Canadian wildfire smoke ruining Americans' summer, says letter from Congress members

The sense of entitlement from some Americans is just astonishingly pathetic.

Not much we can do. Not a high priority for funding in Canada...

Why should we care where the prevailing winds are northerlies?

Canada’s Ability to Prevent Forest Fires Lags Behind the Need​

Canada’s Ability to Prevent Forest Fires Lags Behind the Need (Published 2023)

Provincial firefighting agencies are stretched thin, there is no national agency and it’s hard to get approval for controlled burns — factors that have exacerbated recent outbreaks.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com
Canada’s capacity to prevent wildfires has been shrinking for decades because of budget cuts, a loss of some of the country’s forest service staff, and onerous rules for fire prevention, turning some of its forests into a tinderbox.

Trump might suggest nuking the forest fires to put them out.

I think smoke should be quantified in the 'goods and services' part of the balance of trade calculations. It's clearly an import from Canada.

Maybe he should slap a tariff on it . That will stop it.

"With all the technology that we have at our disposal, both in preventing and fighting wildfires, this worrisome trend can be reversed if proper action is taken."


Translation: Canada should rake its forests.

Why can't we just built some large fans and blow the smoke back into Canada?
 
Build a northern wall up to the stratosphere. This will keep out smoke, polar vortexes, and White Walkers.
 
we need a true Golden Dome! totally encasing the entire US, keeping out everything, not just missiles! It will be the biggest, bestest dome anyone has every seen! People will come up to trump, with a tear in their eyes, and say "Sir, thank you for keeping the woke smoke out of america!"

We need the Golden Dome to release some golden showers.

Wow. "Budget cuts" and "a loss of some of the country's forest service staff".....sounds remarkably similar to what trump and the GOP are doing to/have in mind for the USA.

Imagine that....with the example of what the above has done to Canada's ability to prevent forest forest fires staring them in the face - and clogging their nostrils - the President and his minions seem determined to do the same thing to their country.

Yes, let's hope it doesn't bite us in the ass. Canada has a little more forested area than we do (+10%), but they lose triple what we do due to forest fires.
 
Sending resources to put out the fires is too much to ask?

The takeaway from that NYT article is that continually cutting civil servants goes hand in hand with governmental failures when it comes to maintaining forests.

Takeway by MAGAs is that Canadians can control the weather.

Canadian Weather Tech if you will. They're cooking with crazy now. I like it.

We categorically deny the existence of all weather altering technology!

Those machines in the Arctic are storage facilities for Walrus feed.

And those long, long ruts in the tundra all pointing exactly true north? Weather phenomenon.

Canada is boring. Repeat five times.
 
It is incredible that the world can't affect the weather by reducing the amount of polutants thrown out into the atmosphere, but Canadians just need to hire more people and change winds so they won't blow smoke into the US.

Canada Weather Tech.

California and Oregon wildfires are ruining my day.



Only haze so far, but this valley fills up with smoke quickly. Another summer of zero visibility would ruin all my days. Not to mention 100 degree temperatures beginning tomorrow.
 
Those damn Canuck’s and their rot gut poutine.🤣
 

Canadian wildfire smoke ruining Americans' summer, says letter from Congress members!​

Let KING Donald build those six MAGATS in Congress a Big Beautiful Wall to block the smoke from entering the USA.

Perhaps KING Donald can get Mexico to pay for it since they seem to love paying for Big Beautiful Walls when KING Donald says so.
