Canada is experiencing its worst-ever start to wildfire season, with about 3.8 million hectares already burned, roughly 15 times the 10-year average. The blazes are burning simultaneously in the east and west, stretching firefighting resources and forcing the Canadian government to send in the military to help. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed climate change. Thousands of people have been forced from their homes and a smoky haze has spread across U.S. cities.
