don’t worry, USA cut all of the ability for the EPA to do anything, so this will definitely get better.

The EPA can’t do anything about Canadian forest fires. Canadian Right wingers have cut firefighting budgets and dropped emissions laws to align with the USA, so this problem, which literally never happened before 5 years ago, will be the new summer experience for North America.

I cannot stress enough that Canada is a sovereign country and not under the jurisdiction of the EPA.

I understand the naysayers’ point but a functioning EPA would work WITH Canada. We could, you know, be a good neighbor. Together both nations could help predict fires, track them, respond together, etc. The current environment of aggression is not the only possible course of action. Unfortunately, there is no hope in that changing this moment.
