Is Canada made out of literal newspaper, deadwood and matchsticks? Does Alberta go straight from snow to inferno?

The gently caress is wrong with your country?

The prairie provinces either get intense flooding or intense drought, never anything in-between. Alberta went from snow in March to +20 weather since then with not a drop of rain. In Calgary, people who have not been watering their yards have found they look like month #2 of a "conserve water" advisory. Things are so dry that all ATV's are supposed to have spark inhibitors on their exhaust pipes to prevent fires.

NOBODY,IN THE HISTORY OF EVER, HAS ASKED OR CARED WHAT CANADA THINKS. YOU ARE NOT A COUNTRY. YOUR MONEY HAS THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND ON IT. IF YOU DIG AROUND IN YOUR BACKYARD, NATIVE SKELETONS WOULD EXPLODE OUT OF YOUR LAWN LIKE THE END OF POLTERGEIST. CANADA IS SO POLITE, EH?

The entire country is probably going to have fire bans and possibly vehicle bans in the back country by June.

IDK if they'll outright ban going into the woods all together. Never seen that before in my life

I said the entire country. Everything from Halifax to Vancouver is super dry. We have a big rear end fire on the MB/ON border right now.

I am not disappointed I lost the PGA Championship. Nope, I am not.
Yea, it hasn't rained in 5 hours here in Halifax, which is unusual.

it sucks that the fire happened but it also sucks that it turned NE away from the oil fields

Even a super dry forest looks pretty until someone drops a cig or a horse shoe sparks against a rock.

Then it's 6 weeks of :supaburn:

But ya the actual coasts might be OK because out there abnormally dry is still just this side of drowning from taking a deep breath.
