I will argue that the source of the chemicals is not relevant right now. We know what's in the smoke is "bad". Bad enough that we need to hold Canada accountable for their actions (or inactions).

It would be beneficial to residents of both countries if Trump (or congress) would come down hard on them.

Could humidity really change the chemicals though?

Yes. Some chemicals get more toxic when hydrated.

I get that. Wet dogs smell different from dry dogs (for example) and it is possible that there are other things in the mix besides trees, but I just wish we could have some proof. I'd be more comfortable with the smell of burnt plastic if I were sure that it's burnt plastic and not burnt asbestos.

We all do what we can. In my case, I avoid buying anything made in Canada.

Maybe if I was Elon, I could build a giant fan and blow the smoke back over Canada. :)

I've been wishing for a Tricorder for a long time now. It would expose sooooo many Leftist plots.

The way I look at it is this: The smoke is unhealthy, even if we don't know exactly what's in it. So that's how I handle the smoke.

I try to avoid the "McDonalds Coffee" thinking.
Them: They served it at 200F instead of 180F causing more serious burns.
Me: 180F, 200F, both are painfully hot and I will take precautions to not spill it on myself.

My wish came true overnight or early this morning: 50% tariffs on many Canadian goods.

Prime Minister Carney said "the tariffs are in violation of north American trade agreements." (So many words, but still no apology!)

But the smoke needs to go all the way up to Quebec for Carney to take a whiff.

For now we just have to use the BS2000 and the TDS meter.

That's true. I have a habit of worrying about things too much. Trump has our back and we are blessed.

And that wasn't even because of the smoke. It was because Canada was violating the trade agreements.

I'd mention something about where Carney's nose is. But no... :)

I didn't know about that until now. That explains why leftie Carney said what he said (accuse others of what he is guilty of.) Still, I'm satisfied with the timing of Trump's response and by the magnitude of the tariffs.

Canada's not what it used to be. They used to do so many things right compared to the USA, but now they're f'ing up bigtime.

Standard negotiation. You don't start out light. You start off heavy, then you can pull some of it back as a "gesture of good will" and still win.

But Leftoids aren't used to negotiating. It's their way or the highway. The only problem is that they aren't in a position of power to demand their way.

Because the Elitists took over and are using the country for their plans.

That's smart, so of course the American TDS sufferers are going to fight it.

Of course. "Trump evil" is what the TV tells them to think every morning.
