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.

Zohran Mamdani message to those who are fearmongering about democratic socialism:

"The best response is to show what it actually means. What we've shown over the last six months is exactly that. The city with the Democratic Socialist's vision is one that paves more than 170,000 potholes, a city that has delivered the lowest recorded number of shootings and murders in NYC's history, a city that is on a pathway to universal childcare, fighting for people often left behind -- workers who we've secured more than $10M, for tenants more than $64 M.
These are all indicators of what is so scary for the rightwing."

@TrumpTruthOnX The inflation numbers don’t indicate that prices are going down. They indicate that they aren’t going up as fast as they were. 3.5% up in June versus 4.2% in May. You would expect a President to understand this.

@RapidResponse47 The POTUS is blatantly lying and wants innocent people put in jail for 10 years plus to cover up the fact that he paid someone to paint a pool and the company he hired fucked it up.
How can ANYONE be ok with this? The man commands the most powerful military in the world? WTF??

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@WhiteHouse So what if they did cheat? The republicans are in control of the Whitehouse, House and Senate right now. Is anyone's life any better today then it was in January 2025?
Still in another Middle Eastern war with raising fuel and food costs.

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@BamaSaltyMarine Trump was POTUS and it was his government and intelligence agencies, so who really is responsible IF there was any cheating in 2020?
BTW he didn't produce any records of the cheating. Just more claims that it "could" of happened, maybe.

@gralzy @Alice_MiaX The S & P is a measurement of corporate profits and NOT a measurement of the economy. The economy is measured by jobs, wages and consumer spending. All of those indicators are pointing to a poor economy for the average Joe but the rich are getting richer at a much faster rate.

@SecRubio @POTUS Without trust, there can be no greatness.
How in the fuck can you type something like that and then do the things you do?

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@storm1news Ah ha, I see their plan now. They are going to give every kid in america a brain worm. Which will ensure that future voters will be republicans. Those fuckers are diabolical.

@atrupar If communism is so bad, then someone should ask Trump if that means Putin and russia are the most evil motherfuckers on planet. If he says that Putin and Russia are good then ask him how communism can be bad.

@EricLDaugh Lmfao!! Stephen Miller is making fun of how someone else looks? Stephen Miller? The guy who looks like his mother mated with a rat is making fun of other people's looks? Really?

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@RapidResponse47 @SenEricSchmitt Dude, Trump has been found guilty of fraud, rape, is listed in the Epstien files and had classified documents stored in the bathroom of his country club. If he is not suppose to be investigated, then who the fuck is?

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@FoxNews This Trump guy so dumb it should end with a capital B.

@ShadowofEzra Really?? I thought all those group were funded by George Soros? I am having a really hard time keeping track of who I am suppose to be scared of.

@PeteHegseth OH MY GOD!! LOOK AT THE PENIS ON THAT GUY!! I think it might the smallest penis that I have ever seen. Poor fella was born with low-T and a little penis. No wonder he spends so much time explaining to us how manly he is.

@RobWetterholtJr It is a secret plot by Canada to make Ontario hotter then hell year round so that the snowbirds stop going to Florida for the winter. Devious bastards to the north, I tells ya.

[Lobo @TimSear85158585]

@RapidResponse47 Thank fuck america isn't a communist country where the federal government tells the state government what they are allowed and not allowed. FREEDOM!!

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

MAGA stupids will often show up on my timeline and tell me I should “fix my own country.”

It’s adorable that people living in a country with mass shootings, medical bankruptcies, politicians banning rights & a pedophile in the White House somehow think Canada is the fixer-upper.

@RonFilipkowski For fuck sake keep that shit away from the Navy. LOL!

@rothschildmd You are probably typing on a machine made out of parts from China. China the country with the second highest GDP in the world and the country with 1100 billionaires (second only to USA). Now excuse me while I get my papers in order before ICE knocks on my door.
