where they raised their three children. “That entire neighbourhood is gone,” said Dyke, who is temporarily staying with one of his sons. The cause of the Palisades fire — one of four in the Los Angeles area — is being investigated. The death toll from the wildfires was at least 25 as of Wed- nesday morning. Nine were attributed to the Palisades fire. Humby questioned elected officials’ preparedness or decisions leading up to the disaster. Firefighters could not use the Santa Ynez Reservoir, close to his home, as a water source because it was closed and empty, he noted. Humby, his wife and their daugh- ters are staying with his mother-in-law while they try to figure out what’s next for them. The couple, who thanked family and friends for support and donations, is filing an insurance claim but expect it will be a long time before homes are rebuilt. “It’s probably not a place we’re going back to,” Humby said. He said the wildfire delivered an im- portant lesson: prepare a kit or bag in case an emergency or disaster strikes. “You never know when something bad could happen,” Humby said. “This is, hopefully, once in a lifetime.” chris.kitching@freepress.mb.ca CHRIS KITCHING SUPPLIED Ex-Winnipegger Baxter Humby surveys what’s left of his Pacific Palisades, Calif., home after a massive wildfire scorched much of the neighbourhood. Federal minister of energy and natural resources warns of stateside price hikes American pain for no gain, Canada tells U.S. W ASHINGTON — Canada’s energy minister came to Wash- ington this week to warn U.S. lawmakers about president-elect Don- ald Trump’s tariffs threat on Canada: They’d inflict economic pain on Amer- icans, with higher prices and job losses. Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s min- ister of energy and natural resources, said he feels obligated to sound the alarm about inflationary risks being created by a president who was elected in large part on the promise of bringing prices down. “It will mean higher gas prices, it will mean higher food prices, it will mean higher natural gas prices for heating people’s homes,” he told The Associat- ed Press on Wednesday. “It will mean higher electricity prices. That’s not something Donald Trump campaigned on. He campaigned on actually re- ducing the price of energy.” Trump has threatened to impose sweeping 25 per cent tariffs on Canada as well as on Mexico. He’s also threat- ened tariffs on China and Europe, creat- ing a sense of uncertainty about wheth- er this is a negotiating ploy or a massive restructuring of U.S. foreign relations. Trump and his team in recent days have doubled down on his promise to impose tariffs on other nations and downplayed the risk of higher inflation. “In his first term, President Trump instituted tariffs that created jobs, spurred investment and resulted in no inflation,” said Karoline Leavitt, a transition spokesperson who is also the incoming White House press secretary. “President Trump will work quickly to fix and restore an economy that puts American workers first by re-shoring American jobs, lowering inflation, rais- ing real wages, lowering taxes, cutting regulations and unshackling American energy.” Canada is looking at putting retalia- tory tariffs on American orange juice, toilets and some steel products if Trump follows through with his threat. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term, Canada announced bil- lions of dollars in new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. The dispute never triggered broader inflation across the economy, even if it exacted higher costs for some. But by targeting America’s second largest trading partner after Mexico, Trump risks upending the markets for autos, lumber and oil — all of which could carry over quickly to consumers. “I do think that people just need to understand that we’re going down a path right now that will elevate the cost of liv- ing for people in the United States for no benefit,” Wilkinson said. “Zero benefit.” Wilkinson is considering a run to lead the Liberal Party in Canada after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation this month. He expects to make a decision at the end of the week. While Trump has said he would an- nounce tariffs immediately after taking the oath of office Monday, it’s still not publicly clear what that would entail. It’s possible he could announce intentions to put in tariffs, phase them in on a sched- ule or declare an economic emergency to justify higher taxes on imports. Trudeau said Wednesday “nothing is off the table” in responding to proposed tariffs, but no single region of the coun- try should bear the full brunt from that response. He held a five-hour meeting in Ottawa with the country’s premiers to discuss Trump’s threats. Though Trump has signalled a will- ingness to act on his own, Democrats are looking to place legislative guard- rails on his ambitions — a sign they take the kinds of scenarios being outlined by Canada, Mexico and others seriously. Reps. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., and Don Beyer, D-Va., introduced legis- lation Wednesday that would roll back the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president authority to impose sanctions on hostile foreign nations that pose an emergency threat to the U.S. DelBene said on a call with reporters to preview the legislation that Trump’s tariffs constitute a “nationwide sales tax on foreign goods that saddles fam- ilies with higher prices.” “This is the textbook definition of a trade war,” she said. Despite Trump’s claim the U.S doesn’t need Canada, a quarter of the oil Amer- ica consumes per day is from there. Wilkinson said that, in addition to con- sumer prices increasing, the U.S. could face job cuts in areas that process Can- adian energy products, including the Midwest and Gulf states. “If you don’t have access to Canadian gas, you can’t do that. The same is true with potash.” The threat from Canada comes as concerns over the impact of Trump’s tariff proposals on the U.S. economy and inflation mount in business board- rooms, on Wall Street trading floors and among Federal Reserve officials. The Fed has indicated it is worried tar- iffs could slightly lift U.S. inflation. Neel Kashkari, president of the Fed’s Minneapolis branch, said Wednesday that a one-time tariff imposed by the U.S. likely wouldn’t worsen inflation much in the long run. But once other countries retaliate, Kashkari said, the impact could worsen. “If there’s tit-for-tat, that becomes much more complicated to try to fore- cast, what is the imprint of that on ac- tual inflation going forward,” he said. Wilkinson said, “My focus is actually to try and get us away from the conver- sation on tariffs, which I would say is lose-lose.” — The Associated Press FATIMA HUSSEIN, JOSH BOAK AND CHRIS RUGABER ;
