Canada’s wildfires were started by Direct Energy Weapons

The claim that Canada's wildfires were started by Direct Energy Weapons (DEWs) is unfounded and lacks credible evidence. DEWs, which use concentrated electromagnetic energy, have been developed for military applications but have not been shown to be used in civilian settings such as igniting wildfires. This conspiracy theory has been debunked multiple times, including during the California wildfires of 2018 and other high-profile fires CBS News, USA Today. The 2025 Canadian wildfire season, which is the second-worst on record, has been attributed to climate change, with warmer temperatures and dry conditions leading to more frequent and intense fires. These conditions have been exacerbated by natural factors such as lightning and wind patterns, not DEWs The Guardian, NPR. The spread of misinformation about DEWs and wildfires often arises from a need to find control or explanation in the face of overwhelming natural disasters, but these claims have been consistently debunked by experts and fact-checkers.
