It's incredible in Québec too, huge parts are burning. In Montreal the sun is orange because of the smoke smog 😔

I noticed that too yesterday. The sun's reflection on the ground was distinctly orange. Scary stuff.

So far so good in the townships. Not seeing any impact.

It's hitting New Jersey as well. 😮 We have an air quality alert for tomorrow and was all hazy and orange sun today

Definitely smelling the smoke here in Toronto. Feel so bad for those impacted!

It's unbelievable, you'd think someone was having a campfire from this smell.

Can't believe how strong the smell is actually.
