Just forget about "global warming." That's so '90's.
More interesting: why US firefighters are NOT in Canada to help.
...Most of the firefighting takes place as an outcome of private-public contracts for costs. {SOURCE} The Canadian government blocks U.S. companies from fighting fires in Canada because the Canadian government wants to only pay Canadian companies and workers. U.S. firefighting is not allowed to assist in Canada and get reimbursed....
IOW, "Do it for free because........Canada!" Or sumpin'sumpin'
...Conversely, the Canadians quickly want to come to the U.S. to fight fires because the USA reimburses firefighting companies at a higher rate than Canada. [SOURCE] The USA has no federal restrictions on Canadian firefighting assistance.
Canadian firefighting professionals would rather fight forest fires in the USA because they make more money. There is no incentive for U.S. firefighting professionals to volunteer their time and effort without getting reimbursed; which is the position of Canada....
Watch Trump squash those bugs when USMCA drops dead and gets replaced by bi-lats.
Heh.

Trump Reaches For A 1930 Tariff Law To Hit Canada With 50% Duties on some things.
Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Imposes Additional Tariffs on Canada
https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/07/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-additional-tariffs-on-canada/
DEFENDING AMERICAN WORKERS AND ENSURING FAIR TRADE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed three Proclamations pursuant to Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose additional 50% tariffs on certain goods of Canada in response to Canada’s discriminatory treatment of American products. By doing so, President Trump is offsetting the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada’s discriminatory treatment of U.S. commerce and is leveling the playing field for crucial American exports—cars, alcohol, and dairy.
* Each Section 338 proclamation imposes a 50% tariff on a different set of Canadian imports, covering products ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement.
* These Section 338 tariffs apply to all covered goods regardless of whether a good originates under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
* These Section 338 tariffs will not apply to energy, potash, products subject to tariffs under Section 232, and certain other goods, such as fish or critical minerals.
* The tariffs will take effect 30 days after signing and are designed to offset the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada’s discrimination.

Trump is being dumb here with Canada.
How about Trump asking Israel to pay for damages to our nation? That’s smarter.
