There are currently 75 active wildfires in the province of Alberta, 23 of which are considered out of control

Much of Canada and parts of the U.S. are blanketed by smoke as wildfires in continue to rage.

There are currently 75 active wildfires in the province of Alberta, 23 of which are considered out of control.

Early May is typically the start of wildfire season in the region, but experts say this level of activity is unusual.

Temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days, as authorities warn there will likely be more fires to come.

Satellite images show the smoke from the Alberta wildfires has travelled to the eastern portion of Canada, reaching Quebec and Ontario, down to the US-Canada border.

In Washington, the National Weather Service says Thursday’s bright orange sunset is caused by “smoke from the Canadian wildfires [that] remains suspended in the upper atmosphere”.

As the fires continue to burn, 300 members of the Canadian military are being deployed to help local firefighters put out the flames on the ground and by air.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
