Canada keeps exporting wildfire smoke, then exports excuses.
Stop blaming "climate change" for government failures to manage forests and prevent catastrophic fires.
America shouldn't have to breathe the consequences of Canada's negligence.

@doublezerodonut Started by arson. Good gosh the kool aid bowl is empty

I’m confused on why forest fires (started by arson) are considered “climate change”?
Drought existed before humanity.
Fire was naturally the way pine forests reset themselves for millenia. Maybe we can start logging forests that are 10x the density they should be?

@fubarrdog @FIfififif7246 Y’all have like *no* forest per capita to maintain and somehow still can’t stop it from crossing the border. Isn’t stopping border crossings like your thing now?

so what i’m learning is canadians don’t understand (or care) how bad wildfires are

This really is a perfect encapsulation of the Canadian mind, because their country is literally consumed by blazing hellfires and yet they're smug because the US is a bit hazy from the smoke

Canada is no longer a First World country and too poor to do the forest management that it was able to do in the 20th Century.

Pardon my language but how in the fuck would you like us to "manage" this in such a manner that would prevent large wildfires? Other than clear cutting the entire goddamn thing.

Canada fucked our entire week with their wildfire smoke bullshit, now they're going to fuck our weekend with thunderstorms fueled by the same smoke.
At first, I guffawed at the idea of sanctioning the Snow Mexicans. I am now on board.
How dare you mildly inconvenience me.

canada’s wildfire pollution is an act of aggression against the US. can’t see it any other way and no reasonable person should.
John James@JohnJamesMI
FINAL WARNING TO CANADA: Manage your forests to prevent these fires. American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year. Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.

@Rythmol81 The US atleast is willing to put in effort.. all Canadians seem to do is say you can’t.

@Rythmol81 The US has at least restarted it federal forest service & Forestry management which that was stopped under the Obama EPA. Canada decided to cancel forestry management completely, and replaced it with an arson schedule.

@RachelVT42 Yeah but like this isn’t a “pedestrian zone”. No one lives in the Village, it’s a 15 min car drive into the town of Tremblant and over an hour from the nearest metro centre….

@DavidSpies17 Many ski resorts aren’t pedestrian friendly at all. 🤷🏻♀️
Also, many are super boring in summer. Not true for MT.

@DanRidesPA Quebec banned it in 2001, yet had one of their worst wildfire years in history recently. Thoughts?
English
I'm going to just keep reposting this for every Canadian who wants to come at me with CBC talking points.
Look, if I cared what CBC said, I'd listen to CBC.
No one asked for regurgitated muddle-brained talking points.
Pay attention, words ahead:
Glyphosate (the active ingredient in herbicides like Roundup) is widely used in Canadian forestry for vegetation management after clear-cutting.
Its primary purpose is to suppress competing deciduous plants and herbaceous vegetation, allowing commercially valuable conifers (pine, spruce) to establish more quickly in regenerating forests.
Deciduous/mixed forests (promoted by non-chemical methods) are less flammable than conifer plantations. Sprayed areas can create drier, more uniform fuel loads.
Application of this herbicide remains common in provinces managing Crown forests but remains highly controversial due to ecological, health, Indigenous rights, and wildfire resilience concerns.
Quebec banned it for forestry in 2001, while other provinces continue with certain regulations.
Guess where the fires are most problematic?

I hate tariffs, but I’ll make an exception for Canada; the land of shitlibs & commietards
Leading Report@LeadingReport
President Trump says Canada will face new tariffs over wildfire smoke, accusing it of “willful negligence.”

@cryptobruh117 Hey Abo, couldn’t handle the heat after some smoke? Good ol block button supporting you better than your arguments :)

@cryptobruh117 “A probable number” but hey let me toss out this completely non-provable claim juuust to sensationalize and show how little I know about the remoteness of Canadian wilderness.

Chop chop lil nіggа. We don’t give a shit what it costs you, you made “forcing 100 million people to breathe poison” an annual tradition lol
Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene@ryankatzrosene
OK let's game this out: A prescribed burn costs between $1500-$8000 per hectare. There are 526 million hectares of boreal forest. If we prescribe burn 5% of the forest each year (representing a 20-year fire return rate) it would cost between $39.5 Billion and $210.4 Billion PER YEAR. So, up to 36% of Canada's total ANNUAL budget. On prescribed burning 👍

For all the Canadians who keep posting the same image showing forest area in Canada:
Canada has 1.4 million square miles of forest. The US has 1.2 million square miles. Canada is 35-38% covered by forest. The US is 33-36% covered by forest.
Quit making excuses and get your government to control this mess.

@ode_to_fyodor Nah, y’all just decided you didn’t care about border crossings when they originate on your side.

I'm sorry, Canada, but this is spot on
