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.”
With thick smoke blanketing cities across North America, various politicians in the Liberal government also appeared to put the blame solely on climate change.

I just filled out the number of residents as it is starred and then just kept hitting next until the end. Had a 15 minute timer and it took me 15 minutes. Could leave comments but by then out of time and patience. 🤮"
Imagine my surprise when a census worker showed up at my door yesterday because I hadn't done. She knew I had the long form and had it with her for us to complete and I told her when and where I filled out, even approximate time of day, and she asked for confirmation code so went to work trying to find. When you are rushed naturally can't find so said that I couldn't find. Found as soon as she got back to her car and showed her before she drove off. I can't hate this country enough as I know that because I only ...
