Trump threatens tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke
The orange felon is threatening Canada with more tariffs because of wildfire smoke drifting to the US. For context, Canada sent fire crews to the US when Southern California was being ravaged by catastrophic blazes. He’s a piece of shit. Sending love to our Canadian friends. 🇨🇦
Thank you, Ricky. When I think I couldn't despise him more... he always makes it easy. 😠
And the next time the US has devastating wildfires Canada will tell us to go fck ourselves.
Nobody can put out lightning fires across an area the size of Europe-not Canada-not America, not the Avengers. And the reason the fires keep getting worse is a thing called climate change, which your party spent this week gutting environmental protections, fire science,calling ita hoax.” -d blundell
HES NOT A 'PIECE' of SHT.....HIS ENTIRE BEING IS SHT!!
I burst into tears watching firefighters arrive from Canada & Mexico. My home was ultimately spared, but I watched while displaced & felt nothing but gratitude & moment of hope in middle of a living nightmare. Trump did not care when CA burned. He luxuriated in our trauma. I hate that man so much.
Thank You, Ricky ❤️🇨🇦 Btw....imp facts ⤵️ bsky.app/profile/kill...
RIP Nicholas Dale, Canadian Firefighter. Tragically killed fighting a wildfire in Colorado. This father of 2 gave his life, supporting our neighbours south of the border, fighting THEIR forest fire. That's all I have to say on this matter. 😢💔🇨🇦
We love our northern neighbors no matter what ❤️ Sorry that our faux government is such a shitshow
Yes indeed. Americans love our Canadian neighbors. Our president hates anyone who abides by norms and laws.
Much love to the Canadians. Hey everyone in California ask @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to make some CalFire resources available to Canada as a gesture of goodwill.
He is a piece of shit. Love you back
🇺🇸🥰🇨🇦 Please know that the FDJT Regime is not America. America would send crews to help you with those catastrophic fires. Elbows up.
I thought about that. Canada has been our stalwart friend in times of need, especially after 9/11, but since then, too. Every time 🍊insults or threatens them I cringe. Apologies can only go so far. Americans need to send TP back to FL for our country’s sake, and for our allies’ sakes as well. Peace.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Murika: where Honor goes to die.
We didn't previously integrate wildfire-smoke costs into the supposed cost of climate change for the US, and it turns out to be bigger than all those other costs combined. Oops! Gosh I wonder if we're underestimating anything else. Probably shoulda done something about this. Ah well.
I lived in Seattle from 2003 to 2019. Summer in Seattle used to be unbelievably beautiful. It made the long, dark, wet winters worth enduring. Around 2017 we started having weeks of wildfire smoke every summer that made it hazardous to go outside. Words cannot express what has already been lost.
Here's the Actual Facts about Wildfire Management on both sides of the boarder. Please download this photo and share it whenever you see a post about our Wildfires.
While we're at it, maybe we should estimate the cost of battling cannibalistic hordes arising from the post-apocalypse barren desert landscape?
Can't spell asterisk without risk
But, you see, David, Nordhaus assured us that since most people (ahem) work in controlled environments indoors, climate change will have minimal effects on GDP.
OTOH Trump is doing more to advance the global use of renewable energy than any previous US president. (outside of the US of course) And, (although he has no fucking clue), he is doing it using capitalism. Oil companies are getting tremendous profits and killing their seed corn.
Absolutely wild. Read that again: the *actual* costs of *just wildfire smoke* are higher than the currently projected costs of *all climate impacts combined*.
It’s always been arrogant to assume that we can predict even most of the costs of #ClimateChange. Let alone presume that we can properly quantify them, and successfully adapt to them. A key word with a lot of our climate failure is arrogance. Along with selfishness and greed. #ClimateCrisis
WHAT This is I can't
We still can. Execution of the executive suites of 57 corporations would send a message that we're serious about reducing carbon emissions by 80%!
Damn, fucking up the ecosystem all life depends on has unexpected costs. As weather disasters accelerate just choking on the smoke of wildfires turns out to be an even bigger killer.
It's only a bigger issue because the media can't obscure it. There are far worse things happening, but hundreds of millions of $ in propaganda are being deployed to cover the crimes.
Idk man I feel like going to outdoor events in this is some really weird and cultish don’t look up type behavior 😬
I get yelled at a lot by people on the Left for shitting on the idea of the Social Cost of Carbon
Having spent most of my life in CA, but enough in the DMV area to see how little people even noticed the West Coast, I've often wondered if things would be different if the East Coast experienced what we have so often. We may be beginning to see that, but prob in the worst possible way.
Odd, that stupid Donald Trump is in a snit with Canada over air quality when he has dismantled the EPA, promoted burning coal, and pulled out of climate change accords, guaranteeing air quality issues *worldwide* for not just this summer, but maybe FOREVER. What a colossal Idiot.
Not to mention that US smoke from Oregon and Washington has crossed the border into Canada.
Canadian fire fighters show up for the US for every fire we have. We should be sending help north to fight the fires instead of bitching about it.
He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about air pollution. Opportunistic POS
"Dammit, this country is gonna breathe AMERICAN pollution or there's gonna be hell to pay!"
He's just mad that it might interfere with his appearance at the World Cup Final.
#FuckTrump Most Normal and SANE presidents would reach out to help and send help to 🇨🇦 to help put out the 🔥.
this week, MAGA lost their fucking minds when they were advised to avoid breathing wildfire smoke. also, Nosferatu McGoebbels is a hideous piece of shit and Jesse Watters thinks rape jokes are hilarious. it's all in my 'this week in stupid,' thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4yuUOsr
Jesse Waters is on the top of the list of people I'd like to see punched in the face.
Jesse Watters is a piece of shit! And a vile and disgusting person!
I’ve started referring to Stephen Miller as his true identity Gargamel because he’s a pathetic little man who’s only ambition is to go after blue people, but constantly fails at life
Doing stupid shit specifically because someone asks you not to is the definition of Oppositional Defiant Disorder. ODD is a subcategory of Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Nazi art / film featured point of view shots at boot level to make the viewer feel they were being trampled. Full on admission of fascism in that graphic.
Didn't know that Trump's tall son Barron is handling his father's balls. 🫣

Canada’s boreal forests have never been “managed” like California, and can’t be (way too big and different trees). Fires are mostly started by lightning which is more frequent due to heating from climate change. Donald Trump rolls back climate change initiatives and makes the whole thing worse.
I swear, most Republicans (including their cult leader) have lost their crazy minds totally over Canadian wildfires which also exist in the U.S.!
When we had wildfires Canada helped, when it comes from their border we bitch and whine
Canadian here…oh for Fu#ks sake!
I'm sure the anti Canadian thing is being pushed by the fossil fuel industries. The last thing they want is for people to be talking about the real causes of massive forest fires.
Die Parteiführung fordert die Republikaner auf, Trumps Wahl-Lügen zu vermeiden. Trump beginnt mit dem Abbau von Wahlbehörden und Maßnahmen zur Cybersicherheit. Die Republikaner wollen kanadische Visa widerrufen und Kanadier wegen des Rauchs der Waldbrände zur „persona non grata“ erklären. 1/
Everything is insane. Happy Saturday.
Donald Trump is using the climate fires to threaten Canada. MAGA politicians are saying it's our last warning and threatening to come over the border. Meanwhile a Canadian firefighter died helping people in Colorado. It would be ridiculous if it wasn't so serious. My latest youtu.be/hqPHvJJc1Ck?...
Most of the people in the U.S. know how Canada has always come to our rescue to masterfully deal with fires. The regime doesn't represent us. We respect and appreciate Canada's firefighters!
🇨🇦 Track Record: 1) Took in enslaved people fleeing 🇺🇸through Underground Railroad. 2) Fought side by side 🇺🇸in WW I and II 3) Helped build 🇺🇸post-war economy via trade and cooperation. 4) Rescued 🇮🇷 hostages in 70’s 5) Operation Yellow Ribbon (2001), War on Terror. Such ingratitude from 🍊/MAGA 🇨🇦💪🆙
It's a disgrace, another one. Stay safe Canada
The US currently accounts for around 13.6 percent of global CO₂ emissions. Yet it represents only 4 percent of the world’s population.
On behalf of sane Americans, I apologize for the orange demon’s behavior. Climate change is a global problem and we, the US, are major contributors to it. And tragically, the orange demon’s fossil fuel friends are getting him to dismantle renewable energy programs we need to slow climate change.
CNN is say the fires are only in Canada. 🧐🤬
All the talk about wildfire smoke reminded me of this time here in the Seattle area back in 2020. It was the worst I've ever seen anywhere, anytime.
This year's fire season is potentially going to be a bad one. We really need to be careful out there and not start accidental fires.
All the way to Portland.
Took this pic of the sun last summer during wildfire season 🤟😎
I remember! In Portland we wouldn’t go out of the house, the air was so unhealthy.
I remember that. I was living in King county with no air conditioning at the time. When I wasn't at the office, I fled to the mall or library for relief.
Major wildfires starting in the summer of 2020 along the west coast of the United States made PM2.5 concentrations in this region rank among the highest in the world. Washington was impacted both by active wildfires in the state and aged wood smoke transported from fires in Oregon and California.
Yeah, it's been reminding me of all the wildfires in California too, especially the Caldor Fire in 2021. Man, that year sucked with all the smoke, weeks of nonstop 100+F temps, and to top it all off, I was still pretty f-up from catching Long Covid in August 2020, ugh. youtu.be/9BUQePubSbQ?...
It seems things are not real until it hits the East Coast
“The cost of climate-worsened wildfire smoke alone is larger than what earlier studies said every other estimated cost of climate change would be, combined.”
Surely a few more pipelines and LNG plants will fix it!
No offense to Robinson Meyer, but we definitely knew days like this would happen and have been warning about them for decades and only an idiot or asshole thinks anything different.
If you or anyone you know is pregnant, get them air filters and an n95 mask. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...
came here to post this too. great work @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social
«wildfire smoke did not appear in our economic simulations of climate change …Then they happened. And happened again. …they may be more expensive for the U.S. economy than we once thought» Jeez, what did you expect from models and econ-psychos concluding 5C of warming is optimal??
re: 'cost' - baby steps, but someday we'll get there, even Robinson Meyer static1.squarespace.com/static/571d1...
How much would you pay not to live like this? I need to think about a number, but I’d pay quite a bit.
Every fascist and neoliberal: "You didn't say it was going to be like this!" Entire rest of the planet: "Oh yes we fucking did, and we have over a *century*'s worth of receipts!" Fascists and neoliberals will never admit that they were wrong, so they can never admit they were adequately warned.
Separating out the donations with Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce in the heat and humidity while wearing a mask to protect myself from the wildfire smoke. Really love this world we have made
This would be a lot easier if the federal government made Taylor Farms actually list out the brands that are affected, not just the product codes
I just went to the Albertsons by my place and they were pulling half the produce inventory but only replacing it with fresher Taylor Farms produce.
Trump is bitching about the wildfire smoke from Canada. When American wildlands catch fire, Canadians don't bitch about it - they send us firefighters and support aircraft. One of their pilots recently died fighting a fire in Colorado. Instead of bitching, Trump should send firefighters to Canada!
& america is covered in smoke & on fire as well
This, Canada has helped us so dam much. Canada and Mexico are our neighbors and in a lot of instances, literally family. We should be doing everything in our power to strengthen and improve those relationships. But alas, the weirdos are running things.
And we save your children
I heard that firefighters from some northeastern states are now planning on heading up. But absolutely agree with your sentiment. Add to that with one phone call the Canadian military rescued some American YMCA groups that had their escape route blocked.
The American west is burning as well, but Trump doesn't care about the west because they're mostly not his followers. Remember when he told California to rake its forests!
Funny because the federal government refused FEMA funding to removed downed trees in WNC from Hurricane Helene. The downed trees will continue to dry out increasing the chances for rapidly spreading wildfires.
“BREAKING: Trump Promises To Tariff Canada, Freeze Canadian Assets, Yank Canadian Visas, For Wildfire Smoke The Same Week A Canadian Died Fighting Wildfires In Colorado.” -Dean Blundell
He’s such a fucking jerk. So sick of this blithering idiot.
Considering how fed up Canada has to be with all of Trump's bullshit, perhaps they would be willing to let him build a wall. 🙂
All of which is he legally can’t do, if I’m to assume correctly
The stupidy and cruelty never end. No empathy for the Canadians who have lost homes, businesses, no thank you for the Canadian fire fighter who died in Colorado, no acknowledgement that this is climate change, and we have know this was going to happen and ignored it.
Can America please stop allowing winter storms moving up the coast from the USA into Canadian waters!!
He’s so pathetic and jeez I wonder which country or the biggest emitter of green house gasses that are directly responsible for the activity we have been seeing for the last 10 years
Trump is an idiot. This is a climate change event. Canadians didn't decide to fuck with the United States. That's not what's happening here. You also can't rake the entire Boreal forest, that's not a realistic thing.
America Your president is an asshole
Trump is a Nazi. These are not normal actions of a diplomatic office at the Federal level. He needs to be impeached AGAIN and this time removed from office.
My softball league today was like "Games are on if the thunderstorm is over and the wildfire smoke is gone and there's no longer a tornado watch and if it is not 40 degrees!!" and I just had to take a step back and be like, huh, that's not normally things we've had to worry about but okay
I used to think AC and Air Purifiers were bougie, now they're just health necessities.
At that point they should have said see you tomorrow but they never do. My team was playing in a rain storm because the umpire wouldn't call the game. I was at the plate when this loud thunderclap roared, then a huge bolt of lightning came down. I dropped the bat & jumped back, then told the ump to
And just when you think the game is on . . .
Same. My kid is at the provincial flag football tournament. We had about an hour of nice weather after the rain but now the wildfire smog is back.
Did ... did you play??
Canadians responding to Americans complaining about the wildfire smoke… Happy #Caturday
Any Americans complaining are Trumpers. This Democrat is deeply sorry for what is happening in Canada 💔
She is totally saying "WTF is wrong with you?"
Trump is an asshole. Don't pay any attention to him.
He's such a GD embarrassment, I can barely get through this regime. Thank you for anchoring your frustration at the subset of crazies and not all of us down here. And, happy caturday.
I’m truly sorry about the fires!!
@thekiffness.bsky.social Needs to put this delightful duet to music!
Any American that whines about wildfire smoke needs to just STFU. Our Northern neighbors give their lives helping us control our wildfires. 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇦
It's so bad, but it is in NO way Canada's fault. If it's bad here, it's so much worse there. Canada is always coming to our aid when it comes to our wildfires. Under any other president, we would be aiding them. But not with Papaya Palpatine. 😓
Wildfire smoke is normal in the southwest. We get it every year although some years are worse than others. It’s horrible, but the damage to our earth and our firefighters is way worse.
Here's the Actual Facts about Wildfire Management on both sides of the boarder. Facts Still Matter !!
It's just another example of entitlement and exceptionalism isn't it, and it's in equal measure obnoxious and pathetic!
We are tired of this shit.
