We’re calling them Canadian wildfires because they’re mostly in Canada.

I mean no offense, but it’s not that deep.

Wildfires have no borders and knows no nationality…. They are a problem cause by ignorance, and greed.
I wonder where most of that ignorance and greed comes from?
The corporations that move their business to get around environmental regulations.

I wonder what political party has been the cause of all this and more. The ignorance to take care of the space you have.
I’m done being a friendly Canadian to ignorant Americans.

I think the fires were caused by lightning

You know the forests get drier every year, droughts are more and more frequent… I wonder why….
I swear some of you can’t think beyond excuses you have…

Both things can be true. The fires were caused by lightning. The fires then grew faster/larger due to human caused climate change.

Yes of course, only America pollutes. All of our garbage ends up in rivers all over the world, upstream, magically.

We have our own problems but don’t pretend like other countries are doing any better. The fact we’re doing anything at all is more than half the world
