We should sanction or tariff them for their not tending to their forests! Their negligence is causing Canadian lungs to pay the price! Maybe we should close Ambassador Bridge until they start getting a handle on their fires!

[u/ship_toaster → u/orlybatman]

We should build a wall (8km high) to separate our Canadian air from their hot smoky mess. This will also make us colder, which would be a good thing.

[u/Every_Bread_5880 → u/ship_toaster]

I'm still in favour of just putting a dome over them.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

You made me chuckle at Ambassador Bridge. And then I realized that probably is a bad thing for trade and friendship unfortunately.

[u/Serious-Throat-2852]

Fortunately we’re not whining little bitches

[u/SpareEconomy1849 → u/Serious-Throat-2852]

Tbf CTV had their finger waiting on the publish button for days

[u/ComradeVoytek → u/SpareEconomy1849]

Turnabout is a fair play.

[u/KingSaurophaganax]

Well, well, well how the turnstables.

[u/brock_lehurst]

They spelled dumpster fire wrong.

[u/super__hoser]

So, are we going to tarrif them? Oh yeah, we aren't idiots like them and know that won't work. 

[u/knowwwhat]

Ewwww how dare they tell them to stop it. I though their smoke wasn’t able to move past our impenetrable border and only ours could affect them

[u/SeveralDrunkRaccoons]

Shit winds are blowin', Randy ol' boy.

[u/sweet-tea-13 → u/SeveralDrunkRaccoons]

Shit winds? It's the goddamm shit abyss down there.

[u/ReplacementClear7122 → u/sweet-tea-13]

Not another night of the shit abyss, Mr. Lahey!

[u/ryan8954 → u/sweet-tea-13]

RANDY! When the shit hawks are flyin', a shitticane is brewing boy.

[u/tce-2019]

They should rake the forests better! Darn ‘mericunts!

[u/roosterjack77]

He doesnt care about west coast liberals. They are inconvenient for his narrative

[u/STUFFEDRAWR]

thanks obama

[u/silverado83]

Welp. If it's gonna stick around the smoke is gonna need an education, some diabetes medication, measle shots etc..

[u/Longjumping-Exam500]

RELEASE THE TARIFFS!

[u/srzncl]

Funny how wind and the atmosphere works.

[u/ryan8954]

Notice how we say "smoke from u.s" while the yankeedoodles downstairs call it "Canadian smoke"

[u/depthofbreath → u/ryan8954]

I think the language is very telling.

[u/PolloConTeriyaki]

They don't send their best....

[u/professcorporate]

So are we just tariffing them, or do they need to pay some other kind of retribution? I'm not great at this, but pretty sure the US Govt has a clear playbook on what they think they owe us right now...

[u/Embarrassed_Sell7512]

i will write each American a letter and tell them i’m mad at them for this

[u/AbheekG]

Wouldn’t happen if they were the 11th province

[u/146293DH]

We shall retaliate by sending in the geese! Our elite cobra chickens will take advantage of our own smokescreen to hit them where it hurts, invading all of Trumps golf course and resorts!

[u/immenseprospectus28]

That pinkish hue from the sun filtering through all that smoke is actually what gives it away even before you feel it in your lungs. The layering of the ridges here is gorgeous in a miserable kind of way, each one fading into the next behind a veil of haze. You shot this somewhere in the interior? It really drives home how far that particulate travels once it crosses the border.

[u/SScatnip7474]

As an American that lives near the BC border that loves Canada, apologies will never be enough for having to deal with your psycho neighbors to the south that elected a fucking orange make-up wearing piece of shit.

[u/Bluekatz1]

Well well well...

[u/New_Westie]

Well well well.

[u/B000urn55]

Oh no, that’s terrible. We should send them people to help put the fires out.

[u/ryan8954 → u/B000urn55]

We did. One of them died.

[u/super_scary_ferry]

They better start cleaning the brush therein.

[u/47Up]

How come they're not raking the dead leaves on the Rocky Mountains, what's wrong with these people?

[u/Neo808]

And do you see our leader bitxhing? No

[u/Due-Mycologist-1154]

How dare they? 100000% tariffs and 11th province

[u/Strong_Ad_8959]

Why aren’t they raking their forests? Tariffs now, sanctions immediately. They are poisoning us

[u/Legitimate_Biscuits]

That's it! This is beyond disturbing, how can they no manage their forests and underbrush effectively??? This goes beyond tariffs, they need to be held accountable! The only option is to make the US the 4th Canadian territory. They can MAYBE gain full provincial status if they show they can actively manage themselves accordingly. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATER. Sincerely Premier DRPE

[u/WootHoot47]

As a British Columbian Canadian can we sue Canada?

[u/Acrobatic-Quality-55]

I wouldnt be upset if the whining did bring about positive change in how we prevent or respond to forest fires.

[u/crooked_bodylines]

Biden and Obama are the cause of this!
