Strange to be reading this about Toronto while living out west, normally it's us.

Last three years Ontario fires have been bad, blowing all over NY.

We really should rake those leaves.

Thanks to Carney, this is going to get a lot worse.

Burn baby, burn.

Firefighting budget is provincial not federal. Ontario government cut firefighting budget quite significantly recently.

Sepia coloured world. My son woke up when I was out and asked "what's going on?". I calmly told him "the apocalypse" then went and made a coffee.

It's even worse now than it was this a.m.

I feel like I'm living the beginning of an Ari Aster film

I took these yesterday, looked like an apocalypse movie.

Willowdale, rn, at 474. 200 points higher than "official city reading". Detroit has a 908 reading. I think that is 1/1000th smoke to air ratio.
