Summary
Canada’s wildfire crisis is escalating into a global emergency, with nearly 1,000 fires blazing across the country—and experts warning 2026 could be worse. Photojournalist and author Jesse Winter’s new book, “Wild Fire,” reveals why Canada is uniquely vulnerable: overgrown forests packed with flammable trees, climate change, and insect outbreaks create a deadly trifecta. He exposes how billions are wasted fighting fires instead of preventing them, comparing current efforts to using a water pistol against a wildfire. Through harrowing stories from firefighters and evacuees, Winter paints a sobering picture: wildfires aren’t anomalies anymore—they’re our new normal, demanding urgent adaptation before it’s too late.
