Smoke from the wildfires in north western Ontario will blanket the southern part of the province as well as the east coast of the US, consequences of yet another heatwave. Video is of a Canadian train crew surrounded by raging wildfire flames yesterday near Armstrong, Ontario. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Wildfires

Here's the video of the train that drove into a wildfire in Northern Ontario. Poosibly the same one that has engulfed even my house in smoke, and for perspective, I'm not far from Detroit. We never get smoke this bad, except in 2023 when the whole country was on fire (2nd largest country in the world!) #Wildfires #ClimateChange https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ocZcxPYN290
