Trump wants Canada to pay for wildfire smoke
U.S. President Donald Trump says the economic cost of wildfire smoke drifting into the United States should be added to the tariffs Canada already faces, accusing Ottawa of failing to manage its forests.
“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air,” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.
Calling the situation “Willful Negligence,” Trump said the smoke has become a yearly problem costing the U.S. “Billions of Dollars,” adding that “this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying.”
Trump is the latest American politician to blame Canada for the cross-border smoke. Keep Reading
Conservatives warn Bill C-3 could hand Canadian citizenship to foreign criminals
Conservatives are warning that the Carney Liberals are devaluing Canadian citizenship after Bill C-3 came into force without requiring language tests, citizenship exams or discretionary security screening for people recognized as citizens by descent.
Because Bill C-3 treats eligible applicants as citizens by operation of law rather than new immigrants, those recognized retroactively need only prove an unbroken line of Canadian ancestry to obtain a citizenship certificate.
“Should a person with a criminal record be entitled to automatic citizenship in Canada? The Liberal government seems to think so,” Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner said Jul. 16.
The Conservatives argue Bill C-3 could allow foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes to obtain Canadian citizenship without undergoing the same vetting required of immigrants. Keep Reading

That same lack of accountability was on full display this week after a Canadian woman attacked a Trump supporter in New Jersey. The victim was only a teenager, and the incident quickly made headlines on both sides of the border. Watch now

I am sure the $125 million we gave to suppress forest fires to Brazil will be a big help in Ontario. But, Trump is correct, the fuel on the forest floor has been ignored for far too long with obvious results.
I think he is trying to make the point that canadian govt refuses to do any forest maintenance to help prevent wildfires, and canada sends billions to.subsidize ukrine war, gender ideology in the Caribbean, and won't spend money to improve fire fighting equipment! Dangerous for Canadians and our neighbors!
