This is the best summary I could come up with:

“It’s been a wild ride,” said Danny Blair, co-director of the Prairie Climate Centre at the University of Winnipeg.

In British Columbia, once the “wet coast,” 28 out of 34 river basins were at the province’s top two drought levels.

Ranchers were selling cattle that they couldn’t grow enough hay to feed, and low streamflows were threatening salmon runs.

There were also fires that spread smoke across the continent and into Europe, where “Canadian wildfires” made headlines from the New York Times to Germany’s nightly news.

Tens of thousands of people were forced from their homes, hundreds of houses were destroyed and four firefighters have been killed.

“But the frequency of it and the severity of it and the coinciding of it with enormous extremes of weather in the U.S. and across the world is suggesting to a lot of people that something’s changed.”

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
