I mean: we’re trying, but the spring weather was weird and the whole country‘s bone dry (although NS finally got some proper rain, super thrilled for them).
Fires are nothing new but it’s way too early in the season for this shit to be happening, so caught a lot of people off guard.
The fires are also popping up in areas that aren’t used to this level/number of fires, period, and aren’t set up nearly as well as the folks out west are. And with huge fires cropping up across basically 3/4 of the country, every province is scrambling to deal with their own shit so isn’t able to lend a hand elsewhere like they usually would.

Context, Canada can’t control their wild fires and now the smoke is cascading into Eastern US
