Its kind of .... pathetic that my mind instantly goes to - thank goodness the wind goes from West to east!
I know I know, Canada will still be impacted negatively in other ways, and this is pretty heartless for the people who would be greatly impacted.
But in my defense, I think it is human nature to sometimes first assess the impact on one owns situation before thinking of others. So I don't quite think I am a monster for thinking this!
