The scenario explores the potential impact of an extreme Canadian wildfire season, with smoke spreading across major US cities including Detroit, Chicago and New York, creating hazardous air quality a
The cause and foundation of the wild fire problems is Italy and France Paris and America in jesus mighty names Amen,,,,, salam Aleikum,,,, wa Aleikum salam,,,,?) (
What are the chances that Americans started these fires? What exactly started these fires? Has there been an official determination? It wasn't climate change, so climate change obviously wasn't trying to glean political advantage from this. So who is trying to glean political advantage from all this? The answer to that question, is likely the force responsible for these fires, at this particular moment in history. I hope these hamfisted, political con artists understand that they are no longer being afforded the benefit of the doubt, but are instead under increased scrutiny by the very people they are trying to con.
US president thinks that making US citizens pay more tariffs of Canadian goods will do something about the fires in Canada. Meanwhile smoke from Minnesota, North Dakota, Utah-Colorado crosses into Canada!
It is far better rn that it was yesterday. Instead of detroit and chi at 300 AQI the whole eastern US is just at 80 AQI. Hopefully it will start to get back to normal after the weekend.
Canada's Boreal Forest isn't a neighborhood park—it’s one of the largest intact ecosystems on Earth. 🌲
It covers roughly 1.3 billion acres (526 million hectares). That is an area comparable to the entire United States. Much of this land is true, remote wilderness with no roads, no airstrips, and absolutely no way for crews to physically reach many of these areas.
When you factor in climate change—which is driving hotter, drier, and longer summers—this vast, inaccessible region turns into a massive tinderbox. Fighting these fires is a heartbreaking and monumental challenge for our country. It’s not "mismanagement." In a wilderness this massive, traditional fire prevention isn't just difficult—it’s physically impossible.
But hey, we always appreciate the casual advice from down south! 🙄 We’ll get right on managing and raking our 1.3 billion acres of wilderness just as soon as you guys figure out the metric system. In the meantime, if anyone wants to volunteer to hike 500 kilometers into the roadless, bear-filled bush with a plastic leaf rake, we’ll happily point you north.

That's such a scary thought, Lorenzo. It's heartbreaking to think about how many people and animals are affected by the drifting smoke regardless of where the fire started.

That would be a wild twist, Vincentius! Do you think that's actually how they'll handle the cross-border smoke?
