I heard about the forest fires while I was still in China.
Once in Canada, I first noticed their effects while looking at the horizon which was dark in the evenings.
I have had people tell me that they have experienced bad smoky air because of the forest fires. I, not so much. Maybe this is because I have been in China for so long.
The cause of the forest fires? Climate change say some; other says bad forest management on the part of the government.
In Nova Scotia, controversy has arisen because of the premier's decision to impose 25,000 dollar fines (plus tax and fees) on people who go into the woods. People, who think this is an imposition, are being selfish say one side of the controversy. The people who don't agree with the prohibition and the fines think they are a serious further infringement on people's freedoms started by what they see as the over reaction to Covid.
