250 Canadian wildfires out of control; Media reports mum on arsonists, forest management
World Tribune ^ | 7/2/2023

At least 500 active fires are burning around Canada, 257 of which are classified as “out of control,” according to the Canada Interagency Forest Fire Centre.

As a result, poor air quality in several areas of the U.S. has in recent days been a hot topic on social media and private conversations.

The fires have burned more than 8.1 million hectares, or around 20 million acres, across Canada. The country’s wildfire season typically peaks in late July or August.

According to major media, there is only one explanation for the fires — climate change. Similar themes have been heard in California where smoky skies have become an annual occurrence in late summer and autumn.

What about widespread reports of arson and poor forest management? Reporters are not curious. “The situation in Canada is similar to that in Australia, where green ideology and chronic government underfunding mean that the forests currently ablaze have not been managed properly for years,” according to New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.

“Warm and dry conditions are like kindling for wildfires. Much of Canada, like the rest of North America, has experienced record heat and drought recently as climate change continues to warm the planet,” CBS News declared on June 27 (a statement which has been pretty much repeated verbatim by most Big Media outlets.)

Occasionally, actual journalism is practiced and reports of a slew of arrests of arsonists make it into the mainstream, but are not surprisingly suppressed by Big Tech.

• The Edmonton Journal reported on May 4 that a 29-year-old man had been arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and charged with 10 counts of arson after a string of wildfires and blazes in and around Cold Lake.

• CBC reported on June 2 that RCMP in Pictou County, Nova Scotia, say they are investigating three fire scenes as arson cases.

The Mounties say they responded to a call of a structure fire on Highway 4 in Alma on Friday at 1:30 a.m. That fire was was extinguished by the local volunteer fire department, the report noted. About an hour later, a second fire was reported in Granton on Granton Abercrombie Road. RCMP say they learned a green bin had been set on fire. A third fire was reported a short time later in Mount William on Mount William Road. RCMP learned that recycling bags had been set on fire on the side of the road in that case.

The Mounties say their initial investigation determined all three fires were the result of arson.

• The Toronto Sun reported on June 7 that Quebec police are investigating the possibility that the smoke creating poor air quality in southern Ontario and making downtown Toronto skylines disappear may have been the result of arson.

“There is an investigation because the cause is suspect,” said Surtee de Quebec media officer Hugues Beaulieu.

Previous forest fires in places like Fort McMuray or in Nova Scotia are suspected to be caused by humans, the report said.

WorldTribune.com reported on June 8 that multiple arrests had been made in connection to the Canada fires.

Along with arson, many are attributing the fires to poor forest management by Canadian authorities. Critics say too few controlled burns are being performed to clear the forest of flammable surplus.

Thousands of Chinese coming across our southern border have intentions or instructions. This is an easy way to mess up the US climate and weather.

Some of the fires, especially in Quebec are in remote areas where typical forest management would be a challenge even in the best conditions. It’s also why fires in those areas are lower priority and not aggressively attacked.

10,000 years ago it was all under a mile of ice
No SUV’S back then.
The world is a YUUUGE place.

The US Population in 4per homes would fit in Texas.
The whole Worldwide population 4per homes and they’d fit in Australia.

Even Chernobyl has life all around it.

Human Arrogance is the real problem.

Death penalty is absolutely justified. But interrogation is needed first. Some of these wackos get deviant sexual pleasure watching coverage of these fires in the news, but others are linked to the global warming conspirators and that information needs to be extracted by any means necessary.

Also absent is any protest from the Climate Change Cultists. These fires are spewing tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases that certainly will move up the date of the predicted global warming apocalypse by months if not years. I expect the Pacific Ocean by Al Gores seaside mansion nearly hot enough for tea and the Obama’s on Martha’s Vineyard are having a seafood boil without need for a fire

Saw a Canadian leftist the other day on youtube (leftists pretty much all have "that look"....ugly/unwashed).

She(or whatever it calls itself) seemed....gleeful about it all.

The protests are all geared toward getting rid of bad forest management fossil fuels.

The global cabal brain-fornication was strong with this one.

Since the prevailing winds in Alaska are from the west we have been spared from all the smoke and haze. And due to our wetter than normal summer we aren’t having to deal with any major fires.

I have no doubt that some of the fire bugs are professionals who were paid to start these fires. Professionals would have the resources to march deep into the woods and set up an incendiary device run off a timer or some such thing. They could set up several of them here and there. They could be well out of the area before the devices went off. And they would likely never be caught.

Sounds like fun. I enjoy observing the suffering of the guilty. The really, really few times it happens.

You are probably right. Cell phones as triggers and distant communications with the bomb detonators is a modern terrorist method.

Media reports mum on arsonists, forest management

Keeping to the narrative, they are.

"Only you can prevent forest fires" is among the earliest baptism of the American public to federal gaslighting.

The quote is absolute BS. Utter propaganda. After over a century of horrible federal policy in both the US & Canada, many forests are LONG overdue for a good burn.

But you won't read or hear those words in the MSM...
