Canada has beautiful country sights and is vast in region but is also target and under attack for land grab and seizure....hence the many 'controlled' wildfires destroying people's lives and properties forcing them in to more tightly knit communities.
Yes, I would imagine the great state of Minnesota's air quality has been affected greatly. It's a shame we both are under the impression wildfires are caused by humans but disagree on how and why. However I do believe we are all in the great awakening and will soon unite despite our intentionally divided influences by the powers that be.
