I guess record temperatures and lack of moisture aren't the culprit, of course it's forest management over the entire state of Canada. Such an easy solution, why didn't Canadian forest management think of that.
Same reason the envirokooks make the same mistakes mismanaging wooded lands in California, Colorado, etc., and we get wildfires burning out of control.

Canada has over 400 wildfires burning all at the same time, on much less land (Canada is a little more than half the size of Russia).

So just keep moving goalposts from your "Where are the forest wildfires in the rest of the world?" question? This is an escalating worldwide problem.

I don't see any experts claiming that this is because of mismanagement. I see where they had temperatures over 90 degrees in May, rather warm for that early. The climate is comparable to Scotland, but they also had fires in London last year that required evacuations.

Such a wealth of forestry experts on CD.
The fire in Canada isn't a huge major concern, and in the grand scheme of fires its very small. Read about the fires in Canada in the 1800's and this pales in any comparison. What YOU are anecdotally witnessing is a set of coincidences where the jet stream is directly over the fire, and the jet stream is directly over large population centers such as NYC and Washington DC yesterday and today. The fires have been going on for a month now, and you didn't even have a clue.

Because land management was so bad due to green weenies not allowing you to touch a tree or underbrush.

One rather big coincidence is climate change which impacts not only temperature but weather patterns.

Yes we all have a clue now, over half the US has a clue.

I guess you forgot the impact of the fires in the West that impacted a large part of the nation in 2020 and 2021, I guess we're just lucky with these coincidences. None were as bad as this.
