    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.
