Why so uneasy? Air pollution is a serious and, above all, a global issue. It's sad that Canada is among the least 25% polluted states while still above the threshold. Most other large economies are lagging behind with the second-largest economy, China, facing an air pollution 4 times higher than Canada's.

If what you say is correct, China is doing something majorly correct around air pollution if they only produce 4 times the same. Even if their per-capita pollution was the same as ours, things would so much worse right now.

Yeah? China's government started to censor air quality data in the 2010s. They simply told the company that made the 'China Air Quality Index' app for Apple and Android mobile to stop displaying pollution levels that exceeded an official point (you'll find ample evidence for this across the web). I don't know whether they still censor it in China, but the air pollution there is still alarmingly high.

To use your words: This is a serious issue. Quit fucking around.
