The premier of Alberta has announced she is hiring out-of-province arson investigators to track down the criminals that are intentionally starting wildfires.
The recently elected premier of Alberta has vowed to get to the bottom of recent wildfires in the province, announcing that she will be bringing in outside experts to track down the criminals she believes is responsible for causing the blazes.
During an interview with Real Talk Ryan Jespersen, Danielle Smith tied recent wildfires in the province to “arson” and announced she will be hiring experts from out of the province to investigate.
Speaking to Jespersen, the Alberta premier stated:
“Well, I think you’re watching as I am, the number of stories about arson. And I’m very concerned that there are arsonists and there have been stories as well that we’re investigating.
And we’re bringing in arson investigators from outside the province.”
Smith pointed out that there are 175 fires with “no known cause at the moment.”
If the Alberta premier moves forward with her plan, it will give Albertans better information on whether criminals are responsible for the wave of wildfires in the province.
RCMP have linked numerous fires in the province to arson, arresting several people in the last months. Many suspects remain at large.
It is unclear if the wave of arsons in both eastern and western Canada are linked to climate change activists, Antifa, or other left-wing extremists.
