    Exactly what do they expect Canadians to do?

  3. Republican members of U.S. Congress are slamming Canada’s federal and provincial governments over what they claim is inaction in preventing the wildfires currently spreading smoke and poor air quality across much of the northeastern U.S., in addition to Central Canada.

    The criticism comes in a sharply worded letter from four Michigan members of the House of Representatives, addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

    It accuses Canada of failing to conduct adequate forest maintenance to reduce the risk of wildfires and warns that the U.S. “will look elsewhere, and act on our own” if more action isn’t taken.

    The Republican lawmakers say they are “done accepting apologies in place of action,” and float the idea of taking cross-border fire prevention into U.S. hands.

    “Sovereignty comes with responsibility, and the responsibility to prevent a foreseeable disaster from crossing into another country’s airspace has not been met,” they wrote.

    Two of the politicians have gone even further on social media.

    In a video posted to X, McClain said she has been in touch with the White House, noting that U.S. sent foresters and firefighters last year to Canada “since they aren’t really doing much.”

    James, who is running for governor in Michigan, posted excerpts from the letter and added an image saying, “Canada: No Excuses. Stop The Smoke.”

    Another Republican blaming Canada is Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio.

    Reacting to a social media post about the air quality in Cleveland, Moreno wrote: “I’ll be introducing a bill next week to sanction Canada and the responsible Canadian government officials for this atrocity.”
