I'm 42, lived in southern Ontario my whole life, we are hundreds and hundreds of miles from these fires. This is farming country. I've never seen smoke like this here. Thick, smelly, get in your lungs smoke. Blotting out the sun smoke. Keep your kids inside today smoke.
I don't know what the official narrative is because I don't have tv, but something seems off. We've had 2 separate multi-day incidents now, with tons of rain in between them. I don't know how it's possible for that much smoke to travel that far without dissipating. Doesn't make sense to me.
