Yeah my breathing is about to get screwed again as soon as the wind shifts my way.Get your shit together Canada. Some controlled burns to create barriers to wildfires spreading would be a good start. It seems their plan though is all of the forests, just let the motherfucker burn.

What’s with Canada and huge fires? Last couple years I’ve been getting smoke from them.

Basically:
- Canada has a lot of boreal forest
- The scale of fires in boreal forests have increased sharply due to higher temperatures

Huge forests with little to no management in vast wilderness areas. Many villages towns and even cities are located within heavily wooded surroundings. Decades of infestations of insects prior to fires that were so big they were also impossible to manage. Decades of preventing and suppressing fires completely with the knowledge that they were vital to the ecosystem. Intense sudden heat waves. Almost complete lack of snow and rain in winter/spring. More severe summer weather mainly thunderstorms.
Lots of reasons really.
