Hello fellow edmontonian
banananutcheerios
We have 3 seasons now - winter, spring and lung cancer.

It’s those degens from up country.

I live in Edmonton and just got surgery on Monday, it was beautiful weather when I went in but got out today to this fury road bullshit
EmeraldLight
Get well soon!

The view from the top of the Stantec was interesting, Maybe i'll take a pic tomorrow.

That's end of days stuff. Very scary.

As an Edmontonian I'm so excited my city is on the front page...but its hard to smile when I can't breathe
GinOClock
Damn. It's like AB went from winter straight into fire season

I seriously dont ever remember having fays like this when I was a kid. Now several spring and summers in a row
dahli049
Live in Minneapolis, agreed, seems like the last 5 years we’ve had more hazy day occurrences from wildfires west vs when I was a kid, I’m 31
Updoodilydoo
yup, earlier today I was like "ok which western state is burning down today?"
BIGRIG86
I'm out in Spruce Grove! Yeah she's a bit smoky
lainie
She's smoky in Kelowna it's so bad.
BIGRIG86
Ya I think all of western Canada looks like the apocolypse right now

I am in the high level area as we speak. Firefighters are doing their best, god bless them!

Be safe!

Thanks for everything you're doing. Sending my respect from Grande Prairie.

Live close to the BC, Alberta border in the North. Hope everything stays ok for you and yours! <3

Apparently there's a new fire in Mill Creek Ravine, oh goody!
LookSirDroids
The smoke is now so bad that the sun can't get through to make everything orange, it's just dark grey.

I lived in Edmonton for 4 years and became a citizen of Canada. Hi Five but racist as fuck in the 90s

You forgot to mention this was around 2pm in the afternoon.

I love it.
ladyzeiraphera
Our newly elected conservative government cancelled a press conference about repealing the carbon tax due to the smoke (tax still repealed).
lukemwp
Good thing Trudeau made that deal with AB to ensure KM pipeline was built hey?
GoldenFleece
Hasn't the supreme Court scrapped that? The alternative is trucking and training cargo through the mountains (oil spills more likely).
lukemwp
Nope. And the alternative is not expanding tar sand production.
GoldenFleece
How serious is the separatist movement in Alberta? I know most are disillusioned with the Libs but it seems extreme.
ladyzeiraphera
Not that serious. The Alberta Independence Party, who actually ran on a separatist platform only got 13,531 votes in the last election.
FlavorOfTheDay
Lived in Edmonton 35 years. 2 years in a row its like this. Before that, nothing as bad. Global warming is real. We’re seeing it in Canada.
TrapsAreIllegal
Ruined the end of summer last year, running the beginning summer this year.

Fort Mac fire was pretty nasty, Slave Lake before it.. Now High level?.. Alberta is getting dumped on with fires these last few years. :(
GoldenFleece
PSA: eliminating support for the meat (mainly beef) industry is one of the easiest ways for an individual to reduce their carbon footprint!
GoldenFleece
The more people who do this, the more likely it is for the free market to shut down the unsustainable industry. Sorry I'm preachy...
Beaveronagoose
Meat good.
BARRIIICADEtv
Itchy... Tasty..
TrapsAreIllegal
Tastes too good though
EmeraldLight
Especially in northern parts of the provinces, usually unaffected.
BARRIIICADEtv
Living in Northern BC?, we get fires as soon as May hits and they don't stop until early September in most cases.
azgrak
Crazy early in the year to have fires. There many places that people are still skiing. Where’s your snow?

That dumpster has good taste in music

I was a kid during the California Cedar fires of 2003. It looked like this, except it was raining ash and embers in my backyard. 1/2
Cthulily
Same. I was at SDSU, near the Q.
AlbusSeverusPotter
I was in Prince George last year during the fires in BC and it was pitch black outside at 10 am on day due to the smoke.
Duendes
After last year's fire, we got a Molekule. Holy crap, that massive tin can actually works!
DefinitelyNotAdolfHitler
Yet, we faced no Immediate danger of those fires where we were.
Lexodus
Same deal here. No danger (except air quality) and I've been hearing parts of the city getting ash
LookSirDroids
Yup, had ash on my car this morning.

Does this mean Edmonton is part of Silent Hill now?
carebear032007
When was it NOT apart of silent hill?
Drennen
Im just imagining this happening to people a couple hundred or so years ago. The sky grew angry and choked the people. Sacrifice something?

You talking about the Otherworld version of it?
HillaryBanks
I’ve been saying that all day! I live in Edmonton and it’s grim
modicumjones
Nah, Edmonton just does that to reduce the amount of processor heavy entities it has to render.

If you’ve been to Edmonton, then you would know that silent hill isn’t as scary as Edmonton is
StarvedDemon
There's a reason we call it Deadmonton.
jellopop
I never thought Edmonton was a bad place... i don’t live there anymore, mind you.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
I feel like the city gave up years ago trying to pick up all the trash strewn about the city.

Edmonton has nice spots and bad spots. just like every other city on earth.

While the crime severity index isn't a good representation of general crime, it has shown a steady increase indicating that the severity 2/

it looks more Trump orange than yellow. But I am colorblind
MonsieurRickles
Last year August in AB was as bad. UCP Jason Kenney had to cancel his outdoor announcement about repealing carbon tax due to air quality.

Truth! When I went outside at Noon, it already looked liked 9pm! Now I can hardly see down my street.

Hello, fellow Edmontonian. Hope your lungs are okay.
