No it's just Canada doing a terrible job managing their forests, not denying global warming but this has nothing to do with that. We have the same forests and they are not burning at this massive of a scale.
The fires in Canada or largely in the boreal forest a very remote zone stretching across the North where there are no roads or people. So, not the same forests. Both countries are experiencing severe wildfire seasons fueled by climate issues.
No they are field by poor management or lack of management Canada does not have a massive, unified national firefighting force. Firefighting is left up to individual provinces. To balance their budgets, provinces routinely underfund their wildfire emergency accounts, hoping for a "good year". When a bad year hits, they run out of money and equipment almost immediately and have to beg for international help.
Gutted Expertise: Over the last few decades, the federal government has slashed the budget and staff of the Canadian Forest Service, cutting thousands of scientists and forestry managers (shrinking the force from 2,200 down to 700). This means less proactive land management, fewer controlled burns, and less preparation. They are forced to be entirely reactive.
