U.S. President Donald Trump says he plans to hold Canada accountable for wildfire smoke blowing across the border, vowing the cost will be added to the American tariffs.
“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday afternoon.
He said the wildfire smoke amounts to “Willful Negligence” and is “becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying.”
Trump also mentioned in his post that he would be calling Prime Minister Mark Carney “to find out what they are going to do about it.”
American politicians in Congress have criticized Canada’s response to the wildfires that have burned across the country in recent days, including with remarks that “sovereignty comes with responsibility.”
Canada ALWAYS has excuses for everything. Carney stated it was “rupture” and the friendship with the USA was over. Now Canadians ask for our help. Priceless…..
Since the USA has spent decades unleashing their industrial smog on the Great Lakes basin, this is merely lightweight payback! After he pays the toll, we’ll come up with a fair number, for using our air and ground space after 911, I’m sure he’ll only owe a token😎
Okay let’s talk about the fact that Mexico doesn’t complain about wildfires smoke coming from California, or the multitude of annual wildfires in the US including Alaska that affects Canada. What does Canada do we send in watercolors and fire fighters to help. All the Americans do is take to social media complaining about something outside of our control so instead of complaining for the second summer in a row why dont you get off of the internet and come assist. Imagine if it was you losing everything you worked your entire life.
Doug Ford Canadian here I’m trying get a job but all Canadian companies saying I’m to white I have to be east Indian to work in Canada Mark Carney wants us Canadians homeless hungry cause we are not brown
How much of a childish little brat can one adult be. He must have been bullied in school.
Never seen a moron, idiot like this a@@h0le.
Well Trump is stupid
Fires burning in Idaho effecting Canada and getting close to Creston BC.
Canada said they are in a “war” against the USA and they went “Elbows Up”. Why do they expect our help now? Trump should provide no help and Canada can ask Europe instead.
I am surprised The Donald doesn’t dump a ton of “ICE” on the forest fires to help extinguish them !
Good. Canada has let this fire get out of control and should be held accountable. Ford and Carney to busy navel gazing. USA should boycott Canada completely and increase tariffs.
I’m Canadian and I’m to white to Canadian to work you have to be east Indian to work in Canada
If Canada is responsible then maybe the US should be responsible for the storms and winds that come into Canada from there and cause damage or un-navigational rds in winter.
Until the government spends money on water bombers it will continue until we have no forests left.Fire fighting ground equipment can’t drive through thick rain forests and foliage that have no roads or hydrants miles from water supplies
He can go to he🏒🏒. Canada has always helped with US fires but this year they can’t get off their butts to help us. Maybe he can pay to help rebuild houses and communities that have been lost!
Environmental issues canceled by the Trump administration will help to accelerate global warming. The floods in the US, the forest fires will worsen. Help fix the problem
Canada has been there sending side and firefighters to the states ALWAYS. Where is the help to Canada??
God you’re dumb trump. Canada can’t control the wind. Your daftness is showing trump. Grab a brain and grow up
and we will hold the Chump accountable for starting his wars with the middle east, for personal gain.
HE IS A SABOTEUR, AND AN IMBECILE and the US is QUICKLY following Israel and ITS war criminal to global pariah status.
We apologize that our Department of Meteorological Warfare accidentally pointed the wind fans south this week; we will try to redirect the jet stream to a more convenient location next time.
We should hold Trump rspondible for the price of gas rising daily
Maybe the whole USA should be our next territory. Not worth being a province
STAND at the border and blow the smoke trump.
Yawn…
Is there something seriously wrong cognitively with this felon? Maybe the smoke is coming in from Alaska , how would he know !?
What a nut
Aaawww Boohoo! What about the smoke we had to put up with from the California wildfires? Grow up!
Can Canada sue for the verbal diarrhea coming from Washington?
I only read this rag news feed to see the insanity Orangey inspires in the Elbows UP TDS.
Enjoying my day at your expense as is Orangey
Actually we’re over here having a hard time breathing whatever is going to you has already started thinning out. Trump is the perfect embodiment of American entitlement
I have 2 thoughts. Perhaps he could come help our firefighters, or alternately, blow some of his wind on it to put them out. I would call him an a** but that would imply he’s useful.
Where this info coming from 2 out of 3 networks wouldn’t carry his rant speech last night and 3rd cut it off. Maybe sleepy joe have to get up and change sleepier Donnie.
We should ask the US to clean up our snow removals in the winter for Colorado storms
Moron! Wildfire smoke is the exact same smoke that people inhale around a campfire. Has he never been in the forest (including those in the US) they cannot be ‘maintained’ or ‘brushed’.
Ford is right, we send our firefighters to the US during their fires. Why are they not sending troops north… Too busy fighting Iran.
So will Canada do the same thing for American fires and start to charge full price for our help fighting fires in the USA when help is asked for?
This man is a nutbar. I love how he thinks Canada is so powerful we can control the way the wind blows. Only in the United States can they beef about nature and make someone responsible.
What a total moron Trump is however I’m not stating anything that we didn’t already know. Let’s get grandpa back on his meds US residents please.
That’s it were sending the geese :P
