Massive wildfires have rapidly spread across the Canadian province of Quebec, fueled by dry and hot weather conditions and multiple lightning strikes. The number of fires escalated from 36 to over 100 following a thunderstorm on June 1st, catching authorities off guard. As of Thursday, that massive conflagration has gotten worse. Much, much worse. And the flames are spreading.
Trace Gallagher of Fox News gave a sobering update on Thursday about the unprecedented scale of the wildfires in Canada, which have ravaged through the forested countryside and has dealt severe damage to air quality throughout the northeast.
While most fires in the Western provinces are under control, the fires have now opened new fronts spreading to eastern provinces of Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario. Right now, there are 437 active fires with about 250 out-of-control. About 26,000 Canadians have evacuated their homes because of the fires. And experts say the hazardous conditions in New York City are the worst on record.”

Al Vanchon - “If you haven’t heard the latest up here in Canada, BC’s on fire, the East Coast is on fire, and now Quebec,” he said. “Quebec all in one day, the entire province caught fire on a beautiful day.”
“This is planned, and I’ll tell you why it’s planned,” he continued. “They want to move people out of the countryside, into cities, then they want to lock ’em down in 15 minutes cities. How do you do that? Contaminate the air, contaminate the water, and so on.”
“This is all a ploy and a plan to get people into cities to implement their smart cities,” he added. “And it’s the only way they can control you. First, they have to go to digital currency and get you into smart cities. This is happening and this is real. This is evil. This is pure evil.”
The official line on how the wildfires in Canada started are that lightning strikes and unseasonably warm weather are to blame. There are many officials attempting to blame “climate change” for the wildfires.
’15-minute cities’ are a relatively new concept. The idea is to build cities in such a way that “most daily necessities and services are located within a 15-minute walk or bike ride.” Carlos Moreno, urbanist and professor at the Sorbonne University in Paris, first came up with the idea in 2016 so that most people would have easy access to shops, schools, doctors, the gym, parks, restaurants and cultural institutions.
Benjamin Büttner, mobility expert at the Technical University Munich, told DW ideas that “in order to create more sustainable cities, things like green spaces, places to do sport, cinemas and shops need to be moved to where people live, not vice versa. And that doesn’t mean they have to be demolished and rebuilt, but that already existing public space needs to be rearranged.”
“The 15-minute city also offers a mobility concept: fewer cars and more space for cyclists and pedestrians, safe paths for children, people with disabilities or the elderly and places for social interaction,” the story added.
“Cars are a problem, at least in urban centers. They take up too much space and they can hamper active mobility,” Büttner said.
The 15-minute cities concept appears to relate much more to reconstructing already existing urban areas than moving people from the countryside into urban areas.
There has been a considerable “global response” to the Canadian fires. In addition to around 110 firefighters from France, 600 firefighters from the United States are en route to Canada, with some expected to arrive in Quebec next week. However, a new challenge has arisen as some fires have grown so large that they are merging with others, presenting a difficult challenge for firefighters.
With over 280,000 hectares (691,900 acres) of land already consumed by the fires, this is already Quebec’s most severe fire season to date. The Canadian province is grappling with wildfires on an unprecedented scale, a phenomenon more commonly associated with regions in western Canada such as Alberta and British Columbia.
The fires have already sparked a talking point among climate activists and politicians who claim without evidence that the wildfires have indirectly been caused by human activity. While others are much more accusatory in their linkage of human activity to the fires.
In summary, civilian distrust of the government is at an all-time high following the authoritarian Covid response, the ensuing lockdowns, the mask mandates, and the vaccine mandates. It is unsurprising but unfortunate that any time there is a national emergency, the first response for millions of people now is to suspect the government is somehow behind it.
Start with your own gov and wef, look up the 15 min cities, food supply issues etc. You’re being obtuse, but that’s fine.
Terrorism. It’s gonna get worse.
Or if a little swamp gas blows on them and boom, fire.
Send the bill to Putin and Ukraine.
I saw a clear sky and magically, fires appeared. They must have all smoldered for a long time.
What about Bigfoot?
This is what I and others here at FR have been warning about. "They" want to take away private ownership of cars, and jam us all into highrise towers so everything "they" think we need will be within 15 minutes. Space dedicated to cars (roads, garages, parking lots, gas stations, malls, etc.) will be re-allocated away from car usage. Everything we want will no longer be easily accessed in order to control the masses.
Did you actually LOOK at the satellite photos, are are you talking out of the deep state ass?
Exactly. But it is Twitter, so we're supposed to discount it. The fact that the nerd monitoring the feed has seen more 'weather' than you average bear shouldn't matter. are you going to believe the NEWS, or your lying eyes?
pay attention to the posters saying this is "normal".
Well done. Don't actually speak in any way about the vid. Just make fun of the nebulous "they". Awesome. well played. Condider yourself noted.
not to mention cleared ground makes a good staging area
I’m with Wayne

They start at about 14:00 mark
Youtube video shows how it's partly cloudy, not thunderstorms.
Most of the fires going by 16:52 mark
The fires are a crisis and he’s not going to let go to waste.
Name one name of the perps.
Demonstrate their connection to any organized group.
Vague allegations and suspicions are just not gonna cut it.
(I hate the Cabal as much as anyone but we need hard evidence not general speculation.)
You can have multiple lightning strikes days old that are merely smoldering and the wind comes along and you are off to the races. This is what happened in Canada. It has happened here. Two weeks ago over a dozen lightning strikes across Northern California grew to significant size in a short period. Fortunately, we still have relatively high fuel moistures.
I’ve seen lightning struck trees smolder internally for months, the wind blows, they break, air/wind hits it and you have a big fire.
Campfires that are not properly extinguished smolder, sometimes for a long time, the wind picks up and they are off and running. These are common.
We had two trees on a ranch I work at smolder internally through the winter, after our fire. Fortunately, the broke open in the spring when it was relatively green, so they didn’t run.
Let’s pursue your theory; what of significance did they set on fire? What is their tactical purpose? How did they coordinate this across such a wide range simultaneously? Are there any common elements among the areas on fire? Why did they do this and how did they do this?
Having dealt with arson fires, I can tell you that we are most fortunate that the majority of these don’t take off. Most arsonists don’t know what they are doing. To have the favorable weather, terrain, and fuels all line up for a huge fire is relatively rare. The worst arson fires I’ve seen are those that are set after a major fire is going and that is usually because the big three are already lined up.
We had similar allegations during our big fires (Nuns, Tubbs, Atlas). The claim was that aerial laser weapons were used. The evidence was that some homes burned while others nearby didn’t. One guy pointed at an Arby’s that burned but the trees around it didn’t. Despite many believing this, no one could even suggest why certain homes were targeted or why Arby’s was targeted. If you could show some commonality among the home owners, well, maybe, but no one was able to do so. The fact that Arby’s employees went in 2 days after the fire and fired things up to make food for firefighters unaware flammable material was in the flues setting off the fire is wholly ignored. All the fires that night happened within minutes of one another. An 80-100 MPH gust came through compromising power lines and three major fires were running. The nearby arsonist who set a fire nearby in a creek bed only burned 25 acres. The odds of catching the right place at the right time is tough.
Is it odd to you that in that video showing the fires starting within a couple of hours that there is hardly a cloud across the entire North American continent?
These fires are fueled by stupid ideas that forbid sensible 'forest management'.
First, we've had "dry and hot weather" since North American was settled - and probably before that :) . What we didn't have was people who intentionally set up systems conducive to forest fires. Clear the underbrush, manage the forest, and take power away from environmentalists...I uspect most of this problem can be solved.
