Dozens of wildfires have erupted in Canada, leading to over 21,000 evacuations, particularly in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where states of emergency have been declared. Prime Minister Mark Carney has deployed military assistance in Manitoba, where 17,000 residents have been forced to leave, marking the largest evacuation in the province’s history. With 175 active fires, meteorologists predict worsening conditions due to a hot and dry summer, exacerbated by climate change which increases wildfire frequency and severity.
