      Canada is big enough that, as bad as it is right now, most of us are still just doing our regular lives. Until autumn comes around and the fires abate.

      Or, specifically, “we’re steadfastly continuing to feed the global machine that greases the wheels of climate change….”

        IDK where you live, but many cities in Ontario had for the first time ever air quality issues so severe that people were advised to remain indoors as much as possible. Nobody has really been able to ignore it.

          In Sask those are just part of summer life. I swear the only reason the media has picked this story up is because it’s affecting Ontario.

            Well yeah, duh. Wildfires affecting a part of the world that has never been affected by wildfires is particularly noteworthy. Especially considering it’s where almost all of Canada’s population lives.

              In what way? Pretty much everywhere west of the Rockies burns every year. This is nothing new for us.

        Climate crisis, climate change makes it sound like if it’d be something good, neutral, or that it is happening because of external reasons rather than because of capital.
