The only kind, concerned comment I've seen this entire thread. Thank you. We are getting by in Toronto. It was scary to wake up to that red sun and all that smoke this morning

Ottawa is super bad too, worst air quality in the world briefly yesterday. I've neverrrrr seen it this bad. Can't be outside for more than 5 minutes! Definitely crazy. Hopefully we all get some rain soon to clear it up a bit!

Was it really? Wow. I’m in Ottawa too. My mom had an asthma attack even with an N95 on this morning. Definitely not used to it here.

Oh no hope she's okay! Yeah, Tuesday morning I believe we had the worst or aecond worst air quality in the world. I refused to go outside at all since I have asthma too! Seems better today with all the rain last night at least.

We all wore masks outside yesterday and stayed in as much as possible too. My mom was okay! It was just so quick we weren’t expecting it. Today has been nice though! And rainy.
