    Somehow, I don’t think this started the Alberta fires.

    Lightning. Not sure how it was changed above. Notice a lot of spelling errors on here. Wasn’t typed that way before I sent it. Anyhow, well played. Lol

    My phone has went haywire these past 2 updates with spelling and predictive text. It's frustrating.

    Fires up there have been going on for a while now. We had some smoke from them drift down here a couple of weeks ago.

    Its been so thick in Minnesota because of these fires. A couple of weeks ago it was so thick it look like early evening in the middle day and smell was wicked. I say build that damn wall on the Canadian side!

    With the rudimentary Artificial Intelligence in your device thinking that lightening started the fires in Alberta, we have evidence that AI has a long way to go.

    Pray for rain in Alberta. I was up on fire in Kenora Ontario in 1980. Went most of the summer. August rains finally curb it.

    I know alot of people don't believe in global warning but that's how it started!, I live in Canada and the last few years we have been getting crazy storms and heat in the spring. The last couple weeks we have been sitting in the high 90's and when you get that heat you are going to get serious fires! We see tornados and roofs ripped off on the regular now as when we get a storm they generate high winds 80-110km. Its currently close to "feels like" 97 today in Ontario.
