I’m up in northern Ontario near Sudbury and from what I can see in the forest … as long as it stays cool and rains a bit more, we’ll be ok … otherwise, if there is even going to be a bit more heat, fires are going to erupt all over northern Ontario as badly as northern Quebec.

One thing I’ve noticed this year is how less green the forest is … usually by mid to late June, the forest every where would be an emerald green … this year it didn’t happen and it still hasn’t happened, its like a dull green and many of the trees look like they are stuck half blooming as if it were still late spring and early summer. It really, really looks dry out there and I’m worried that the fires are only going to start in this part of the country in a big way. People are also saying that there is infestation of worms in many forests and I can see large patches of the woods either not blooming, near blooming or half blooming. It looks terrible out there.

Northern Quebec looked really bad for the past two weeks … I hate to say it or even think it but I think we in northern Ontario will be next.

Today in Montreal it was beautiful and blue and fresh. I hope it stays that way. I want to keep my lungs and our forests.
