No, we’re still laughing at you, Donald.

Trump last night:

“America is respected like we have never been respected before”

[Paul’s Musings 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @pauls_musings]

The rift between Canada and the US will never be mended. Because of Trump, Canada has moved much closer to the EU, which is much better for us in my opinion.

[Rob Fai @RobFai]

Good for #WabKinew stepping up for Canadians, and firefighters from both sides of the border. Absolutely ridiculous that it even needs to be said, but in the world of the "ambulance chaser" I'm glad he said it in a way that should connect.

[Covie @covie_93]

America burns and Canada sends help.

Canada burns and trump sends threats.

[Co-op Tory 🍁 @CoopTory]

Americans will mock Canadian firefighters and then claim the sacrifice of our dead for themselves.

[🇨🇦🍁SillyRabbitFaFo🍁🇨🇦 @sillyrabbitfafo]

Telling Canada to rake its forests is like telling the US to drain the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea before hurricane season

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

When California was burning, Canada sent fire fighters, planes and assistance — not insults.

I was proud to meet them, and to thank them, when they would break for dinner.

As California and other states step up to repay the favor, we should do so without the threats and ramblings of a failing leader.

We should show some humanity.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Wall Street has always chased an edge. Donald Trump just found a way to sell one.

Truth Social is reportedly offering special access to Trump's posts seconds before everyone else—valuable time when his comments can move markets. For thousands of dollars.

If you think the wealthy play by a different set of rules, this is exactly what that looks like.

[Barb in Alberta☕🍁🇺🇦Resist Spread truth Rest up @barbetta1]

You purposely omitted that the man who died was Canadian. Nicolas Dale was a Canadian firefighter. He died this week fighting the wild fire in Colorado.

[Canadian eh 🇨🇦 @MarcInTheCity]

Americans are angrier about forest fire smoke than they are about their youth being shot in schools.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Extreme heat waves and record-breaking dry conditions are resulting in one of the most intense wildfire seasons in Canadian history. The fires are especially devastating in Northwestern Ontario, where more than 10 communities have already been evacuated.

In response to the devastating fires, Canada is taking an all-hands-on-deck approach.

More than 5,300 firefighting personnel have been deployed across the country. Nearly 300 aircraft are in the field — from waterbombers and helicopters to evacuation aircraft. We are leveraging data, drones, new technology, and advanced thermal imaging to support real-time detection and mitigation efforts.

On behalf of Canadians, I extend my gratitude to the first responders and volunteers who are on the frontlines. We will mobilise every resource needed to keep Canadians safe.

[Bloomberg @business]

Pres. Trump is threatening Canada with tariffs for the wildfire smoke over the U.S.
Bloomberg News Senior White House reporter @josh_wingrovetells @EenaRuffini.“Some of the stuff Trump says goes off the back of Canada and Canadians. Other stuff, they find particularly insulting. And I think this this risks being in that second bucket because the country has spent so much time helping America fight its forest fires.”

Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?

[DJ @DjCheshier]

Canada’s boreal forest — the source of much of the wildfire smoke drifting into the U.S. — isn’t like our managed forests in the lower 48.
It’s the largest intact forest ecosystem on Earth: roughly 1.3 billion acres (about 78 times larger than Alaska’s Tongass, our biggest national forest, and 7 times larger than all 154 U.S. National Forests combined). It stretches in an almost continuous belt from the Yukon to Newfoundland.
Why can’t they just do controlled burns like we do here?
Because most of it is remote, roadless wilderness.
• Less than 9% of Canada’s population lives in the boreal region.
• Less than 1% of the forest itself is developed.
• Vast areas have no roads and are only accessible by aircraft or winter roads.
You can’t send crews in to do prescribed burns across a billion+ acres of inaccessible terrain the way we can in populated areas near roads and communities in the U.S. Wildfire has been nature’s primary management tool in these ecosystems for thousands of years.
Smoke reaching the Northeast isn’t new either. It happened in 1950, 1988, 1995, 2002, 2017, 2021, 2023, 2025, and now 2026. Weather (especially upper-level wind patterns) determines where the smoke goes, not just where the fires are burning.
Blaming Canada’s government for “not controlling” these fires is political theater. The scale and inaccessibility make large-scale suppression or prevention across that wilderness fundamentally different — and in many places, practically impossible — from managing forests near U.S. population centers.
Nature runs that forest. Politicians don’t. Let’s stop pretending otherwise.

**THIS MAN WILL BE PM ONE DAY!** 🇨🇦

Wab Kinew just fired back at those American Congress ambulance chasers hunting for cheap Instagram clicks instead of doing their actual jobs. While real heroes — including American firefighters — battle our wildfires and save lives, these politicians politicize tragedy for likes.

No place for that during a state of emergency. Canada stands strong, handles our forests, and helps our neighbours. Proud of leaders who put people first.

NEW - Former B.C. Liberal MLA Mike Bernier is the new leader of Centre B.C., a party he says is needed more than ever given the B.C. Conservatives shift to the right under Kerry-Lynne Findlay and growing dissatisfaction with NDP under David Eby. #bcpoli

CBC needs to stop live-streaming Trump’s disinformation

For 100 years, the Royal Canadian Legion has stood with Veterans and their families. In rural communities, small towns, and big cities.

Today, we thank them for a century of dedication and service to our nation.

[Paul’s Musings 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 @pauls_musings]

The Trump regime plays the Canadian media like a fiddle. For some sick reason the media loves to platform all of their attack on Canada, like it’s some sort of sick fetish.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

"Thirty minutes after that social media post, Pete Hoekstra sat down with Global News for an exclusive interview and defended the president's threats."

Canadian media insisting on platforming Hoekstra are complicit in sanewashing Trump's attacks on Canada, and it needs to stop.
