Meanwhile my neighbors have no problem burning wood in a campfire when our houses are 10 feet apart. 🤪

Are you outside of the city? Is there no burn ban in place?

Anyone have any historical data on the air quality in Ottawa? I can't remember the air being the bad for this long before and I'm curious what the historical context is.

I’ve heard (please take this with a huge grain of salt) that there’s wildfires in Quebec every year, but usually the wind pushes the smoke east / northeast.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.
