Canada's Wildfires are Messing with Our Vibe, No Cap 🇨🇦🔥🇺🇸

The AQI (that's Air Quality Index, for you non-science peeps) is going through the roof in some states. Basically, the higher the AQI, the sketchier the air.

So, why is Canada lowkey on fire? Lightning strikes are a big part of it, but hot, dry, and windy weather are also to blame, and some of them are even starting because of dumb stuff like dropped cigs or arson. And climate change?
