a canadian firefighter died two days ago fighting colorado wildfires and this is what we get lmao

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

There are wildfires all over the western and central US right now.

When California had wildfires that billowed smoke into Canada, the Canadians didn’t bitch about it, they send firefighters using their own tax dollars, not asking to be reimbursed, to help control the blaze.

When our closest allies are struggling, our job is not to point fingers and whine. It’s to help.

Neither natural disasters nor air quality, care about the artificial borders we draw on a map.

So grow a spine, and focus on what we can do to help our neighbors and in turn ourselves, instead of just complaining about how it’s an inconvenience to you, as if all of North America isn’t breathing this air.

The United States experiences large forest fires: Canada sends their fire crews and water bombers to help.

Canada experiences large forest fires: The United States calls for Canada’s economic destruction.

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

Americans lecturing Canadians about better forest management in a year when US wildfire burn area is on track to surpass 6 million acres is... peak Americaness.

[𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 @homemakinghunny]

No offence to my American friends but so many Americans on here seem to forget that other people exist outside of America. I keep seeing Americans complaining about the wildfire smoke and being like “oh, it’s just Canada.” Um?? People live here you know… fireman are out there fighting over 100 wildfires that are destroying millions of acres of land not to mention homes and communities.

It’s like when America has a crisis, Canadians show support but then when Canada has a crisis, Americans laugh and complain if it affects them in any way. Its gross.

And maybe this isn’t true overall but it’s at least what I’ve seen a lot of and it’s annoying me today.

[Scott Billeck @ScottBilleck]

It feels like a co-ordinated assault on twitter today regarding the smoke. When Los Angeles was burning, Canada sent help. When our forests are burning, they send tweets. Exceptional leadership being shown.

[Ryan @YeezyTaughtMe72]

The difference between Canada & USA is when America is on fire we send resources to help save lives. When Canada is on fire Americans just bitch and complain about air quality

Americans truly are the worst people on earth

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Dude takes how much oil and gas money and thinks the air quality is Canada’s fault? Why do you think their forests are burning, @MikeRogersForMI?

He’s just not ready for this job.

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Oh hey look, it's consequences!

[Kyle Brittain @BadWeatherKyle]

It seems like many Americans, especially in the eastern United States, can't wrap their minds around the sheer size and remoteness of the Canadian wild - nor the humbling size and violence of a boreal wildfire.

A teachable moment, to be sure.

[Prof. Ryan Katz-Rosene @ryankatzrosene]

For those wondering why it's so hard to control remote wildfires in Canada, here are two maps which might help illustrate the problem. Let's call them: A) Where the people are; and B) Where the trees are.

You might not care about climate change but I can promise you it will come for you regardless

[Emily Spanton @whatdoesntkillu]

The country is currently on fire Mark.

Here’s Carney telling us that meeting our emissions reductions targets would be “too expensive for Canadians” about two weeks ago:

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

The government claims privacy is an urgent priority, but Bill C-36 suggests otherwise. I unpack the many steps required for privacy reforms to take effect, concluding that it will take years for Canadians to benefit from any improved privacy protections.
