I'm camping in the Rockies, south of Banff, and a whole bunch of smoke rolled in overnight. It's stifling, and giving me headaches. Wish it would go away.
I've heard it's from fires in the northwest US. How is it back home?
It seems ok here right now.
Sorry to hear its so bad there :(
Little hazy today but no smell or smog
Monday was pretty choke-tastic around my place, there was almost a fog near the river all day
It's really irritating
There was a little smoke last evening/night. I couldn't see it, but i could smell it.
Pretty much anywhere around Calgary or south of it seems to have been hit pretty hard by the US forest fires... We here in E-town could smell it a bit on Monday but it was barely visible and definitely not as bad.

Calgary had a air quality rating of 21 ... on a scale of 10
Just a few points higher than Beijing!
We are an 8/10 today apparently.
Also speaking of China, no joke there's some folks that are bottling compressed Jasper air and selling it online for $15 a pop. And a majority of their customers are from China -- due to the crappy air quality there.

OMG when I looked on Youtube for the Spaceballs "Perri-air" clip, I found this -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiabeNR_q0U -- and a few of the comments linked to news stories from 2014 or even 2013 where yes apparently *CANNED* air was actually already a thing!
