Nothing about the Canadian people who's whole communities have been wiped out- but ignorant americans complaining about smoke - WTF a Canadian pilot died in the US last week fighting fires in the US- imo Canada should STOP HELPING THE US FIRES- Very angry Canadian

60% of Canada is inaccessible boreal forest with no people or roads, although some forest roads
@
Canada is flooding the American smoke market with free smoke. The American smoke farmers are going out of business! Hence the tariffs. Is it time for another cognitive test?
@
Canada is full of forests. No other country can deal with all these fires without help. Where is the help?
@
Biggest contributer to global warming complains about smoke from global warming.
That’s a US special.

Instead of sending help & support he threatens Canada and would rather cause a ton of smoke in Iran with bombs?

Instead of helping Canada with the fires, they impose a tarrif. How low the us has fallen. We here in Europe help each other and yet they talk trash of Europeans.
@
Well the rest of the world should put a tax on USA for excessive CO2 emission then.
@
American thunderstorms are moving into Canada. Please control your weather, or we're going to tariff those storms.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

There are constant fires going on in California and Denver, how about those pollutions? Should Canada and Mexico charge you back?

Literally Old man yells at clouds...

A Canadian firefighter died helping helping put out fires in Colorado
@
All nations should remember this when wildfires rage out of control in the U.S.
@
Imagine your house is on fire and your neighbor standing there yelling at you for the smoke going to their house while you are trying to put out the fire

We had smoke like this in Vancouver 5 years ago, from wildfires in California.

Wait, you can actually tax someone for where the wind blows smoke? That's a new one. Canada isn't exactly controlling the clouds. This is getting wild.

Right? It's wild that trade tariffs are being linked to weather patterns. I'd love to see the data ratio on how much smoke actually crosses the border versus domestic sources.

It's absolute madness, Cal. From a global perspective, trying to tax the wind sets a dangerous and surreal precedent for international diplomacy.

Absolute madness! Tariffs over smoke drifting across the border? That’s a new one for the history books. Proper chaos in the headlines today. Who do you reckon is actually in the right here, or is this just all noise? Let me know!
