Not much the canadiens can honestly do on their end.

 The forests are so remote and Canada as a whole is so sparsely populated that they just don’t have the resources and manpower to do much of significance.

One of the candidates running for governor of mi is using the smoke as a platform to get votes.  He promises if he is elected he will force Canada to take action and stop the fires from  harming the lives of the people of mi.

 There are multiple multiple current representatives in the mi house and senate who are saying similar things and demanding Canada fix this problem now....

Hell I'll gladly take some footage of a smoke if it forms within view of my porch. Otherwise I'm getting hammered after work and staying tf inside.

Normally would be rooting for a lake breeze but all it’s doing now is pushing in more nasty air from the N/NE

Six Flags closed at 3 today. First time in the parks history it closed due to air quality.

Black Keys concert in Chicago also cancelled 

[A-L-E-K]
