An Ipsos poll done exclusively for Global News found climate change was ranked 12th in terms of key issues for Canadian voters.

Climate was among the issues discussed in the leaders’ debates last week , but there was little mention of wildfires by the four party leaders in attendance.

2024 became the costliest year , with record-breaking losses of $8.5 billion paid out, Insurance Bureau of Canada says.

Green Party co-leader Elizabeth May said Canada needs a national firefighting force, a national water bomber fleet and early warning systems.

Green Party has vowed to create a national emergency management agency to co-ordinate disaster response across all levels of government.

The party has proposed a National Civil Defence Corps , comprising paid service staff, seasonal or term-based roles and civilian volunteers.
