Where Do Investigations Into 2023’s Arsons Amid Record Wildfires Stand?

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.”

FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
