    The map posted here is misleading. Each point is representative of an independent fire, but not the fire’s size. Looking at the interactive map in the linked article, you can see just how large the fires in Canada are.

    Personally I don’t care where they are, they’re sad regardless. But the volume of smoke we are seeing is from the sheer volume of acreage blazing in Canada.
