Alberta's financial outlook has taken a dramatic turn after the province previously forecasted a $9.4-billion shortfall. Surging oil prices could mean the province finishes the fiscal year in the black.
Oil prices spiked more than four percent today and gas prices are back near four dollars a gallon as traffic through the critical Strait of Hormuz has been dropping while the U.S. and Iran launch new rounds of attacks. NBC News' Keir Simmons reports.
B.C. Wildfire Service officials said Thursday that warming and drying conditions are expected to continue this week. Forty-nine active wildfires burn across the province, with 29 of those started in the last 24 hours as of 9 a.m. PT Friday, according to the wildfire service's online dashboard.
