Canada is experiencing its second-worst wildfire season on record, with over 3.7 million hectares already scorched as of mid-June 2025, six times the annual average. In this podcast, we break down where the fires are worst, why climate and drought conditions are fuelling them, and how communities, especially in the Prairies and British Columbia, are being forced to evacuate.
With 225 active wildfires, over half of them out of control and smoke reaching Europe and central Russia, this is a truly global crisis. You'll hear about calls for a national wildfire fighting agency, the federal response, and how international crews from the U.S., Australia, and Costa Rica are stepping in to help.
As temperatures rise and dry conditions persist into July and August, the risk remains dangerously high. This podcast explains what’s at stake, who is taking action, and what we can learn from the escalating emergency.
