it's almost as if the Climate... Changed...

[Matt LaBelle @mattlabelle]

To our American friends, this is a map of forests in North America.

347 million hectares of wilderness in highly remote areas cannot be contained by “proper forest management”.

These are enormous, mostly uninhabited areas that are prone to lightning strikes causing wildfires.

It’s time to end subsidies to American owned tabloids.

The people loudest about calling climate change a hoax are awfully angry at the results of climate change.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

When wildfires hit America, Canada sends firefighters.

When wildfires hit Canada, America sends tariffs.

[Chris Gailus @chrisgailus]

It’s VERY smoky in Osoyoos, BC right now, with smoke from the Kaiser Canyon fire blowing up from Washington State. If you won’t manage your forests to prevent these fires there’s no telling what we’ll do. *see how stupid that sounds?

[Andrew Leach 🇨🇦 @andrew_leach]

The number of Canadians suggesting that we "rake the forests" that are, in some cases, hundreds of kilometers from a four-season road suggests we might need a better geography curriculum in our schools.

“nobody told me that climate change meant the climate would be different than how it used to be”

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Four days apart. One Canadian dies fighting wildfires in the U.S. Trump threatens Canada with tariffs over their wildfires.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Reminder: When fires ravaged southern California, Canada sent firefighting crews to help battle the blazes.

[Marc Lévesque @MarcLevesqueEco]

So, Andrew Scheer posts about Mark Carney being the worst PM in 60 years based on a completely meaningless benchmark without realizing that Harper is the second worst based on that dumb criteria. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

"Just put the fires out!"

Ever seen a boreal wildfire? I have. I used to fight them.

When fire behaviour becomes extreme, you're not getting close to them.

The radiant heat from a crown fire is face-melting from hundreds of metres away.

All attempts at direct attack will fail, because dropping water on it becomes akin to trying to spit on a campfire...it evaporates before it even hits the flames.

Additionally, reduced visibility, high winds, and turbulence makes aerial attack hazardous.

As a wildland firefighter, I've been extracted off of wildfires twice as our fires blew up, both times having our gear burned over. We returned to find firehoses and metal melted into the ash.

I've seen fireballs launched hundreds of feet high, and fires intense enough to produce lightning, influencing the weather around them. I've seen wildfires grow to the size of a major city in a short period of time.

So no, we can't just put the fire out.

Not being able to stop such a natural process is a truly humbling feeling.

They went full Karen after calling everyone else snowflakes.

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Hear me out: What if there will never be such thing as “enough” for these guys?

[𝒜𝓃𝓃ℯ 𝒥ℯ𝓃𝓈ℯ𝓃 @annemargaretj]

When wildfires happen in your country Canada offers support and sends our own firefighters to help. When it happens to us you get mad because we can’t control the weather?

[𝒜𝓃𝓃ℯ 𝒥ℯ𝓃𝓈ℯ𝓃 @annemargaretj]

The lack of humanity coming from Americans regarding the wildfires here in Ontario is disappointing but sadly not shocking. When it happens to them, we send water planes & our own firefighters. When it happens to our land & our people, they sneer & turn their backs. #neighbours

Oh hey look, it's consequences!
