Police in northern Alberta are seeking the public’s help in identifying several arson suspects.

Police officers in Grande Prairie, Alberta have arrested one suspect, and are looking for several others in connection to an arson investigation, as reported by local media.

Grande Prairie RCMP officers have relayed to the media that they believe fires in the city were “intentionally set,” having arrested one person in connection with the blazes.

Witnesses report that fires are being intentionally set and videos of purported arson are being circulated on social media.

“I’m sure [one of the fires] was arson because the wooded area [behind the hotel] had a lot of greenery and there’s no other explanation as to why a fire would start,” reported Alberta resident Marcus Smeltzer.

Smeltzer is one of several Alberta residents that have connected the recent fires in the province to arsonists.

While some have speculated that all the ongoing fires in Alberta were intentionally set to disrupt the voting process, or for other political purposes, there is no evidence at this time to support this claim.

The evidence suggests that only some of the wildfires have been intentionally set by criminals, which may or may not have a political agenda.

Weather conditions are a contributing factor in the ongoing Alberta wildfires, according to fact-checkers at the AFP.

    These are Far Left Trudeau voting eco fascists who are trying to pervey the “world is ending because of climate change” agenda by delibrately starting these fires. These terrorists need to be shot.

    Hilda Lake, Cold Lake, Ardmore, Grand Prarie and Cherry Grove (another church) are all under investigation too. Fires there were also “intentionally set” (softtalk for ARSON).

    Our soft-on-crime overlords will probably just give them slaps, especially if they are a “protected people”. But, at least the truth, that any Albertan should have already suspected, will come out. Well, at least one can hope so.
