The White House has just announced that it wants to hold Canada responsible for forest fires. What a nerve. The village idiot strikes again.
Experts have been repeating this for years. Climate warming, mainly caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO2, dries out soils and forests, prolongs droughts and increases the frequency, intensity and duration of fires.
The United States is by far the largest CO2 emitter in North America, with more than 90% of the continent's emissions. They themselves know of major fires, especially in California and in the American West.
They have also massively deforested their territory, built highways everywhere, created huge heat islands and spread their cities over thousands of kilometers. All of this increases heat and destroys natural environments.
The smoke crosses borders. The climate too.
Blaming Canada when the United States produces the vast majority of North American emissions, contributing massively to the greenhouse effect and destroying their own ecosystems, is completely absurd.
Canada is suffering the consequences of a North American problem mainly caused by them. It didn't create it alone.
This president is stupid beyond words.
Good news, even the Americans find it funny. More than half of the reactions on their official pages are
😂

Trump’s response to the wildfires is to…wait for it…raise the price of maple syrup and Molson for US consumers.

He’s such a smart guy.

Looking out my back porch this morning on what’s otherwise a typical summer day. How do you make a thousand foot mountain disappear?!

None of us knows the facts, but most of us would agree that the free trade with Canada is a good idea.

So, what's the problem? Who knows?? And while I don't want to do what I have accused others of doing, I.e. jump to conclusions, but if past experience is any indicator, it would not surprise me if, after coming to a preliminary agreement, The US decided to ask for more than what had been agreed to previously.

Canadians are "too nice" and Carney has been reasonable (seemingly) in his other financial deals.

But, really, who knows?

Trump’s deal-making abilities seem to be to come to an agreement and then show up to ratify the agreement with a completely different set of terms

Either way, I’m still waiting for the moment when Congress “reminds” the president that trade agreements are called “treaties” and are ratified in Congress
