What caused over 400 separate wildfires in Canada?

[CrusaderFrank]

Why can't we sue the bastards for the cost of medical services for people who were impacted by the smoke in the U.S ? Did Canada fail to use reasonable concern for the environment that might be impacted by forest fires? Did they fail to manufacture and put fire fighting technology to work? Did they encourage or fail to arrest persons who might sabotage the areas? Does the political turmoil revolving around Quebec have any impact on the issue?

The smoke did not smell like a wood fire

Turdeau sent his eco-terrorists in to whip up more climate fear.

Holy shit!!
If that doesnt prove it was intentional I dont know what will!!

I will refrain from speculating about eco-terrorism (but 400 fires?). The primary reasons appear to be the same reasons the US has bad wildfire outbreaks. Dryer than normal conditions and long term forest mismanagement, allowing underbrush to build up and die on the forest floor.

Probably lightening strikes.

On a clear day with zero clouds?

Difficult to “maintain” millions of acres worth of remote forest

No they aren't allowed to remove it, I guess to save the planet. I'm working on clearing the under brush on my land.
