Pretty sure we all breathe unhealthy air, you can't get away from the hundreds of millions of automobiles flooding pubic space with pollution.

  It blows my mind just how much of our lives are made significantly worse by cars. Noise, air pollution, safety, freedom of travel, and health are all impacted. It's like an alien invasion by mechanical monsters slowly killing us all.

    My life is greatly improved by owning an automobile. Always tradeoffs. If you choose to live in the city, you have to deal with city problems.

So if the Canadian wildfires caused a lot of this, how bad are things in Canada?

  During wildfires it’s really bad. Outside of that, much better due to less congestion
