Canada has a legit wildfire season, and electrical and accidents obviously occur, but it also has an arson problem apparently because the fires drive a set of other narratives. eco-terrorism has its own internal status system that incentivises it. It's a source of chaos for its own sake. The irony is that instead of dealing with the crime, police mainly protect these "activists" from the communities they harass and the impunity from traditional consequences just makes them worse.
