With two arson charges already laid following Canada’s worst wildfire season on record in 2023, police say more investigations are continuing in provinces across the country, with several focused on Alberta specifically.
Alberta RCMP say 13 arson-related charges have been laid following investigations by the RCMP Forestry Crimes Unit and Alberta RCMP. Two larger-scale investigations from 2023 are being reviewed by the Crown.
There are also “a number of open investigations currently being investigated,” Alberta RCMP media relations manager Fraser Logan told The Epoch Times by email on Jan. 24.
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) says the 2023 wildfire season in Canada was “the most devastating in recent history.” By the end of the season, “more than 6,500 fires had burned a total of 18.4 million hectares (more than seven times the 10-year average of 2.5 million),” NRCan communications adviser Shireen Ali told The Epoch Times in an emailed response on Feb. 2.
Ms. Ali noted that over 235,000 Canadians were evacuated from their homes and communities and that “unusually high temperatures and prolonged periods of drought across the country, largely due to climate change, created the perfect conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread rapidly.”
With thick smoke blanketing cities across North America, various politicians in the Liberal government also appeared to put the blame solely on climate change.

Berta Dad nailed it. Copied from FB.
Jeff Rath’s behaviour toward Danielle Smith is not a good look for this movement, and he does not speak for me.
When this started, I had respect for him. But as this has played out, it has become harder to ignore what appears to be a push for power inside the movement, not a sincere focus on Alberta independence.
Danielle Smith is a major reason Albertans were even able to collect signatures in the first place. Compared to any other premier in this country, I believe she has been the strongest one standing up for her province.
I will not forget her accomplishments.
She stood up for parental rights when others wanted schools keeping parents in the dark.
She took action against political ideology being pushed in classrooms.
She made sure kids got back to school when the system tried to hold families hostage.
She has strengthened Alberta Sheriffs and continued exploring ways to free Alberta from relying on the RCMP.
And that is only part of it.

WEF/UN/Globalists have proven they can’t be trusted now given the key to Canada. Are you awake yet Canadians??
REPORT: UN Climate Scientists Flip on the Climate Doomsday Narrative | Stand on Guard CLIP
WATCH Have they been lying about climate change this whole time? Are they cancelling climate change doomsday scenario for the data centers?
The UN climate scientists admit the high emission doomsday scenarios were overblown. UN climate change scientists flip: climate change not too bad anymore according to a new report. No doomsday on the horizon.
On this Stand on Guard clip, we question why the UN might be backtracking on previous dire predictions, suggesting a new agenda at play. We examine how this shift could be tied to the proliferation of data center construction and the increasing demands on our power grid from artificial intelligence. It's crucial to consider the broader implications for our communities and hold big tech accountable.

Listening to Ganum today on the meeting that Premier Smith is having with Lukasek I am wondering why not just have his referendum on the vote in October? If enough say no to his question isn't it the same as a referendum that the other side wants? I for one want this to wake up the East and don't care how it happens. Another caller said she needs to call an provincial election in October and take the rest of questions off the ballot - this could be risky but I am leaning toward it as terrified that the NDP will get in again and right now Nemshi is their handicap IMHO.
