Canadian here. This is, for many provinces the worst year ever recorded for forest fires. One fire is larger than our smallest province. It’s very bad. Not sure there is a “normal” though as each year can be highly variable, and different measures for what is normal. Gonna get worse too as we move into the coming few years, imo.
That sounds awful.
Canada is big enough that, as bad as it is right now, most of us are still just doing our regular <cough, cough> 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….”
Because 99% of the population live in the southernmost 1% of the country.
