“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.’” https://globalnews.ca/news/11968608/wildfires-united-states-canada/ Perhaps the United States could stop sending its world leading CO₂ emissions into other countries’ airspace as a show of good faith and reciprocity. #uspoli #CarbonEmissions #ClimateChange

@Sanderde@mstdn.ca They appear to be threatening to send people with leaf rakes into Canada. “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.”

@Sanderde@mstdn.ca In other words, you broke it you own it. Republicans maintain their unblemished record of projection
