Yeah..sure NY Post.. Just ignore all the evidence of climate change and blame Canada like they were intentionally setting the fires.

It's a go-to response for many. The great N/E blackout of 2003 started here (it didn't); the 9/11 terrorists came from here (they didn't).

Well in this case it is true, but then it's just payback for their guns.

Wow - most of the conservation authority's weather stations are showing 60 to 70 mm of rain from this storm, at least on the east side. 78 mm at Rouge Creek.

The average January rainfall is only 70 mm.

Good news for the garden - the Don must be full!

As you can see, deciduous trees are leafed out; and yes, this is very abnormal for this time of year!

Be careful if you have asthma, COPD or another respiratory illness.

Smoke from forest fires will pollute Toronto's air again this week​

I truly feel sorry for the folks in some areas out west. Excessive heat and fires, then heavy snow/rain resulting in erosion. Can't catch a break.

Apparently our smoke has even reached Portugal now.

 

[APTA-2048]

Standing at one end of the GO station platform and looking down to the other end, the tracks just disappear in a haze of white. It’s bad today.

 

[just east of the creek]

Reminds me a lot of being in China, almost anywhere in China. Constant haze, and on the worst days, your eyes and lungs protest the exposure, and you can taste the pollution on your tongue. The worst - Beijing in late winter/early spring.

If this is the new normal…..but I wonder just what the ‘message’ is that the unbelievers are hanging on to.
