Canada wildfires: Thousands under evacuation orders across western provinces

While a bit of rain and cooler temperatures have given firefighters in Western Canada a slight reprieve, it has not been enough to dramatically change the overall wildfire situation in the region.

More than 800 blazes are burning across the country, with nearly half of them being in B.C. alone, according to Natural Resources Canada.

Global's Heather Yourex-West looks at which fires are still keeping thousands of Canadians out of their homes.

So no one has ever heard of a fireguard around critical infrastructure? Didn't we learn anything from Fort Mac, very sad!

[YoutubeCensorshipBlows]

Do not tell me that this isn’t a controlled fire! This was done on purpose!

[anyasviews]

Yet 3 years later, Lytton is still waiting for permits to rebuild.
Entire town was burned in 2021 and 3 or 4 homes have been replaced so far.

And the messed up part it they will spend less to help our own people than they send to other countries... pretty backward kind of crap...

Trees green buildings burnt, vehicles turned to slag…. Not a natural fire.

[kymchessall]

Cloud seeding and weather modification is responsible for all the fires

[seanwatt]

How is it possible to have a forest fire destroy a community within a forest yet the forest is still there?

CL-215 was designed for this purpose. Protect small towns CL-415 came later.

Where were they?

Aren’t w paying carbon tax to make sure this is better contained? Oh wait…NO THAT MONEY IS MISSING!

[rubiesmilo]

Getting rid of all thos pesky small communities. Cant build back there, I bet.

There would have been more support if the federal government wasnt totally inept and had listened to municipal and provincial government officials about how to handle wildfire planning years ago

Guilbeualt and friends playing with matches again.

I still feel sorry for Jasper Alberta cause i used to go there for holidays and camping and now it's all burned down from the forest fires🔥🔥

[kindcanadian]

Don't forget, those carbon taxes you've been paying haven't been used to prevent or help with this in any way. Also, steven guilbeult was in charge of that national parks managment.

[morgangentle]

What’s this now, is there new warnings in Alberta since jasper

[martymethuselah]

that teepee was made of Genuine Saskatchewan Sealskin binding

[blainclatworthy]

Why hasn't the Carbon taxes Paid, stopped all Fires?

[katkat]

Why are all the trees not Burt? Strange

[beausgaming]

The gov and province matched what canadians raised which is so pitiful

Vote 2025! Lib/NDP corrupt incompetence ends here! Vote people.
