Smoky sunsets as Canadian wildfire smoke reaches Great Lakes and Northeast
Trump is threatening Canada with additional tariffs because wildfire smoke drifted into the United States. When America burns, Canada sends firefighters. When Canada burns, Trump sends tariffs.
Canada should sue Trump for his war on clean energy in favor of fossil fuels which heat the environment, igniting fires in Canadian Forests, which cause smoke pollution.
Canadians were so proud when Californians saw what this baby could do
We (Colorado) actually had a Canadian firefighter die while fighting one of our fires, this past Sunday. Trump probably doesn’t know but it’s more likely he doesn’t care. His goal is to hate on every ally until we’re left completely alone with no help when we need it.
Fuck him, I love Canada 🙏🏻
It’s embarrassing. Canada sends firefighters to help us, but DJT treats a climate crisis like an excuse to extort “wildfire smoke” tariffs from them. Dude doesn’t know how to govern w/o bully tactics.
Not a few years ago, the people living in the western provinces were choking with the smoke from fires in Washington state. Canada will be applying tariffs each time wildfire crosses the border and Also each time Trump lies. Thank you for your attention to this matter #Canada
Not only do we send firefighters, but a firefighter from BC died today while helping to control wildfires in Colorado. The US pedo-in-chief should stfu. Better: someone binds his hands with Superglue, sticks a sock in his mouth, and takes away all his electronics.
OMFG, what an idiot 🙄 hey @jennlongs.bsky.social could you all keep that smoke within your borders SMH
Absurdity! Wildfire smoke is not imported product. Tariffs are not a fire-management tool. Same logic, AZ could “tariff” the fed gov't because smoke from fire near Sedona drifted. I want my tariff funds for your mismanagement of smoke/forest. #Pinks #Proudblue #Blues www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
Oh 🍊. Another fact check. He should be used to them now.
Could for one day that vile pig not tell a lie! 🤬 #Blues
Canada sent help in LA fires…why doesn’t the US return the favor..? Cuz we have a felon for POTUS…THAT’S WHY..!
To be fair, Trump is the dumbest motherfucker who has literally ever lived.
Trump is crazy and everyone knows it.
This orange person is not normal. We really need to demand a full medical report of his mental capacity. Or lack thereof. And right now, before he does any more damage to our country.
Especially since his fav slogan is "drill baby drill" for the whole world to hear. Up the oil production + reduce environmental protections all the while your own people are suffering extrordinary environmental disasters. Yeah hes had no effect on forest fires! Fkng loser! #Blues
Can someone tell dumb 🍊 don (with a b) That every Canadian has remote control that powers our wind farm turbines. At any time any Canadian can push a button to control which way the wind blows. Sometimes when kids behave we let them use the controller kind of like Hegseth plays video war games!
Trump threatens higher tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke: “Canada has refused to engage in basic Forest Management and Debris Removal”
A reminder: higher tariffs on Canadian goods mean higher prices for American consumers
Time to stop sending our firefighters to the US. Why risk their lives for this buffoon and his idiot followers
Canada came to our aid to help fight our wildfires! They also fought alongside us in our forever wars. Unempathetic ingrates.
This is so embarrassing. 😞
Time to rake those forests again...
Like when Canada sent our firefighters to the US to help, and didn’t blame the US?!
This orange jello mold has never stepped foot in a forest. But he keeps talking like he's Paul fuckin' Bunyan. This is not how forest management works. At all.
No, the entities responsible for the fires and myriad climate related disasters are the fossil fuel executives, Republican Party officials, and the climate denying suckers who believe all of the above.
Please tell Cheetoh in return we’ll send him a bill for the acid rain cleanup. Plus 30 years of interest.
There are 3,000 fires burning in Canada due to lightning strikes from thunderstorms they don't normally get. They didn't get enough snow this year to stop most of the fires. Snowpack is gone. This is climate change Trump. Some of these fires are very hard to contain if not impossible
I just departed NY, a city blanketed in wildfire that—for the health of players & fans—should very much not be hosting a World Cup final. “These are high-level athletes who are moving a lot of air through their lungs,” said Dr. @courtghoward.bsky.social grist.org/extreme-weat...
Turns out an 80 year-old man with some health issues is going to be in attendance. Between the booing and the smoke, I don’t think he’s going to have a very good time.
I saw that projections are OK for Sunday (as you state in the piece), but I was concerned seeing Instagram stories from players exploring NYC the last couple days with no masks - I hope it doesn’t negatively impact them. I also understand wanting to explore, for many of them, 1st time being in NYC!
Move the game to Atlanta's indoor stadium. Just do it. FIFA needs to stop wasting time and just take action.
Move it to Mexico where Trump can't interfere.
"Emergency back-up stadium" needs to become part of standard planning for big sports events. Hurricanes. Smoky air. Earthquakes. Civil unrest. Lots of stuff can happen. There should always be a contingency plan in place.
The best venues have been in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Seattle.
Holding mega events during climate disasters adds a huge burden on already burdened healthcare systems. Having grown up in a part of NYC where kids regularly died of asthma attacks I am well aware of who will shoulder the burden. FIFA could move the match, they won't though.
I know it would have maybe been one of the biggest hassles in a long, long time. But I feel like FIFA could have gotten ahead of this and looked at Atlanta or Dallas days ago. Yes, fan accommodations & travel, etc would have been a nightmare, but they needed to give it serious consideration.
DAMN, did we forget to rake our forests this year? 🤦♀️ Also see: wilderness “We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessaril ... BLAH BLAH BLAH #Pinks www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
Canada's response was "you killed EPA. You're the biggest contributor to global warming. 40K a year die in your country from asbestos. You can chew the air over LA." (I'm paraphrasing but you get the point) Oh, and there was a "FU" at the end. Quote.
Hey can't we just all admit that we're all connected on this earth?
I was reading a article just the other day about a Canadian Fire fighter killed in the US while helping fight a wild fire there. Canadians die helping our US brothers while getting this in response.
Donald Trump is a f****** idiot...a damn moron. And I don't need to tell you how he's a malignant narcissistic pedophile.
What this week’s smoke invasion of North American cities looks like. More than anything, these photos just make me tremendously sad:
My heart goes out to Canadians for whom it’s even worse
The western US has been putting up with this for a couple of decades now. R administrations in MT, ID, etc, never did squat, never raised a stink (see what i did there?).
I'm currently in Leelanau County, Michigan on vacation. One of the most beautiful places anywhere on earth, but it's been horrific the last few days.
Yes, I live outside Chicago & I couldn’t understand why it was so hazy outside. Then I remembered - really depressing
President Donald Trump was furious with Canada on Friday as wildfires and smoke prompted major air quality concerns for the Midwest and Northeast.
He really shouldn't be allowed in public.
When we had wildfires Canada sent planes to help fight it. Trump is such an asshole 🤬
Feel free to pick any of the red dots in the remote northern forests of Canada and help fight the hundreds of fires if you don't like the smoke: bsky.app/profile/dart...
But causing as much pollution as possible is one of his central policies.
When we had huge wildfires, they sent people and help. Apparently we’re not going to send planes or help, we’re just going to complain. 🤬🙄😝
The biggest, worst, most destructive pollution today? Donny Dump himself.
Someone should tell him that wind turbines would blow the smoke back at Canada.
Maybe Kash can go and arrest the smoke.
This is a man who should be in an old person’s home or a mental institution.
It's the Smoke Monster from LOST.
The US has about 68 large wildfires across 15 states, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. Smaller fires push the total number much higher. But Trump is only complaining about the Canadian wildfires’ smoke coming into the country. He says the pollution costs must be paid with Tariffs.🔄
This idiot needs to be removed!! He’s nuts!!!
The Canadian firefighters have helped us with those large fires too!
Trump must be paid for in tariffs
Almost funny. Smoke knows no borders and what goes around comes around. Maybe sending USA firefighters to help instead of bashing Canada would be an option? Canadian firefighters are helping fight USA fires. We know this bec one just lost his life doing so. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Wouldn't it be cheaper if we just bought them a bunch of rakes?
Trump is now threatening to enact further tariffs on Canada due to wildfire smoke. The circus is never-ending, folks! 🔗 Source: www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
Time to tell #merica to go fuck itself.
That 🍊 🤡 is a national embarrassment and an indictment of the pdf-supporting party
And yet the dumbest of Canadians want us to bow to trump and get back to "the great friendship" we had. Too stupid to realize that ain't ever happening for a looooong while.
Will someone to go f… himself but before that ask if he is going to do anything about tornadoes, hurricanes and heatwaves that come up to Canada through the US. God I hate that person.
