Last week a small town was consumed in a forest fire. The media reported the temperature at a record 49 degrees Celsius, which is unheard of in Canada.
The thing is, small towns burn every year in Canada because you are supposed to cut away the forest around the town. People have forgotten they have to do that. Forest fire is a real and ever present danger, every summer. There is nothing new about that. It's exactly the same in every other forested place in the world.
The other thing is if you check the satellite, the highest temp was about 44C, which does happen in summer here sometimes, and that too is completely normal.
There's a desert in Manitoba:
