MODERATORS
We need more funding and action to prevent this for sure. Climate change isn't going anywhere anytime soon so this will become more and more the norm.
I'm going camping this weekend and it's gonna suck not being able to have a fire.
Its worst wildfire season of the 21st century so far.
77 more years to go!
My dad said the quebec fire was started by someone tweeting to collect insurance on burning a a car or piece of farm equipment and the blaze got out of control, you heard anything like that?
There's not just a single fire. There were over 130 in Quebec alone as of two days ago, most of which were started by lightning strikes.
I think the problem is the undergrowth, Canada is very sparsely populated so it’s not like they’re really clearing out the forest so to say, that way, when lightning does strike has plenty of kindling to keep the fires is going
The bigger problem is the hotter and dryer conditions.

Only from climate change denying conspiracy nutbags.
After reading your comment i was intrigued and found this on the subject, basically woman in Alberta charged with 32 counts of arson after wildfire investigation. I will link story below

Misinformation
That story has been featured in a lot of sources to back claims like yours.
Press Progress did a feature on it recently.
Didn't you notice the date of the article you're citing?
It's from 2021 ..... two years ago and has nothing to do with the current forest fire season
