14 of the 15 worst cities for air pollution in U.S. and Canada were north of the border last year: report

Thanks to wildfires, air quality in Canada is now worse than in the U.S., according to a new report.

Published Tuesday, the 6th Annual World Air Quality Report  found that air quality in Canada in 2023 was worse than in the U.S. for the first time in the report’s history.

Of the 15 most polluted cities in the two countries, 14 were in Canada, led by Fort McMurray and Peace River in Alberta. Others included Yellowknife, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Canmore, Alta.

Clearly we need more carbon tax.
