Toronto has been having unseasonally warm weather for the past week.
Along with this we have been having poor air quality.  What's
happening in the rest of Canada?
 
For readers in Ontario, I have a couple of Toronto phone numbers if
you want the current "Air Pollution Index".  

(416) 235-5781 recording
(416) 235-5785 person

I was told that anything over 32 is not good for your health.  I think
this number is really lower (but I don't know how much lower) because
their probes are not at street level.  They keep the probes above the
street level to avoid vandalism.

The following are all the places included in the recording.  Call the
second phone number if a place you're interested in is not on the
list.  These are the Index numbers as of 09:00 this morning.  If there
is any interest, I can post numbers when the Index is not good. 

Toronto Downtown	22	Kitchener		11
Toronto West		46	Waterloo		25
East York		41	Niagara Falls		16
Scarborough		25	St. Catherines		11
North York Central	24	Guelph			32
North York West		n/a	Hamilton Downtown	41
Etobicoke West		38	Hamilton East		42
Etobicoke South		38	Hamilton Mountain	20
York			73	Hamilton West		36
Burlington		33	Sault Ste. Marie	12
Oakville		36	North Bay		18
Oshawa			20	Sudbury			13
Missisauga		50	Ottawa			24
Windsor University	20	Kingston		7
Windsor College		13	Cornwall		20
Sarnia			16	Thunder Bay		2
London			36

Please post any follow-ups to tor.general.  I am interested in Air
Pollution Index numbers for other provinces, as a comparison.
