    In other news Republicans cut funding to FEMA because they are a bunch of Socialist bastards and the American people should be able to save themselves./s

    As a Canadian, I kind of agree. We have cut funding for fighting wildfires by more than half in the last 5 years and it shows.

    The US hasn’t done enough to prevent the climate change that’s causing all these fires!!

      The US cancelled all environmental regulations, because “woke”, so the US can shut the fuck up. The psychopath that shall not be named literally says all the time - drill, baby, drill. So, again, the US can shut the fuck up.

        Or maybe, just maybe, we should both be working on this. After all, we are right next to you on the list, and certainly heading the wrong direction.

        I’m not sure “shutting the fuck up” is the right way to go.

          The issue is the messenger in this case. Republicans have no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing anyone regarding environmental issues

      That’s cool and all but what is anyone supposed to do about it?

      Canadian cities are centered around cars.

      Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.

      Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.

      Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.

        Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.

        You could feed the damn trains with coal and it’d better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.

        Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.

        EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.

        Actually regulate industry.

        Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.

        Honestly it shouldn’t be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.

    Not interested in what diarrhea of the mouth Republicans spew…

    Having said that, Canada has done little to prevent wildfires; all our politicians are in the pocket of big oil and seem to be too stupid to realize that if they at least try to mitigate the climate disaster, the public is more likely to give them a pass

        They are in the pocket of big oil, and you think ‘big oil’ wants there to be massive wildfire bringing attention to climate change?

        I see you misread my comment… happens to the best of us

          Yeah there is misinformation going around, that somehow Canada can manage wild forest that are burning due to climate change, always more to be done on the climate front.

            we can do the right thing and stop feeding the causes of climate change

            Stop smoking will not cure the lung cancer we already have but will certainly help with any treatment we go for
