As a former waterbomber pilot who used to lead an aerial firefighting fleet, I can tell you “send help” is an extremely dishonest framing by the Canadian government. The Canadian government routinely blocks U.S. firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada, while aggressively sending their government-subsidized aircraft to the U.S. to earn commercial rates from the U.S. taxpayer. It’s big business for them and they run it like a Chinese protectionist racket.

US to seize vacation homes owned by Canadians and freeze the US assets of Canadian businesses. (ask your great great Oma from eastern Europe to explain how it works)
Acyn@Acyn
Senator Bernie Moreno tells Fox that the US will be sanctioning Canada due to the deteriorating air quality from the wildfires: We're going to put sanctions on them, holding their assets, making sure they don't have visas, we'll put tariffs because we have to make sure the people suffering get compensated
English
I am seeing a lot of posts from people claiming that Canadians should adopt better forest management practices to reduce forest fire incidents and prevent blazes like the ones in Ontario from getting out of control and blowing smoke downwind, causing transient reductions in air quality.
While it is true that regular mechanical thinning and prescribed burning act to reduce forest overgrowth and clear out highly flammable small-diameter fuels like leaves and twigs, the vast majority of Canadian forests are isolated from the more urbanized Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, meaning they are very difficult to access to have forest management on the regular.
Now, you can strongly argue that better forest management practices would help (and I also did the other day), but due to the geography of Canada and the population distribution, it’s not an easily feasible solution like it is in the U.S.

@ChrisMartzWX forest management generally relates to protecting assets like homes, businesses and communities not raking and thinning a billion acres of boreal forest

I nearly died two years in a row now due to this nonsense. Canada is a hostile neighbor and has zero consideration. Thank you @POTUS
English
@craigwardhoward @btaplatt @josh_wingrove the 15 year side deal is tolls - operations = net profit (it does not include debt service) What confused the journalists is Carney was talking about both deals. What he said we accurate and clear.
English
@btaplatt @josh_wingrove My understanding was that toll revenue minus current debt service would be considered profit. Not that the entire cost of the bridge would be paid first. I mean, Canada didn’t pay for the thing in cash.
English
Bloomberg has the text of the bridge deal. It confirms our earlier reporting: there's no clause about money going to Canada's debt before revenues are split with the US. Only operational expenses like snowclearing are deducted. Story by @josh_wingrove bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
English
@LindaMah183080 @btaplatt @josh_wingrove Carney said exactly what the two deals are “It’s not splitting the tolls of the bridge. It is an agreement for 15 years to split net revenues. Splitting of tolls, or any sharing of the toll revenue, won’t happen until all of the debt is repaid.”
English
@btaplatt @josh_wingrove Can we cut the PM some slack? Trump is a goal post shifter who's been bribed

@ccouja @btaplatt @tim4hire @josh_wingrove Wingrove and Platt are aligned. This is what Carney said and it is accurate “It’s not splitting the tolls of the bridge. It is an agreement for 15 years to split net revenues. Splitting of tolls, or any sharing of the toll revenue, won’t happen until all of the debt is repaid.”
English
@btaplatt @tim4hire @josh_wingrove Not quite, from your colleague, the original deal already includes debt repayment.

Donald Trump says Canada has “refused to engage in basic forest management and debris removal” and that he will increase tariffs on Canada to pay for the damage of wildfire smoke.

@jack_ceroni What if we didn't stop US firefighters from helping put out the fires?

Alright actually I’ll be petty now, these people are goons
Bernie Moreno@berniemoreno
I’ll be introducing a bill next week to sanction Canada and the responsible Canadian government officials for this atrocity.
English
@circlethywagons he should write the bill - he knows how Canada blocks US firefighting companies - it's all explained in this report Tim Sheehy: “We’ve offered to assist ...” June 2023 nbcmontana.com/news/local/bri…
English
This not only happens on the flight lines, this occurs on the ground. Used to cut fire lines on a D4 back in the day before I became a Montana legislator.
So, Tim.... write the bill that prohibits Canadians unless they pay a "leveling fee" (tariff) on the subsidy they receive.

This guy owned a private, for profit fire fighting company and is complaining because "government subsidized" pilots helped the US fight their fires.
He's actually upset that it "cut into profits."
What an absolute mess the United States is.

This needs to be shared widely.
Folks think the US is being unreasonable when all the factors at play point to horrid governance in Canada.
