National Observer: A few days ago Mike Flannigan travelled to Fort McMurray as part a special scientific research team studying the raging wildfire. He got a birds eye view from above and a close look at the ruins on the ground. With smoke still smouldering in the forests, not many people had come back, and yet nature had begun it's nascent process of recovery and return.

Washington Post: Of the three remaining candidates running to represent the major parties, Sen. Bernie Sanders gives the most access to the traveling campaign press.
