- kompatible 4y agoConsidering air doesn't typically follow national borders I think that's a bit shortsighted to say. "Much better" might not mean "better than the US" but just "better than before for Canada", which may or may not say too much at all.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoOne of the perks of living on the northern US border is the clean Canadian air.
- jasone 4y agoReally? As someone who lives 100 miles south of British Columbia, my smoke season experience suggests that Canadian forests have been managed similarly to US forests, which is to say "very poorly".
- moistly 4y agoYah, no. I live in Interior BC. It has become rare to have a summer where, for several weeks, our valleys are choked with smoke. Twice in recent years I have literally been unable to see the house across the street because the smoke was so thick. My entire city was on bloody evacuation notice! Some small towns burned to the ground, not a building left standing. The fires get so big they develop their own weather systems. If you live outside a town, chances are you can no longer obtain home fire insurance. We are not good, not by any metric.
