Trump says he'll be 'holding Canada responsible' for wildfire smoke
U.S. President Donald Trump says he plans to hold Canada accountable for wildfire smoke blowing across the border, vowing the cost will be added to the American tariffs.
"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 unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable," Trump posted on Truth Social Friday afternoon.
He said the wildfire smoke amounts to "Willful Negligence" and is "becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying."
Trump also mentioned in his post that he would be calling Prime Minister Mark Carney "to find out what they are going to do about it."
American politicians in Congress have criticized Canada's response to the wildfires that have burned across the country in recent days , including with remarks that "sovereignty comes with responsibility."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Friday that while he "truly believe[s] the Americans are good neighbours," he added: "if there's some politicians out there chirping away, well, maybe what you should do rather than complain is send support, send help, because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends. And that's what you're supposed to do."Since 1982, Canada and the U.S. have been a part of the Canada/United States Reciprocal Forest Fire Fighting Arrangement, which is "an exchange of diplomatic notes is the legal instrument for resource exchange between [Canadian Interagency Forest Fires Centre] CIFFC member agencies and United States Federal Fire Management Agencies."

What an asshole that man is. FIRSTLY, the smoke over the eastern USA is NOT just from Canada:
SECONDLY, has the USA been helping to put out the fires in Canada?
THIRDLY Trump has exacerbated the Global Warming that is causing the proliferation of wildfires by discouriaging EVs, windfarms, methods to reduce global warming and instead encouraging "Drill baby drill".
From the Frazier Institute:
More specifically, Tymstra et al. find that Canada has failed to fund the proactive management of forest fires sufficiently and is not poised to do better moving forward. “Wildfire management agencies in Canada are at a tipping point. Presuppression [sic] and suppression costs are increasing but program budgets are not.” But clearly, a lack of fire suppression is also a problem: “Wildfire suppression contributes to a wildfire problem but paradoxically it is wildfire use that will help to solve this problem. The wildfire management toolbox must include wildfire use to manage wildfires at the landscape scale because it is not feasible to effectively use prescribed burns and/or fuel management treatments alone to restore expansive wildfire-dependent ecosystems.” That’s a somewhat academic long-winded way of saying you need to fight fire with fire, but the point is valid nonetheless.
Canada is having a hell of a fire season, there’s no disputing that. And it’s producing hellish landscapes across Canada and North America. What it is not, however, is a call to more of the same old “climate action.” But rather, a call for more sane real-world real-time management of fire risk in Canada’s forests, a practise that Canadian governments have failed at for decades.
One can only hope that this fire season will light a fire under Canada’s fire-foolish policymakers, and finally motivate them to take the rational course—fighting fire risk with fire use, rather than pointing to the climate sky gods and calling for appeasement measures that will not affect Canada’s risk of forest fires.
I guess America's firefighters don't fight fire with fire either. Nor do the ones in Europe. So maybe Canada should burn down its forests so there's no more risk of forest fires. I can't open the link, so did the Frazier Institute indicate how to fight a forest fire, or just post criticism?
Basically the report says that Canadian policies on forestry, similar to California's is the problem.
There are 33 million acres of forested land in California. 57% is owned by the federal government and 40% is privately owned. Only 3% is owned by the state including land trusts.
Kissing Trump "Big Ulgy Arse" must be attractive for some dumbfucs.
What else can this idiot (Trump) blame the rest of the world for ?????
I believe it is quite a list.
Hilarious coming from a member of the party that blames Trump for EVERYTHING that goes wrong in their lives...including dumb life decisions.
Trump is constantly damaging this nation. There is no shortage of damage by this idiot to justify legitimate blame.
Do you support his war with Iran? Do you believe the blood and treasure he spent improved the situation or made it worse?
Like thinking about Trump 24/7?
Trump is negatively affecting, with the exception of a few of the richest in the world, in a distinctly NEGATIVE way, that thinking individuals are positive of.

it already is....
budsy: Is there a reason why you label yourself as "budsy"?
Put a tariff on the smoke.
Trump is often his own worst enemy.
There is no filter between his brain and his mouth. That is OK sometimes but other times someone should be there with a cattle prod when he starts going off the rails.
...and when he falls asleep at an event.
He doesn't say anything dumb when he is asleep. Why wake him up?
LOL Good idea.
His own enemy and Ares!
Fugazi this POS! He is stinking up the entire world. His "Dirty Diapers" and big and loose.
I would rather have them supply HEPA air filters to every family effected.
Dream away. This situation makes me think back to when Canada was victimized by the acid rain that blew over from the USA. It affected the lake where I had my lakeside chalet.
He is a shockingly stupid man.
By the way, we have fires burning out west that are sending smoke into Canada. What are the chances Trump will be compensating them for it?
Anyone who thinks so is also liable to believe he can buy the Gordie Howe bridge.
Maintaining forests is important. Canada and California don't do that. In the case of California where water is so important, reservoirs were not maintained either
Not true.
Also not true.
5,000 firefighters battling blazes as Canada faces 'intense' wildfire season: Carney
Prime Minister Mark Carney says more than 5,000 firefighters and nearly 300 waterbombers and other aircraft are battling blazes as Canada experiences one of the worst wildfire seasons on record.
Carney said he visited federal workers in Ottawa on Sunday morning who are helping with wildfire response efforts in northwestern Ontario and across the country.
Nearly 1,000 wildfires are blazing from coast to coast, according to the national wildland fire summary.
Carney says extreme heat waves and dry conditions have made this year "one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history."

And who in the whole world is REFUSING to do what is necessary to control the global warming that is causing wildfires to proliferate?
One of the great problems of today's world, probably climate change contributes greatly to it. A foretaste of what we in Australia will face in the coming summer, more intense than past fire seasons, and they were bad enough.
We are grateful the help received from Canada, New Zealand, US in form of equipment, volunteer firefighters etc.
Overpopulation, I keep saying that is the problem they refuse to address
From what I"ve been reading, apparently birth rates are dropping, and people are having less children because of the expense. What do you suggest should be done to reduce the population?
Birthrates falling is a good start, need to encourage the trend
Some won't like my suggestions but here are a few
Quality over quantity
education,
birth control covered by insurance and encouraged, more research
abortion, covered by insurance
Accept that overpopulation is a big problem
greatly reduce immigration and migration
That is a few things to start on
Good points.
Vic: Have you visited Canada or California?
Weed out the
who follow the WORST POTUS in the History of the United States of America.
With a shockingly stupid and servile crisis management team that always comes out and desperately tries to normalize the stupid and crazy.
What's he going to do, hit them with his purse?
Canada is not sending us their best air quality.
I was just joking yesterday that it was about time for Trump to start making threats to Canada about the smoke. I don’t know why I delude myself into thinking this wouldn’t actually happen. This is the fucking moron who opined about setting off a nuclear bomb in a hurricane.
Trump is a walking, talking THREAT to mankind, universally!
I heard these fires might burn for years.
Nature is going to win this war, especially when it has Trump's America on its side.
A decent, smart president would pitch in to help our allies. TRUMP is neither decent nor an ally to anyone but PUTIN!
Fuck Trump.
Right on TiG.
If Canada in Trumps' eyes owes US, what does Trump owe the entire world ? Between his ILLEGAL tariffs, his illegal ill advised Iran War that has cost the entire world Trillions, his unbelievably stupid reversal on renewable energy sources and emphasis on drill baby drill ( which hasn't happened and wouldn't bring our gas and oil prices down anyway as OPEC and markets determine prices) and his directed US with drawl from key climate treatirws and 65 other global organizations that deal with climate change. The world might want to ho;d US Accountable for quite a bit, cause 47, equals POS
TRUMP & his minions of INCOMPETENCE, SYCOPHANTS must be impeached!
Obvously it takes a political article to fire up any action around here, so I'm not going to waste as much of my time posting articles that are too esoteric to gain much interest. I had a more rewarding day watching 4 movies I never saw before - Lakeview Terrace, with Samuel L Jackson; Big Miracle, about saving stranded whales in Alaska; The Dead Pool, a Dirty Harry movie; and Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman and Paul Giametti. Bet nobody else has watched 4 regular movies in one day.
Absolutely correct Buzz - and it's so sad to see how low the conversations have gotten. I mean, if you can't say something "bad" 'bout T-T-T-T-R-R-R-R-U-U-U-U-M-M-M-M-P-P-P-P-P. then you don't need to be posting.
Wife wants to watch "Obsession" with Michael Jordan, so I watched Ryan Gosling's "Hail Mary" - really interesting movie - might deserve a repeat review. Take a chance with Brandon Frazier in "The Whale" and "Pressure" - great shows - super acting - I think you might enjoy the time spent.
I'm limited to the movies that are on the movie web site I have access to. It's pretty good, enables me to see a lot of movies I've never seen before and some really good ones I don't mind watching again. If any of the ones you mentioned come up I'll watch them cause I particularly seek ones I've never seen before.
What do you expect when Trump almost daily does something new to damage the USA, enrich himself, or abuse the powers of his office for vindictive or self-aggrandizement reasons? Of course he will be discussed, and of course he will be criticized for all his stupid and wrong words and deeds. What patriot would sit back silently while this psychopath runs roughshod over our nation ... or complain that others are voicing their objections to this wholly unfit abysmal human being?
[deleted][✘]
Trump disrespects American Indians [deleted] [✘] He disrespects everyone who doesnt kiss his ass (and he has said so - he judges people according to how nice they are to him [personally.deleted] [✘] )
The guitar is out of tune. The singer is totally off-key. Music to magas ears.
Maybe, but the words are true.
Yep. Here are the lyrics. And he sings them with such feeling:
"I'm a lying piece of shit.
I'm disgusting filth degrading America.
And maga love me, love me, love me!
Owooo!!!!"
you really want to flaunt this fact...? WOW
I like your lyrics better
Uh huh
Under other circumstances I would say the president was "my" president no matter who he was. Not with this dickhead.
Better than denying the simple fact.
And yet he is your president. Assuming you live in the u s of course
Trump would be the first to say he's not everyone's president. He's only the president for those who worship and adore him.
Sing along!
Opinions do vary.
He's singing their song of 'Ban abortion, kill civil rights and voting rights, and free white religious conservatives from the bondage of being labeled ignorant white misogynistic religious bigots'. They're not going to stop being ignorant white misogynistic religious bigots, it's just Trump rebranded that into MAGA and convinced them it's 'cool' to be a greasy poorly educated religious bigot conspiracy theorist.
He does say that! So since I fucking hate his guts he would tell me he's not my president!
But facts don't
Then he would be wrong
As usual. About everything. Except that. He doesn't think he's all Americans' president. And he certainly never acts like he is.
You have no defense for this lunatic so you resort to a lame taunt.
Given that you cannot defend Trump on the merits, that should be a red flag. Criticizing Trump’s wrongdoing and the damage he has done to our nation is justified and patriotic. Pathetic attempts to taunt those who raise legitimate objections are not.
Maybe...but he is still your president
I am unable to open that image. Please describe it, or save it from the source to your computer picture library and then post it here from there.
It is a meme of trump singing i am your president
Okay, no problem, because after all, NT is mostly the "Love Trump vs Hate Trump" show.
aka 'those in denial vs those who see Trump for the corrupt incompetent weasel he is'. He may be these mentally challenged bigots President, and be in control of the executive, but real patriotic Americans don't consider him their President. Patriotic Americans know Trump is just a slimy coward con man who convinced the absolute dumbest among us to give him to keys to the Whitehouse and will go down in history as the worst most delusional scum bag dick-tater America has ever had to suffer through.
Or some folks that are in the middle where reality lies and at least has enough of a grasp on it to know who the president is and the fact he won't be in a couple of years. Ergo no twisted panties caused by outrage over everything he does or says.
Trump has done plenty of damage in two years and will almost certainly continue to damage this nation (and the world).
Trump is a serious problem right now and you are pretending that none of it matters.
I am doing fine and confident I will be doing fine after Trump
The country is doing fine and I am confident it will be fine after Trump.
Trump has already done immense damage to this country.
That is blindness. Our nation is NOT doing fine. What causes people like you to ignore the damage Trump is doing to this nation?
Hell, you can just look at one item, the Iran war, and recognize the damage Trump has caused and the real repercussions on the USA, et. al. Given that is just one item with many more, how you can pretend that everything is fine is laughably absurd. What do you think you accomplish by pretending everything is just fine?
ICE is the new KGB
According to Gemini:
Yes, be patient, there are only going to be a couple more years of disaster to be concerned about. But who knows, with the help of a biased SCotUS, maybe yet ANOTHER 4 years after that. After all, it's already put Trump ABOVE the law, has it not?
ICE is apparently an organ of an authoritarian 2 party state ( currently) that routinely operates outside the bounds of traditional due process
He is going to sodomize the poor guy, if he can figure out how
That doesn't look Graham Platner, who Democrats voted to represent them despite his publicly bragging about how he wanted to rape men...
No, but it looks exactly like Donald Trump, who would fold you over a barrel.
If you say so. I don't really spend much time thinking about men wanting to rape other men. Some will, of course, tell you they want to rape other men, and that's disturbing. Before this year I would have have thought disqualifying for a politician. Others fixate on the topic and constantly post about other men having gay sex, forced or not. Very odd.
Well, anyone wanting to rape anyone, by definition, is more than disturbing, it is disqualifying.

IMO this is starting to go too far off topic, so any continuation of it will be deleted.
My favorite song, song an artist, not someone that sings from his glutamuous maximus!
Dirty Diaper Donnie is "Always Arse Backwards"
How many innocent people have they shot this week?
Two pretty fun movies.
I haven't been watching much of anything lately. My wife and I watched the Ride or Die season 1 on Prime and I watched Sisu: Road To Revenge myself last night on Netflix.
I dunno 'bout the Deadpool 1 & 2 - cute, but, IMHO, way too much slathering language. I like Ryan in a lot of his flicks - 'specially the "Hitman" with Mr. "MF" Jackson
I liked Ryan in the first season, but I have not watched anything since... Too busy
I watched three Jason Stathon movies back to back and then started streaming Agent Kim Reactivated this Saturday.
I had to rent Shelter for $1.77, lol.
Somewhere between Friday and Saturday night I did see Hail Mary, interesting concept which tries to explain evolution, ancient architecture by the moon being a billion year old ark
which surprisingly had intact Dyan wheels full of live farms but no people, a fleet of super space ships capable of building the pyramids etc
and lots of unanswered questions.
Left in control of two new AI characters who died killing the other AI monster.
Weird.
Starting to like the Jason Stathon shows. Lot of folks don't see the morale issues he brings out - and Shelter (which is on Showtime at no extra charge) is a pretty good example.
JMHO
But, speaking of Jason's - Jason Momoa's "Road to Paloma" - wow - deep on quite a few levels.
I think I saw it many years ago, i will have to see it again I guess.
Buzz of the Orient, we are sticking by you!
Not Trump's Wipers!
Being loyal to me is always appreciated.
Well over 100 comments - VERY unusual for any of my articles - can't remember the last time. However, it has strayed SO far off the topic that I can't handle it any more. So it has had a great run, but now it's over. I'm locking this article, and thanks to all who took it so far.
