Trump threatens new Canada tariffs over wildfire smoke in US cities

This is exactly the kind of thing where I want every single memo, every email, every staff meeting transcript from the White House, from Commerce, from whoever is actually writing these deranged policies. Who is behind this? Get the raw footage of these meetings. Let the truth come out.

Tariffs on smoke is a new one. The leverage theory here is unclear; Canada does not control what its wildfires do to air currents, and tariffs do not filter particulates. Carney's point about shared responsibility is actually the correct frame, which makes it easy to dismiss as diplomatic boilerplate even when it isn't.

This is what climate collapse looks like when a fascist grifter turns smoke into a tariff tantrum. Wildfires are getting worse because fossil fuel interests bought decades of denial, and now people are supposed to pretend the answer is punishing Canada instead of cutting emissions and ending the oil lobby's grip on power.

Mark Carney talking about "equal responsibility" while Canadian forests been burning for years with zero urgency from Ottawa. Trump using every tool available to push neighbors to act and the BBC writes it up like he invented wildfire smoke. Canada wants that trade relationship, they can invest in forest management like the rest of us paying attention.
