American fires

Canadians: hey we’re gonna help you out!

Canadian fires

Americans: You’re ruining our summer!

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 months ago

It's the American way.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 64 points 10 months ago

Sure would help if they'd committed to Paris or any environmental standards.

And they should deal with their own forest fires. Remember when we sent firefighters there just this year when Trump was going on about 51st state crap? I remember.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 9 points 10 months ago

Have you tried sweeping your forests, I remember that was the issue in California. /s

Says the country that believes in clean coal

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Canadian firefighters were just in the US a few months ago while Drumphkins was flapping his lips about annexation.

Fuck the regime!

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Hey congress. Remember how Canada and Mexico routinely send us help when our fires get really bad? Well?... Do you not think we should return the very huge favor?

[-] roserose56@lemmy.ca 10 points 10 months ago

Exactly what I was thinking! Instead of helping us, they are complaining about something that is not in control.

[-] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Obviously it only makes sense to help Canada if it becomes a state. Half the reason they help with american fires is because they want to be a state so bad. /s

[-] ehxor@lemmy.ca 24 points 10 months ago

Why doesn’t God Emperor Trump just tariff the smoke?

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago

How about go fuck yourself you useless bunch of fascists.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

I just farted and waved it in the general direction of the US. Enjoy.

We as humans have only ourselves to blame for these wildfires. We're pushing this planet to it's limits and it's only going to keep getting worse.

[-] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago

We have a plan to deal with this.

Step #1 is to let one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses destroy itself in a civil war.

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 17 points 10 months ago

Hey Republicans, to fix this issue, build a bunch of wind turbine power generators to blow the smoke away.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 4 points 10 months ago

Are you trying to kill the beautiful birds and drive the whales crazy?! /s

[-] DriftingLynx@lemmy.ca 16 points 10 months ago

We've purposly lit all these fires just to ruin their summer, totally intentional, I swear it.

[-] bowreality@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

That’s 70% tariff for you!!! 🍊 🤡

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

“We write to you today on behalf of our constituents who have had to deal with suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke filling the air,” reads the letter signed by Republican House representatives Brad Finstad, Pete Stauber, Michelle Fischbach and Tom Emmer of Minnesota, along with Tom Tiffany and Glenn Grothman of Wisconsin.

republiQans all, as if it was a question.

[-] opus86@lemmy.today 10 points 10 months ago

So,how about trying to come up with solutions rather than loudly whining about everything?

[-] Disaster@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

The only solution those fuckheads will pull their thumbs out of their assholes for is the final one in Gaza.

[-] BC_viper@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Yah. Nah, fuck them.

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Fuck it, start a controlled burn at the border when the wind is out of the North.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Maybe the US could behave like climate change exists and actually do something about it?

Or nah.

Enjoy the wildfire smoke dumbasses.

[-] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We are going to teach the Canadians to stop being such kind people. muhahahah.

Interestingly 24% of Canadians have a favorable view of the US and 87% of Americans have a favorable view of Canadians. Thats a 63% mismatch, and it was trending way down even before trump.
