According to https://natural-resources.canada.ca/our-natural-resources/forests/state-canadas-forests-report/how-much-forest-does-canada-have/17601 -- we have 362 million hectares of forest.
We've burned 7.75/362 this year, or just over 2%. If I was a gambling man, I'd wager we reach 3% of our forest burned this year.
However, that leaves a bunch for next year yet...
3%, just craziness!
