On this week’s episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott burn a little airtime talking about the wildfires scorching across Canada — the most damaging forest fire season of the century, according to the federal government. Like everything else, the fires have fanned the flames of political rhetoric, with some provincial leaders a lot less willing than others to admit the role of climate change in this unprecedented summer. For a voice of reason, we turn to Eric Kennedy, a professor of disaster and emergency management at York University. Also on the podcast: a tiny bar in Guelph, a huge scoop from The Trillium at Queen’s Park, and a Canadian golf victory for the ages.
