It's thick and it's hard to escape.
We've been blanketed by smoke over the last two days and it distinctly smells of campfire outside.
You can smell it immediately when you go outside.
It's even seeped through the buildings.
I live in an apartment complex in downtown Toronto, and even the hallways here smell like smoke.
So really hard to escape.
Most people are staying home if they can.
And we know that the smoke is traveling south in the U.S., where the final of the FIFA World Cup game on Sunday is set to be held.
And so there are concerns that it might affect the World Cup final.
Right now, we're not hearing of any impacts to scheduling, but certainly there are concerns that the smoke will continue to linger throughout the weekend.
In general, there are about 800 wildfires or so building across Canada right now.
And many of them are burning out of control in northern Ontario.
So that's where the bulk of the smoke that we're seeing here is coming from.
Wildfires in Canada are not unusual, but they have become more frequent since 2015.
And before, they used to burn out west more often.
So, you know, in British Columbia, in Alberta.
What we're seeing over the past number of years is the frequency of wildfires is moving out east.
So now you're seeing wildfires in Ontario, in Quebec, and in the Maritimes.
And of course, firefighting efforts are ongoing across the country.
But I think it's important to note that fighting fires in Canada's vast boreal forest is very difficult.
