As wildfire smoke blankets parts of the country and spills into the United States, some U.S. lawmakers have sent a letter to the Canadian government saying that “sovereignty comes with responsibility.”

Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives Jack Bergman, John James, Lisa McClain and John Moolenaar penned a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, and reportedly sent it on Wednesday “demanding immediate action from the Canadian government,” a press release said.

“American lungs are paying the price for Canadian inaction, year after year,” the letter said.

“Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met.”

The reference to Canada’s sovereignty comes after repeated threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to make Canada the “51st state” and after repeated threats to annex Greenland.

This isn’t the first time the representatives have complained about wildfire smoke coming from Canada with similar letters sent last year.

“Last year, Reps. James and Bergman each wrote letters to your government to raise the alarm about wildfire smoke pouring across our border from Canada into our communities,” the letter said.

“We write jointly this time because a year has passed, the season has come around again, and nothing has changed except that our patience has run out.”

Canada has been fighting some of the worst wildfires on record in recent years and has taken steps to increase the response.

In May, more fire-fighting aircraft was leased to combat this year’s wildfire season, but many communities are still being forced to evacuate as homes and livelihoods are destroyed.

Those who aren’t impacted by the fires directly are likely experiencing the smoke this week, with air quality alerts issued by Environment Canada in dozens of communities, including Toronto.

Much of the smoke seen through parts of Ontario and into parts of Michigan and surrounding areas is coming from severe wildfires raging in Northern Ontario.

“We are done accepting apologies in place of action. If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people,” the letter said.

“That means our own agencies exploring direct involvement in cross-border fuel reduction and firefighting capacity.”

Well I'd like to see those fuckers go up against something of this scale. American forests are like fucking back gardens compared to the Canadian wilderness.

Never change, rightards. That's why the Democrats are winning elections since late last year, and it'll be a bloodbath for the Republicans in November

They are actually pushing this narrative that forest fires are Canada's fault. That this is an attack.
Incredible. Truly fucking incredible.

>Clean up your own mess
We tried to, but Canada is still refusing to become the 51st State. Any cleaning up of the Canadian mess is going to require us to have Federal authority in Canada. It starts with banning French from the equation, then banning the Indian and Chinese laborers from the continent, and ends with reminding Canadians that Canada does not, will not, and has never mattered in any capacity other than the ways they're fucking things up for us. You're America's hat, we shouldn't have to remind you that people clinging to the rocky frozen north don't matter.

>Clean up your own mess
Trump is very trying but always TACOs out of everything: even Denmark made him their bitch due to the absolute state of MAGA not annexing Greenland, instead making a pool green.
It'll start with banning Republicans from the equation via the Midterm Massacre in November, then via the hypocrisy of Trump's H1Bs, then allowing CCP spies among Chinese students into US, and ends with reminding that MAGA dies after 12 midday 20th January 2029.
Miggers do not and will not matter in any capacity other than the way they've fucked up America.
You're what's in Trump's diaper, everyone else shouldn't have to remind you that miggers clinging to your orange god's fundament will never matter.

Umm, you make no sense. Also, nice to see how you feel about people in Alaska as that is further North than 99% of yhe Canadian population.

Also, the USA Gov has not offered assistance, we have asked but USA govt officials only make up a narrative to fit their own agenda.

We will keep our oil, fertilizer, lumber & steel, turn up the fires & turm on a fan to starve & smoke you all out.

Remember when Canada burned down the Whitehouse during the war of 1812? That was fun. Ever since America has been Canada's bitch.

I enjoy watching our political leaders continuously embarrass dictator Trump
>>
>>1524212
Since Trump likes to build all this stuff maybe he needs to build a dome over America to block out the smoke. With his smarts he would prob seal it up real tight and cook everyone.

Why don’t the Americans send some help? I always see Canadian firefighters helping in the US when it gets out of control

Like saying you should fight a flood with buckets. Fucking retards.

Who in the fuck would want to be friends with idiots who voted to ruin their country over and over?
We should build a wall to contain them, and filter the northern protohumans from OUR Internet.
I know I'm not the only one that gets an uncanny valley feeling when I see an obvious Canadian.

The smoke has formed a CARAVAN that is headed towards the border. This is an INVASION abetted by the Canadian people. There will be RETRIBUTION and VENGEANCE.

It's all just smoke and mirrors by the likes of 1524435.
When Trump can't stop ducks 'vandalizing' his green swamp in Washington DC, there's less than fuck all he can do about migrating Canadian geese flying over the border & entering US territory.
There will be IMPOTENCE and SEETHING by 1524435.

Liggerals gonna be pigs, huh?
Imagine being sooo liggeral you can't admit your entire agenda is a massive fuck up that brings pain to people wherever it's enacted.
And you actually get mad at policy that works simply because you don't believe it works despite the evidence.
Liggeralism is a cult.
>>
Liggy miggies are piggies.
The reality is that miggers' entire agenda is a massive fuck up that brings schadenfreude to others who aren't miggers.
And you're actually mad, 1524457.
Miggerism is a cult.

Shiggy wiggy ziggy, I noticed other people using this structure too and feel like I've had an impact on the culture of the board. Thanks for fighting the good fight against these stupid inbred faggots.

I though trump tards loved natural disasters and that's why they're intentionally destroying the planet
