Yes, please do your fucking part to stop global warming.
I look forward to January when we get tariffed for snow storms.

Clown show.
What is the US doing to prevent fires?
Cutting down all the trees for datacenters.
I’m crying and rubbing prayer beads personally
Dismantling the federal wildfire management system, probably.
That tracks
Once the CO2 level gets high enough, fires will just go out. Pretty sure that’s the US plan.
Suffocating the fire with fire. Genius
Killing unarmed civilians in the streets.
Bitching to Canada, obviously?
In other news Republicans cut funding to FEMA because they are a bunch of Socialist bastards and the American people should be able to save themselves./s
The US hasn’t done enough to prevent the climate change that’s causing all these fires!!
Maybe Canada should sweep the forests better.
Why don’t the Americans just stop The Smoke at the border?
Time for a wall!
That smoke is pretty black…
We’ll build a dome and Canada will pay for it!
At this point, I’d gladly have my taxes go to sealing off America.
Have they tried sweeping the forest?
I mean really, have they!?!
As a Canadian, I kind of agree. We have cut funding for fighting wildfires by more than half in the last 5 years and it shows.
You’re saying it was higher under a conservative than a non-conservative? You’re saying a conservative was concerned about people and the environment more than a non-conservative?
I’m gonna need to see the receipts on this one.
Provincial, not federal.
Federally, Canada has not had a Conservative government since late 2015. Though we now have that previous Conservative government’s cental banker as our PM, but he calls himself a Liberal.
Ontario has had a Conservative government since mid-2018.
The problem, as I see it, is that environmentalism has lost a lot of momentum over the past decade. America bailing on the Paris climate accords, twice, really seems to have set the tone for other Western democracies, at least in their sense of urgency on this issue.
In Canada it does not help that the US’s trade war has provided the government with a lot of cover to pursue “energy priorities” without the normal consultation process or environmental considerations.
Why didn’t they rake their ding danged forests!?!
My representative is so fucking infuriating.
It’s true.
Canada is #12 on CO2 emissions per capita, with mostly middle east oil countries above. The US is #16.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions_per_capita
The US cancelled all environmental regulations, because “woke”, so the US can shut the fuck up. The psychopath that shall not be named literally says all the time - drill, baby, drill. So, again, the US can shut the fuck up.
Or maybe, just maybe, we should both be working on this. After all, we are right next to you on the list, and certainly heading the wrong direction.
I’m not sure “shutting the fuck up” is the right way to go.
The issue is the messenger in this case. Republicans have no leg to stand on when it comes to criticizing anyone regarding environmental issues
That’s cool and all but what is anyone supposed to do about it?
Canadian cities are centered around cars.
Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.
Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.
Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.
Same thing as us. One big thing for everyone, not just centered on climate, is get semis (mostly) off the road. Primary method of shipping should be freight trains, for multiple reasons including environmental.
You could feed the damn trains with coal and it’d better for the environment than running a hundred semis across the country and all the road maintenance that requires.
Our last administration was doing pretty well on green energy. We can both do better than 80% if we include nuclear.
EVs over ICE vehicles. Charging stations. Encourage home solar and battery solutions.
Actually regulate industry.
Regulating the seas might be more difficult and require more cooperation.
Honestly it shouldn’t be hard to get out of the top 25 countries for per capita CO2 emissions.
You know whats ironic about EVs and their charge stations?
They’re often running on diesel generators, very common on Tesla charge stations
How’s Newsmax treating you?
Never heard of it
Canadian cities are centered around cars.
…currently.
Winters are harsh, summers are plenty hot.
Insulation is neat.
Most power is supplied via 80% non fossil fuels and trending in the right direction.
Woo!
Obviously theres room for improvement but Canada is just not positioned to have low per capita emissions, it will always be lagging on this point.
Especially if we tried nothing else and got nowhere.
Look; I agree we’re not gonna get there with a red government; we certainly aren’t getting there under a blue one with their love of selling dinosaur juice and dinosaur farts.
But we can’t get a happy shiny gov when everyone’s fear-voting to avoid the racist ponzi-schene alternative; or fear-voting to avoid losing grip on the dream of just one more tax break for the rich-bitches to start that golden trickle-down.
So my thing is, get a new voting setup. I like the simplest, because the rest are too hard for people to care about, but yeah. And while we’re already 10 years out and even more fucked than now, at least the rich bastards will be dead and we can kumbaya around the burning husk of civilisation (because everything’s burning) knowing we’re maybe on a better path.
When our descendants revert back to conservatism and invade the surface world, at least we’ll have left them the seeds of a better world to grow up here while they’re down there hiding from the radiation.
No clue how to reply to schizo posting like this.
Well done
We’ve apologized for Alberta numerous times.
Not interested in what diarrhea of the mouth Republicans spew…
Having said that, Canada has done little to prevent wildfires; all our politicians are in the pocket of big oil and seem to be too stupid to realize that if they at least try to mitigate the climate disaster, the public is more likely to give them a pass

They are in the pocket of big oil, and you think ‘big oil’ wants there to be massive wildfire bringing attention to climate change?
I see you misread my comment… happens to the best of us
Yeah there is misinformation going around, that somehow Canada can manage wild forest that are burning due to climate change, always more to be done on the climate front.
we can do the right thing and stop feeding the causes of climate change
Stop smoking will not cure the lung cancer we already have but will certainly help with any treatment we go for
