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.”
Quite honestly, and it’s rare for me to wish harm on people but I hope this smoke chokes him and 86s him.
He’ll want a tariff on wildfire smoke next.
And this is why the USA has become the most hated country in the world
What DB the Trump is.
How do you maintain billions of hectares of natural forests.
Such a tool.
Stupid is as always
The sooner Trump is assassinated by Iranians, the better! Get at it Guys!!
@Vince Gillis – nobody wants your help. You can’t even help yourselves.
Wow the crazy elbozos triggered again by Trump.
Dig a little deeper wingnuts…
Remember Trudeau’s 2 billion trees promise? What happened to that.
Remember Trudeau decimating Canada’s forestry management?
Remember when he was warned multiple times in 2017 to take fire mitigation( brush clearing, fire breaks, and more funding) seriously, or there could be devastating effect? Did he listen? No, he blames it all on CLIMATE CHANGE, and proceeds with ridiculous taxation.
Canada at one point, had a world-class forestry management service, until Trudeau and his mob came to power.
As much as it pains me to say, Trump is half right on this! Look to OUR Federal governments handling of our forestry management over the last 15 years and you will see…..but you won’t, you’ll just keep barking your hyperbolic nonsense.
Please Canada wake up
Wish that Con Carney would grow a pair and tell the orange MAGAT that we will reciprocate with tariffs on the US for the “filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air” continuing to spew out of dumpsters mouth into our country.
Trump is looking for any excuse to make money for himself and his cronies.
Lard Ford and Carney can bootlick Trump and kiss the MAGA ring if they want our help.
These news sites trigger the boomers so easily. Do you not yet know about mockingbird? Wake up already, its getting old
Did Trump happen to mention how Canada sent firefighters to help with the major wildfires in California and Oregon in recent years? Did he also mention that cities in British Columbia and Alberta were socked in with smoke from those American wildfires? I suspect none of that matters as much to him.
cut off the power due to national emergency to fight wild fires
Can American politicians be any more idiotic as to believe that any country can control wild fires now the idiot in chief wants to put tariffs on Canafa for wild fire smoke. Suggesting that that behaviour is all right, then Canada should sue the State of Washington and the US government for the devastating flood in BC that cost Billions of dollars to recover
What a sad state of affairs.
Perhaps before allowing any person in any country of this world, they must submit to mental capacity testing!
Oh man, you have to pass a test to drive, in most countries, but when it comes to looking after a country and the citizens of same, any f*^k head can run!!
Is American politician’s so inept that they do not realize that America itself has forest fires that blow in smoke to canada?
That for decades canada and America fight those fires collectively. Like all the Canadians that helped save California. That trump himself is the one cutting budgets to work together for such matters. If he wants to play around like that then maybe we should start tarrifs on America until the sewage from America is cleaned up in the canadian side of the great lakes. Someone shove another big make in epstiens buddies mouth.
Canada continually goes to U S aid to fight their fires with our waterbomber planes , our fire fighter crews. We also sent our linesmen their hard hit areas to restore their power after their terrible hurricanes! We came to their Aid so many times!!! We are always coming to their aid. How dare T and his lackies criticize Canada like this. Their insane attitude is uncalled for !! I say we should stop caring to send them help in the future till they come to their senses and start respecting us! I am sick and tired of this deranged attitude coming out of south of our border. It is like something has blinded their minds and hearts from what is descent and kind. It would be pretty silly if we demanded our bordering country to come clean up their mountain’s ash from their mountain’s volcanic eruption. It’s Nature! It even more silly for them to rise the tariffs on us for Smoke!!! We can Not control Wind , Air, NATURE. No one can Control the smoke from a wildfire! Holding Canada Responsible for Wildfire smoke is insane! Climate Change is real. It is true that mankind has ruined this earth (Land , Air , Oceans) . Denying it like their leader does not help and the more we will face worse weather. More Earthquakes, more wild fires, more tornados, more hurricanes, Etc.. We should be working together to make changes for the health of this planet and in turn the health of every living thing on this planet.
Canada does not pay the tariffs the USA does when they import our products morons
The USA continues to be the butt of all jokes especially with that idiot in charge
Right. Who are the worst emitters on the face of the earth causing these issues? China and the USA. Maybe control your emissions before laying blame on somebody else. Maybe we will think twice next time you need help.
The incompetence shown up in Canada is over the top. Trump is an amazing leader and President.
We should have the homeless clearing the deadfall and pine beetle trees. Qualified fellers cut the trees, homeless skid, them out with rescue horses + stack and load trucks. The wood is sold for firewood or used to generate electricity. House the homeless in atco trailers where they can get addictions treatment + 3 hots and a cot.
We should apply tariffs to the US for taking our smoke without our permission.
Canadian liquor should be taken off store shelves in the USA until Canada gets control of its forest fires.
Maybe we should put a tariff on the water crossing the border into the usa. Or maybe they owe us for the damage caused by their wildfires or the cost of our help fighting them on their side of the border.
Donald Trump has to go. He is a bumbling idiot.
Mr Trump you are an idiot how can you hug Canada responsible for smoke that was caused by lightning that started these fires have you flipped your toupee you really got to be smoking something sir I’m telling you you’re whacked out of your head if you think we can control the smoke we do not have a dome over our country
So Lard Ford, after badmouthing USA for over a year, is now begging for our help? The is too good to be true.
Fact:
Fires everywhere are worse now because of climate change. The US is a major cause of CC.
Fiction:
We are responsible for the smoke from fires on the east coast, but the US isn’t responsible for the smoke that regularly plagues the western provinces that comes up from Washington and California.
Doug Ford Blows goats imagine being the dumber one of the two brothers that lived. Ontario please split and take everting east of you far away and join the EU.
Vollkommener Idiot,endsorgt ihn endlich .
Doug Ford dont worry about USA worry about Canadians who need jobs and homes not other countries Canadians first
I am so triggered that I am gonna trans my daughter to spite this right wing orange nut and give him a dose of left wing elbozoz flexxing
Hilarious! If things were so bad, why didn’t Ford ask for help long ago?
We send our water bombers over to the US all the time to help out that orange bastard, shut your stupid face
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
