IDK where you live, but many cities in Ontario had for the first time ever air quality issues so severe that people were advised to remain indoors as much as possible. Nobody has really been able to ignore it.

In Sask those are just part of summer life. I swear the only reason the media has picked this story up is because it's affecting Ontario.
