We've bought high filtering face masks, usually used for construction work, and extra air cleaners.

Assume this is our life now until it snows in Canada.

I drove halfway across Canada on the TransCan highway back in the early 2000s. I had no clue how many trees were in Canada! It’s a gigantic forest on an epic scale - billions of trees.

We will face fires like this every summer for years to come in this new climate normal.

I always assumed public smoking bans would result in more cigarettes being tossed out car windows into brush. And resultant fires.

The culprit is a terrible weather pattern, which may be affected by climate change. We just have to deal with it for now.

It’s not climate change. It’s some dumb Canadians starting a bonfire or throwing a cigarette somewhere in the forest.

It's not climate change causing each fire. It's climate change creating conditions where fires burn longer and hotter and the fire season is longer. The ignition can be campfires or lightning or cigarettes or agricultural burning or whatever but if the rainfall and temperature patterns are different, such as hot and fruity, fires can be more likely to catch on and then be harder to put out.

Seriously, reporting to live from California! The only reason why anyone on the East Coast cares about the fires this year is because they’re being affected by the smoke. No one gives a flying F any other time of the year.

I don’t mean to be rude, as it’s not in our nature to because impolite, but what a stupid post. I regret reading it and wasting my time responding.

Prevention. Firefighters.

Do you even know how big Canada in comparison to the US (ie. most forest fires are in the boreal where most Canadians do not love) not to mention our population?

Canadian here - No I don’t think pp knows how big Canada is. The majority of Americans don’t think outside of themselves or ’merica. Canada is the second largest land mass. Most Canadians live in cities near the border. These fires are burning is mostly unpopulated areas. Downtown Toronto is not on fire. How many firefighters do you think we have in Canada? To fight fires in these largely inaccessible areas? I’m sorry but Americans are really clueless about the rest of the world. I just can’t.

You’re such a troll. Lol

Not a troll. Just sick of this.
Can’t they put some industrial fans out there and blow the smoke somewhere else? Why do we always have to deal with it? They need to innovate or something instead of sitting around eating donuts and saying eh to each other.

Hello from Los Angeles- We have wildfires burning for months at a time. This is not a canadian thing. I don’t live in a wildfire neighborhood, but I get the smoke and the soot. Can the Americans please do something about the American fires?

What about a wall? I think a wall would work.

I think a lot of Canadians would support a wall. You want to keep canadian smoke out. We want to keep ignorant Americans out.

I’m with you OP but don’t count on useless Canada to do anything meaningful to resolve this. I lived there for several years and the people are rude, provincial rednecks and they hate America so they’re probably happy we’re suffering with them.

Not gonna happen, not any of what you typed. Better get used to it.
Or vent your frustrations on DCUM.
