In tonight’s top story: It may be early in the season, but wildfires are already threatening communities in western and northern Canada. Alberta and British Columbia are battling more than 160 wildfires. But it’s two fires of note that are causing the most concern — a growing fire near Fort Nelson, B.C. and an out-of-control fire in Fort McMurray, Alta. Alissa Thibeault reports from B.C., where the Parker Lake blaze has more than doubled since Friday.

2500 dogs rescued , zero cats . Mans best friend Baby .
Why are Canadian reporters such fools! It’s new about Gaza like this that fuels the protesting. People fighting for the rights of terrorists. People just following the crowd instead of researching the truth
HUMAN CAUSED NOT A FUKIN BRANCH
Yeah they’re intentionally set , all starting conveniently near communities
Lol sure a fallen tree
May Love Peace Prevail in The World….
We've sadly seen all these suspicious, run-for -your-life fires year in and year out now. They come out of nowhere, cannot ever be contained and sometimes hit the same community more than once. like Ft. McMurray. Have they not burned out the oil people completely by now? What happened to the citizens in the Shuswap? Not a word.
If Trudeau considered the climate damage from forest fires, maybe he would get smart. He is too busy running off around the world with his jet plane pouring spent fuel into the upper atmosphere, meanwhile taxing us into poverty to change the climate. What a joke.
Food is not running out in Gaza . Israel supplies huge amounts and there is food galore.
here we go
C'mon people, how hard is it to pour water on your campfire after you're done? Jeez…
Man made arsons almost for sure!
"electronically charged particles" ?? I think half of particle physics is FOS but clearly electronically is incorrect.
getting my news from some indie lol mkay moving on
When you are mentioning Sikh leader Nijjar in your news, why aren't you saying Sikh students,who are accused for the murder? Why are you saying here Indian national?? See, both are Indian national by birth , but don't try to twist by saying different. We are Indian national here in Canada , not Punjabi, facing problems
Here we go….another Liberal summer.
The police should arrest the arsonists – I think they are doing a bad job. It’s hard for me to breathe, but what about the children and the sick? I don’t think there were high temperatures for the forests to catch fire. I would be silent like everyone else, but I love Canada, it saved my family from hunger and cold – when the Russian va-vars bombed us in Chechnya. It’s hard for me to choke – I’ll leave for a while if I have enough money. I think the enemies of Canada do not sleep.
Arson/terror season launched early this year! is it Antifa, our own government, or foreign military? Is there much real difference? And whatever happened to forest fires? remember when they were called FOREST FIRES, not wildfires? And people were allowed to fight fires themselves? Now they'll jail you and confiscate your property for trying to put out a fire before it spreads. I guess that messes with the Government's agenda.
And we should stay out of the Gaza conflict. Their war, not our war. Same with Ukraine. SAVE CANADA.
Thinks are happening for reasons!
Trudeau is at it again
Justin is introducing a downed power line tax to reduce downed power lines. He’s here to help us.
