       | For context, the government of Canada provides
       | https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/interactive-map to track wildfires.
       | At time of submission, Nova Scotia is currently reporting a
       | single wildfire -- under control, at an area of 1.3 hectares. It
       | seems there were a couple more when the story was posted. Even
       | other Maritime provinces are currently dealing with much worse,
       | to say nothing of the northern Prairies.
