Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan have burned 1.7 million acres, causing evacuations, fatalities, and widespread smoke affecting the US Midwest. Most fires are human-caused, with conditions expected to worsen due to hot, dry weather and climate change. Canada is responding with emergency measures, military aid, and support for firefighting efforts.
Canadian police have released a detailed timeline of a deadly stabbing spree that took place in September in a small indigenous community in Saskatchewan. Two brothers spent days drinking, dealing drugs, and stealing cars before one of them killed 11 people. The stabbing spree took place on the James Smith Cree Nation and in the nearby small community of Weldon. One person was killed in Weldon, and ten people were killed in the indigenous community, including Sanderson's brother Damien. Myles Sanderson was later captured after a days-long manhunt and died in police custody.
