    How about Canada providing sanctions to America for the insidious, creeping forest fire smoke that is invading Canada from California, Ohio and Oregon right now.

    The same Republicans who ignored Canada’s repeated requests to reduce the acid rain the US was sending Canada’s way, those Republicans?

      And if that’s too complicated of a comparison for them: “Don’t complain about Canadian smoke until you deal with American smoke”

      This article came out yesterday: https://www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/article/us-wildfires-responsible-for-much-of-the-smoke-in-bc-region-officials/

      “As wildfire activity increases, so has smoke across many areas of the region. Much of this smoke is originating from fires south of the Canada-U.S. border and will have varying impacts over the coming days,” an update Saturday evening said.

      Ontario Premier Doug Ford was asked Friday about the growing number of American criticisms of wildfire management. In response, he alluded to Canada’s contributions to fighting U.S. fires, including those that ripped through California last year.

      “Maybe what you should do, rather than complain, is send support, send help, because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends, and that’s what you’re supposed to do,” he said.

      Just days before Trump’s post, 56-year-old Canadian pilot Nicholas Dale was killed while fighting a forest fire in Colorado.

      I want to see Canadian countermeasures aimed specifically at the Republican regions that made comments like this.

    I hope every American chokes on the smoke as retaliation for them being too scared to take down their tyranny.

      Any idiot can make Bourbon. There are medal winning Bourbon style whiskeys from BC that are better than that Kentucky piss.

      Some genuinely good Canadian bourbon. Just look for corn whisky aged in oak barrels. Same damn thing. If NAFTA is finally lapsed, then so does the preferential naming. We lose “Canadian Whisky” but nobody gives a shit about that.
