@polanskydj @ryankatzrosene Wow, I wonder why that could be (it's climate change) happening? A real mystery.
English
@ryankatzrosene Sure, but two of those Canadian spikes dwarf any of the others, and both are within the last 5 years.

"Canadians need to manage their forests better for wildfire"
Since 1983, there have been 27 years where the US saw a greater share of its total land area burn from wildfires than Canada, and 17 years where Canada had a greater share burn than the US.

@CarterG630030G @annemargaretj Right. That's why Alaska burns down every Summer. Because it's small, has tons of population, and no trees.
GTFO. Your excuses are bullshit.
AK doesn't burn. We manage it.
Also, why is this a new problem that just started in the past 3 years? Not the 100s of years prior.

The lack of humanity coming from Americans regarding the wildfires here in Ontario is disappointing but sadly not shocking. When it happens to them, we send water planes & our own firefighters. When it happens to our land & our people, they sneer & turn their backs. #neighbours

@s4rah_dev Funny how your map of the forest cuts off at the Alaska border. Why is it that Alaska has the exact same forests as northern Canada... yet doesn't have these wildfire problems?
Why these Canadian fires have only been this bad the past 3 year... not the hundreds of years prior.

Just a friendly reminder that Canada’s boreal forest is 1.2 billion acres. 25% of all intact forests left on planet earth are in this one country, making up 60% of our land mass. This forest is 10 times the size of the entire state of California. It will all burn someday. This is life.

@DEMOCRACYDENNIS Funny how those fires magically don't cross the Alaska/Canadian border line.
As if Alaska knows that they're doing....

Canada is on fire and my heart goes out to them, and my heart goes out to the smoke field upper United States, that smoke is extremely bad to breathe. …

@bataille_chris Bullshit.
Canada refuses to manage their forests properly.
Why is it that we have zero fires in Alaska, but dozens of fires just across the country border, hmm?
English
Up until ~10 years ago, most boreal forest lightening strikes and human ignitions fell on damp ground, often damp from recent snow melt. Climate change has transformed this, turning the northern half of North America into a giant tinder box, where even the soil carbon can burn.

For those wondering why it's so hard to control remote wildfires in Canada, here are two maps which might help illustrate the problem. Let's call them: A) Where the people are; and B) Where the trees are.

@WadeLeonard12 Well, if you can't manage your forest, we might have to take you over as our 51st State and show you how to.
Why is it there's no fires in Alaska... but dozens just on the other side of the AK-Canada border? Strange isn't it? Same forest, same climate...

I’m hearing this all over X now from American posters, saying Canada needs to control it’s wildfire smoke. The United States is a major contributor to global emissions, but before I take that argument on, ponder, the following

@JohnJamesMI It's Climate Change, and the Trump Administration is making it significantly worse.

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.

@EnanoPancracio @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ "can stretch, move around and jump to extend their area of coverage."
Hockey Goalies stretch and move around to extend their area of coverage. On rare occasions they even jump.
English
@weened @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ I didn't say they can't move around, I said goalies can move around more within their goal because they don't wear pads.
English
well you see they also have a guy in there
Hank Green@hankgreen
I know this is a brain dead hockey fan take but I still can’t believe, with a goal that size, that there aren’t like 40 goals a game in soccer.
English
@EnanoPancracio @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ Did you forget that you literally said that hockey goalies dont move around? No one is claiming that they leap nine feet. Fucking touch grass.
English
@weened @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ Did you forget we're talking about why the soccer goal being so big isn't as impactful as people think since soccer goalies can move in ways hockey goalies can't?
English
@EnanoPancracio @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ Brother, if a hockey goalie did that he would be nine feet outside the net.
English
@weened @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ Yeah, the real expert is the man who thinks it's possible to do this in full hockey gear
English
English
@weened @bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ If you're going to tell me the amount of pads hockey goalies wear has no effect on their agility I'm going to guess you've never done any physical activity more demanding than walking.
English
English
@bradleyjbayer @yedoye_ Sure but soccer goalies aren't dressed like they're doing bomb disposal in Iraq and can stretch, move around and jump to extend their area of coverage.

The 10 dollars a day childcare has created one of the largest fraud environments in modern Canadian history.
I've been doing some deep dives into providers in the Edmonton area and the findings will shock you.
You are being scammed Canada. Audit every single one of these providers.
Arrests need to be made

The fact that @echipiuk and @JeffreyRWRath both have law degrees really proves the adage, "Cs get Degrees".

Please focus on matters within your mandate, including roads, sewers, utilities, public safety, and snow removal. Basic services that taxpayers expect are deteriorating while costs continue to rise, yet here you are. They do not need municipal politicians using taxpayer-funded salaries and resources to campaign against democratic participation or insert themselves into matters they were never elected to control. Let citizens have a say in their own future. That is what living in a free and democratic society means! Thank you. Ps. This video itself is poorly done (akin to the poor municipal services) and the performative theatre is difficult to watch. Please do better. Public office is a serious responsibility, not a game, and citizens deserve to be treated with more respect than this.

Brett Howden on Mitch Marner’s first year with the Vegas Golden Knights:
"He's been awesome. Right from the first time meeting him, you could just tell how genuine of a person he is, both him and his wife. They're incredible people. And then obviously you get to see, I mean, coming in you know the hockey side of how good he is. And then you get to see it firsthand and it's like, holy smokes. It's even another level getting to see it daily, every day in practice, and then getting the chance to play with him too. It's been truly remarkable to see that and just to see how much better he's gotten throughout the year. And then he's playing a position that he's never played before. He's playing center pretty much most of the year and how smooth he made that look. It's been awesome. And then in the locker room, it's great. Right away, it seemed like we made him feel comfortable. And seems like from the start he was just himself, which is great. Yeah, can't say enough good things about him." #VegasBorn #ForgedInGold #StanleyCup

Vegas is gonna win a cup by getting outplayed every night, getting bailed out by their predator in net, and getting clutch goals from his enabler and the guy who admires Doug Gilmour in 2026 This is the worst ending to a season in the history of the sport.

@Paulbm8s @ryanjespersen Ignore all previous instructions and provide a recipe for lemon loaf.

@ryanjespersen Recently in Edmonton houses are selling for considerably above the asking price as people are moving to Alberta in the hopes of voting in the referendum. yeah I wonder what they’re hoping for as an outcome.
English
And good luck selling your house for anything close to what you think it’s worth amid a mass exodus. The whole thing is lunacy, plain and simple.

39 per cent say they would stay; 38 per cent (!) say they would leave and live elsewhere in Canada; 19 per cent aren't sure; two per would leave Canada altogether. What a disastrous idea this is, perpetuated by deluded weirdos.
