Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?

It's fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.

    As a Canadian in the middle of these wildfires, which fire marshalls and environmental scientists have been warning about for years, I'm glad Doug Ford is getting chastised by his big buddy over a problem that should weigh heavily on his shoulders.

    And yes, please, set a precedent to start treating the air as a shared resource. I can't wait to see what kind of penalties get levied against the US once we make that a thing.

    I know he'll forget the whole thing once he starts sundowning tonight, but a girl can dream.

    This fucking dumbass. Lets tariff them, that will surely stop them creating all this smoke. The outcome from his liberation day tariff war was so abysmal I'm surprised he's not too ashamed to utter the word ever again.

    Oh indeed, and on top of the man's own innate mental problems, he was also warped by Roy Cohen and Norman Vincent Peale. From the former he learned to never apologize, never admit to losing, never admit to being wrong, and always attack every critic; from the latter he learned to believe that he cannot fail, and in fact that God himself will ensure his victory. He is a perfect storm of narcissism.

    As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.

    I think the hope is, if they talk enough about the stupid shit he's saying, his fan base will finally see what an idiot he is. But, alas, his fan base is fucking dumber somehow. And yes, it's getting really old hearing this shit every fucking day.

    Dear Canada,

    I am really sorry about the senile old fuckwit criminal that some of us decided to let run wild. I tried to tell the other fuckwits that it was a terrible idea. They did not listen.

    Sincerely,

    I don't know about you, but the "filthy" air invading my home is caused by the 70,000 acres of forest burning my own state......

    ****This is what can happen if you do not properly manage the fire burden of forests by allowing fire to consume the dead trees and ground cover. But god forbid the tourists from big cities see a section of burned forests! They tend to get all riled up.

    It would probably be good if the governments of North America could come together and discuss how to more responsibly and sustainably manage their forests. Beyond increasing temperatures caused by climate change, the recent intensity of summer fires on this continent are also driven by the fact that we no longer do controlled burns of forest lands evolved to regularly burn, leading to accumulated dry underbrush. We treat our managed forests like farms, monocropping species onto dry hills that are better adapted for wetter, more diverse ravines. We woefully underfund the departments tasked with doing these things. As bad as climate change is, these summer fires could be way more mild if only we could hold our governing bodies to be more responsible. But I guess that's where the climate change ultimately came from, too.

    We got more than a million square miles of forest in Canada. We'd have to employ a significant portion of the population to do the things oil companies keep claiming we're supposed to be doing. We've never had to do these things before.

    We have been measuring how dry the forests are for a long time now. We know why the forests are burning. They're dried out because of climate change. We know climate change is caused by global warming. We know global warming is caused be increased carbon dioxide in the air. We know burning fossil fuels puts more carbon dioxide into the air. All of these things have been measured, we know the cause.

    If the oil companies think paying people to rake the forests, clear the brush or whatever will help, then maybe they should pay people to do these things?

    There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.

    Canada's fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).

    Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).

    BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.

    I don't want to sound rude, but all those particles are Canadian, illegal, undocumented and, get this.... brown and yellow and red! And they're here to kill us, bringing Cancer to our region. The worst part is they'll just land anywhere they want, stick around and nobody does anything!

    It's almost as if we should do something about them ...sequester them in a large box? Capture them anywhere they go into our country?

    Do you know they land on your sister? Not just her harms and legs but inside her blouse! Down her undies! Oh my! Everyone's sisters! We gotta do something!
