Canada feeling the burn to the point of whole towns burning:

Even US was/is affected by this heat wave:

Also as these weather extremes become more and more common throughout the world, we can expect mass (uncontrolled) migration as people flee affected areas
Guess climate change deniers won't have much ammunition soon
Might this force Canada to rethink its own negative effect on nature in the form of devastating fracking thats been going on for decades there?
Most likely not, as people running the show dont care about any long term effects their business have, only short term profit (probably thinking they can move to any part of the world not affected by global warming - which in itself is retarded).

The poster community of this horrific episode has to be Lytton, British Columbia. The town broke Canada’s long-standing all-time national high temperature of 45C with a high of 46.6C (121.3F) on June 27. The next day brought 47.9C, and Tuesday a stunning 49.6C.
The intense heat flash dried the rugged, forested landscape, and wildfires mushroomed across the area on June 30. By evening, the entire town of Lytton was under mandatory evacuation orders, and Mayor Jan Polderman told CBC News that “the whole town is on fire.” Most homes in Lytton have been destroyed, according to provincial authorities.
In Vancouver, residents have reported car windows cracking and melting, even when they are not parked in the sun.

In the US Pacific Northwest on Monday, temperatures hit 46.6C (116F) in Portland, Oregon, and 42.2C (108F) in Seattle, Washington, the highest levels since record-keeping began in the 1940s, the National Weather Service said.
In Oregon, authorities say at least 63 people have died from health issues related to the hot weather over the past few days. Forty-five of those deaths were recorded in Multnomah County.
At least 16 people have died in Washington state's King and Snohomish counties.
