But have you seen the woke wacko environmental radicals that introduced pizza at Tim Horton’s?

If it’s either that or the smoke of a burning world, I’m taking the smoke!

Honestly, I just thought coastal towns were going to flood and Calgary would be a little warmer. I'm a bit of a 'bright side' kind of guy, though. These fires suck major balls.

Yeah thanks, I’m not oblivious to the idea of climate change. But the reality is, we’ve gone from 0-60 on that area pretty fast.

Smoke season is the primary reason we had AC installed in our house last year. Summer heat wasn't a big issue as long as we could open windows, but smoke made that impossible too many days of the year

What do you mean? From having nice blue sky summers to never having them again since could be categorized as a 0 to 60 shift, I think.

Plus it really doesn't cool down at night like it used to once June, July and August hit.

Never having them again? I'm just saying this is the possible tip of the ice burg. We've went from zero to ten.

I mean we're at 60 now... we go right from winter into smoke all summer into fall then back to winter.

It remains to be seen if we'll come back down from 60... but we're there now.

And over the last few days you watch TV and it’s one emergency alert after another…in May.

All that hoopla here yesterday and it's already cleared.

Let's tone down the catastrophizing, at least until August when we get a full month of smog.

It's like a late September snowfall. Gone in a day but a warning shot of what's to come
