Readers react to a Globe opinion about the wildfires from Australia-based writer Jessica Friedmann
A firefighter controls a back burn ahead of a fire front in the New South Wales town of Jerrawangala on January 1, 2020.I took a holiday about 10 years ago driving from Sydney to Canberra to Cann River and thence through much of Gippsland. My heart goes out to these folks.
In Saskatchewan this year, I had hoped to drive to Stanley Mission but was prevented by fire near La Ronge. Then in Alberta we got blocked by fire near High Level. We’d planned to drive to Hay River and Fort Smith but got blocked by smoke and risk. Fort Smith experienced a tornado, rare in the Northwest Territories . We changed our plans to visit places further south in Alberta and had to change our plans yet again because of smoke.
