The Canadian wildfires currently ruining our breathing is yet another data point showing there is nothing more dangerous to the environment than “environmentalists”.
🇨🇦 Look at this insane footage of a pilot flying right through those massive Canadian wildfire plumes.
With 830+ fires burning, they’re pumping smoke way up into the sky.
It’s drifting south and wrecking the air quality across the Midwest and Northeast.
Absolute climate chaos.

FINAL WARNING TO CANADA: Manage your forests to prevent these fires. American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year.
Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.
🚨 This is what it looks like when a government fails its own people!
Right now, northwestern Ontario is burning. Over 100 active wildfires. Mandatory evacuations in Armstrong, Collins First Nation, Whitesand First Nation, Lac des Mille Lacs, and surrounding communities. Some of these places have no road access — families are fleeing by boat, watching their entire world disappear behind walls of fire and smoke.
This photo was taken by people escaping Collins, Ontario. Look at it. That’s not just smoke. That’s a province on fire while Ottawa plays politics.
And once again, the most vulnerable are left scrambling. In remote areas, emergency plans for pets are almost nonexistent. Shelters are full. Transporting a 90+ lb dog in the middle of chaos is nearly impossible. These dogs didn’t ask for this. They’re paying the price for years of neglect — no real investment in prevention, no serious forest management, no water bombers when we needed them most.
Meanwhile, billions keep flowing to other countries while our own north burns and our own people are forced to run for their lives.
Southern Ontario is now choking on the smoke as a daily reminder. This isn’t someone else’s problem. This is Canada.
Every dog deserves a plan. Every Canadian deserves leaders who actually protect this country instead of virtue-signalling while it burns.
If you can help — foster, transport, donate, or share — the rescues on the ground need it right now.
This didn’t have to be this bad. But here we are.

A massive wall of smoke is seen rising over northern Ontario as wildfires continue to burn across the province.
This aerial footage, filmed near Thunder Bay by pilot Scott Hatton, shows just how far the smoke is spreading as dozens of wildfires burn across Ontario.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is now impacting Americans, pushing air quality across multiple states into the EPA's "unhealthy" to "hazardous" range.
Hey Ed Markey: The smoke over Massachusetts is from Canadian wildfires carried here by the wind. That’s a real public health issue. But “therefore we needed the Green New Deal” is a political conclusion, not evidence. Explain how that bill would have prevented smoke from Ontario from reaching Boston.
👁️🗨️ 'Patience has run out': Michigan members of Congress urge Canada to act on wildfires.
In response to the wildfire smoke blanketing Michigan and other parts of the northern Midwest, member of the U.S. Congressional delegation from Michigan have sent a letter to Canada's Prime Minister seeking action.
The letter from Republican Reps. Jack Bergman, John James, Lisa McClain and John Moolenaar cites repeated conversations with Canadian officials and a previous letter, which have so far culminated in what they called a "lack of meaningful progress."
The representatives wrote that continued inaction from Canada is unacceptable, maintaining its government has had years to address the underlying causes of worsening wildfires.
And yet, they said, American families continue to bear the consequences.
"We are done accepting apologies in place of action," the letter reads. "If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people."
The letter says the U.S. government could explore direct involvement in cross-border fuel reduction and firefighting capacity.
The members of Congress told Carney that sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country's airspace has not been met.

You can blame Canadian PM Carney and Trudeau for years of terrible wildfire management -
Republican lawmakers from Minnesota and Wisconsin have blamed Canada's terrible forest-management policies for contributing to years of out-of-control wildfires and yearly smoke plumes into the US.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is blanketing much of the U.S., triggering widespread air quality alerts as firefighters battle nearly 900 active blazes.
Millions of Americans are being warned about unhealthy air as smoke stretches from Minnesota to the New Hampshire, with major cities including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., under warnings.
The dangerous conditions have also forced evacuations in parts of Minnesota, while dramatic video shows a train crew surrounded by flames in northern Ontario before safely escaping.
Canadian Fires
The air quality is at a severe hazardous risk. Going outside yesterday was like going out in a dense smoke fog. The smoke in the air was causing eye irritation and coughing. Particularly annoying as all weekend plans will be canceled unless some heavy rain helps clean the air.
That smoke is coming from over 850 wildfires burning across Canada, mostly in Ontario, plus some in northern Minnesota. It’s hit the whole Great Lakes region hard, with Detroit having some of the worst air quality in the world yesterday, and alerts stretching from Minnesota through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into the Northeast.
In Western Michigan, I’m right in the thick of it, the state’s under an air quality alert through today, with PM2.5 levels very unhealthy or hazardous. The smoke’s even drifted as far south as Georgia and parts of Texas, though much lighter there. Thunderstorms might help clear it out this weekend, but staying inside as much as you can is recommended until then.
No one’s giving a firm date, these fires could keep burning through August and into fall until we get a good soaking rain or snow. Right now Canada’s got around 890 active fires, with hot dry weather forecast for northern Ontario and the areas feeding your smoke.
They’re hitting them with ground crews, water bombers, helicopters, and air tankers, Ontario alone’s got hundreds of firefighters and extra aircraft from other provinces and the feds. A lot of the remote ones they just monitor because they’re too far out to reach easily. The big hope is a weather shift to cool things down and bring moisture.
Michigan is literally paying the price for Canada’s incompetence.
Today, millions of Michiganders woke up to hazardous air because smoke from Canadian wildfires has engulfed our state.
Kids with asthma are being told to stay inside.
Seniors with COPD are struggling to breathe.
Outdoor activities everywhere are being cancelled.
Construction workers, landscapers, and countless others who work outside are breathing this air because of a crisis they had absolutely nothing to do with.
Here’s my question:
Who is standing up for Michigan?
Because someone should be.
While lightning has sparked many of this year’s fires, experts also say that how forests are managed can influence how large and destructive those fires become. When dead trees, fallen branches, and thick brush are left to pile up year after year, they become fuel. One lightning strike can quickly turn into a massive wildfire that’s nearly impossible to contain. That’s why forestry experts support removing dead vegetation, conducting controlled burns where appropriate, and creating firebreaks to help keep small fires from becoming catastrophic.
No one can prevent every wildfire.
But competent leadership prepares for predictable risks instead of making excuses after disaster strikes.
And that’s where my frustration is.
Michigan families didn’t create this problem.
Yet we’re the ones breathing hazardous air.
We’re the ones paying for inhalers, emergency room visits, missed work, canceled events, and the economic impact that comes with it.
So who’s picking up the tab?
Canada?
Of course not.
Michigan families are.
And where is our leadership?
Has Governor Whitmer demanded answers?
Has Attorney General Dana Nessel explored whether Michigan should seek compensation for the public costs associated with repeated smoke events?
Has anyone in Lansing stood up and said, “Enough. Michigan shouldn’t keep paying the price for another country’s failures”.
If they have, I haven’t seen it.
I have no interest in blaming people for acts of nature.
I do have a problem with governments that fail to prepare, fail to manage foreseeable risks, and then expect everyone else to live with the consequences.
This isn’t just Canada’s problem anymore.
When Michigan families are breathing the smoke, paying the medical bills, and suffering the economic consequences…
It becomes Michigan’s problem too.
And someone should start acting like it.
Canada's inability to mitigate, contain, and prevent its wildfires must be addressed. These annual fires significantly harm not only our health and quality of life, but also our economic prosperity. I have discussed this situation with our Ambassador in Ottawa, Peter Hoekstra, and have personally reached out to Canadian government officials.
I call on the Canadian Government to fully and regularly inform appropriate US agencies such as the EPA as to the status and mitigation action plan regarding the fires.
I also encourage Canada to work with the US government to find concrete solutions to address their ongoing wildfire problems. Michiganders must stop paying the price for bad policy.
Canadian wildfire smoke is choking the air across numerous U.S. states — where are the leftist climate activists?!
Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana are all under air quality alerts thanks to Canada’s out-of-control wildfires.
Where are Greta Thunberg’s flotillas demanding Canada fix its pollution crisis?
Where are the endless protests and media meltdowns calling out Canadian leaders?
Americans should not be forced to breathe hazardous air year after year because Canada refuses to properly manage its forests. This is no longer a one-time emergency—it’s becoming an annual public health crisis. That is unacceptable.
I am reaching out to Members of Parliament and the Canadian Ambassador to demand answers about the devastating impact Canada’s forest management failures are having on Western New York, the Southern Tier, and communities across the United States. Millions of Americans are paying the price for policies they had no role in creating.
We can all accept that nature is unpredictable. But repeated failures to reduce wildfire risk and manage forests responsibly are a policy choice. The United States cannot continue accepting dangerous air quality every summer as the new normal.
Canada must take meaningful action to prevent these catastrophic wildfires and protect both Canadians and Americans. If it refuses to do so, there should be consequences. Our citizens should not be forced to suffer because another nation’s government failed to do its job.
If the American People don't want to watch President Trump's speech tonight, that is THEIR choice.
The Networks should NOT be making that choice FOR the American People.
Censorship is cowardice. The Left is clearly rattled and terrified over what Trump will be speaking about tonight.
