our conservative parties in charge of many provinces have slashed budgets for wild fire fighting soooooo
Don't ask me why people keep voting them in, I can't wrap my head around it.

I'm in the CNY area as well and while I enjoy unique events from time to time this one blows. My weather forecast says "smoke". Thankfully keeping the windows closed keeps most of the smell outside.

Leftist batshit leadership like David Eby, John Horgan or Dr. Bonnie Henry aren't any better.

Canadians do love to put fire to things.
So much so, they even put the White House to fire once.
I'm not an expert on the 1812 war, but wasn't it the British who burnt down the White House?

the air was unbreathable yesterday afternoon, despite the comfy weather all the outdoor seating in my town was empty. Maybe slightly better today but will probably get worse later.

lol, sounds like a talking point. The truth is that wild fires are really complex and also vital to the ecosystem, years of fire fighting and fire mitigation just ends up making the situation worse and more volatile down the road. You can’t fight nature forever.

They are even worse. Climate change has nothing to do with the majority of these fires, in fact some were started by careless campers or by tree hugging activists themselves. I wouldn't be surprised to see 'climate lockdowns' in Canada soon with the idiots in charge and the lemmings that follow them.

You are correct. Canada did not formally become a nation until 1867.

Yes, but Canada was British. So in a way...

They put gravy and cheese on fries, so they're cool with me.

Left work yesterday in NJ and smelled fire and the air had some weird haze to it. This is what it looks like now. Smells like a bonfire and the air quality is awful. Wildfires in Canada blowing this shit all the way down here with no end in sight from what I’ve read.

Queens NY here and I had no idea about this whole wildfire business before I left my house for my nightly stroll last night. Thought somebody was burning some wood somewhere honestly.
It's really heavy out here as well. Poor Canadians, they must be hurting!

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
It was like this the last couple days in central-ish PA. Haven't been outside today. It was so weird being able to look directly at the sun through the haze. Also been really chilly last couple evenings, but don't know if it's related.

I looked into it.
The commanders were British and the force was made up of British regiments.
Sorry, that was a British success story. I thought it was suspect because everyone knows Canada has no history

Yeah, and I feel like all the sudden people give a shit because the east coast is getting it. It looked like fuckin Blade Runner outside my house for weeks a couple years ago but now NYC is getting a taste? Headline news!

In NYC - it's better than it was, but there's still a weird yellowish tint. Still feels like I'm in Mexico flashback scene in Breaking Bad.

When that “in Mexico” filter hits in real life…Seems like perfect weather for a long jog out.
