Clouds of Toxic Canadian Crud Are Once Again Blanketing U.S.

Is it the apocalypse? No, it's the Canadians.

Once again, parts of the lower 48 are being victimized by our neighbors to the north, whose increasingly lax forestry management practices are allowing their forest fires to burn uncontrolled, leaving plumes of thick smoke to snake their way down into the U.S., reaching as far south as North Carolina.

As Amy Curtis over at our sister site Townhall noted, we're being treated to the plumes of smoke and pervasive orange haze blocking the sun due to Canada's attempt to achieve "net zero" carbon emissions. They apparently think the way to achieve that is by refusing to do "proper forest management to prevent and mitigate wildfires."

Can you imagine the global outcry if the positions were reversed and it was the U.S.'s poor forest management skills affecting the Canucks? The eco warriors – or what our own Ward Clark likes to call the "climate scolds" – would be hair-on-fire mad and throwing tomato soup on every Van Gogh they could find.

You'd think this would at least call for the mass dumping of maple syrup into Lake Ontario, right? Curiously, the climate zealots are quiet on this one.

Of course, there are very real consequences for the U.S. and its citizens. Here in the D.C. area, the air quality is approaching some of the most dangerous levels we've ever seen – it's apparently worse than the 2023 invasion of Canadian irritants.

Don't let anyone claiming that this pestilence is merely a natural disaster get away with that nonsense. It's not. It's a man-made disaster, and those "men" are the Canadians.
