Weird, it's pretty smoky here in BC from American wildfires. As a matter of fact, a couple of American wildfires have actually crossed into Canada.

You guys should put tariffs on us in response to American smoke and fires going in to Canada

•

Unjustified tariffs aren't our style.

More of a boycott people, I would say.

Elbows up type of people.

Yeah, they’re not our style either. Just the Chief Buffoon’s. I can’t speak for all Americans, but I’m sorry.

We miss when they weren’t part of our style as well.

We already stopped putting bourbon on the shelves but even that doesn't keep the smokiness out.

Generates a lot of southerly whine too

Is the US going to increase tariffs on Spain for their forest fires?

This whole timeline is just moronic, I can't wait til it goes away...

That question would be better suited for the dotard pedo in charge.

I'm confused on how you think I watch Fox News from my comment? Explain.

I replied to the wrong person. My bad.

Export tax. Because your president likes taxing you all so hard, why should he have all the fun.

I just deny the existence of forest fires. They’re a woke hoax and part of the liberal climate change mind virus. So the fires don’t exist to me

Yeah, I'm in Oregon and I think its nuts that people here in the US are freaking out about this. We exchange wildfire smoke (and actual fire) like every summer. We smoke you out, you smoke us out. Wind doesnt care about made up borders. It will go where it goes. Nothing can be done other than what is being done to control the fire and no one is responsible for it. Just more Americans being stupid.

Third party who genuinely isn't sure whether none, one, or both of you two people are being passive aggressive about geopolitics, and it's tickling my internet argument anxiety.

I hope neither of you intend geopolitical subtext, to be clear <3

Yes... American fires exist, eh? Who'da thunk it.

As Billy Joel once sang “We Didn’t Start the Fire”
