It's definitely eerie seeing the skies darken knowing that another province is burning down. Thankfully I'm not too bothered by the poor air quality. For Canada, I don't know much. We have lots of fresh water and most of our country is difficult to enhabit due to the cold already, so we are probably in a better position than many globally central areas.

Currently hazy from smoke. We have "wildfire season" now and half of Canada is either smoky or on fire. Had it bad two years ago too. I'm not that old but it didn't happen when I was younger that I remember.

This is the same as me. Outside of work, though, I'm the cat in the meme.

I regularly drank from a stream in Canada as well haha. There was a stream fed by a spring near where we lived that we tested and was clean. We'd then fill up jugs right from the spring to drink at home.

Yeah this is annoying.

I believe Piefed is designed to federate with existing Lemmy instances which means it's working already.

I see Piefed posts in Thunder.

This is a good post.

I switched to using CBC's Mauril from Duolingo, and it's been good for me. However, it's only available to Canadian residents (or VPN users) and it's only for French. So it worked for me but obviously that covers a small subset of Duolingo users.

Slam one in the car and race to your destination before you fall asleep.

Or what?
