Canadian wildfire smoke ruining Americans' summer... letter from Congress members

The BBQ Pit

House representatives from Minnesota and Wisconsin have sent a letter to Canada’s US ambassador complaining that Canadian wildfire smoke is travelling south and making it difficult for some Americans to enjoy their summer…

“We write to you today on behalf of our constituents who have had to deal with suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke filling the air to begin the summer,” begins the letter, published Monday and addressed to Ambassador Kirsten Hillman."

Unbelievable. I have an easy answer for these Congress members…fuck you!

That is literally the most American thing I can think of.

3

“Only we’re allowed to blow smoke up Americans’ asses!”

4

This is just payback for Canadians bitching about a hundred years of wholesome American acid rain.

5

And every one of them (I checked) is Republican. Motto: “Totally fact-free, and loving it!”

6

The Canadian Government’s official reply should be:
“Smoke is freedom!”

7

That is such a good observation…I might steal that!

8

No, that would be if we tried to charge a tariff on the smoke.

9

Can’t the US just build a big, beautiful wall to keep the smoke out?

10

It should be some rather choice words followed by “And you can put that in your pipe and smoke it!”

Maybe a windmill farm?

11

That’s not wildfire smoke, Canadians are burning beautiful “baby coal”.

12

Pass a law that makes it illegal for Canadian smoke to leave the country.

Then complain bitterly about how the criminal US government is aiding and abetting smoke to escape Canada, and demand that they secure their border to ensure none of our precious smoke sneaks into the US.

13

This makes me think that Canada should accuse the Republicans of being woke tree-hugging ecoterrorists griping about climate change. See how they’d react to that accusation.

14

Oh look, crazy election denier Michelle Fischbach can write her own name. Or maybe it was an autopen!

I don’t know the other reps, but as far as I’m concerned all those sardines go in the same can.

15

They should put a tariff on it.

At least something Canadian is crossing the border.

We will stop the smoke crossing when you stop the guns coming the other way.

16

Dear House reps from Minnesota and Wisconsin : So you are all insane after all. Every last one of you. I kinda figured that.

17

They’re just pissed because they can’t charge a tariff on the imported smoke.

18

Dang, someone should make a tariff joke in this thread, this is just asking for it.

:neutral_face:

19

Put Noem on it.

I’d dearly love to see her to spend months chasing smoke around the upper states with a a black garbage bag.

What’s she going to do? Shoot the smoke like her dog?
