Trump is reaching with this one. Throwing a 150% Tariff on the "illegal" Border crossing of the down draft of the residual effects of the unfortunate wildfires. Says the "Canadian Borders are porous" and is creating a "smoke screen" for Fentanyl to feed the appetite of Americas working class...

Bad situation there . I thought I saw that both Manitoba and Saskatchewan have had more fires as of June 1 than all of last season. We have been 10+ air quality for the last couple of days but thankfully the wind shifted this afternoon and it’s clear again. Most of the western part of the country needs a good month of steady rain. Here’s praying for at least some. Trump don’t know crap from cornflakes…..

They always send help. Sometimes it's from California, sometimes from Washington the state. etc. Regardless of the orange ape most of the people are nice.

There is something of an international agreement of cooperation regarding fires fortunately. Mexico has sent crews to Canada fairly recently and we sent crews to LA during the big fires last year for example. The way things are shaping up this season we will probably need a lot more coming here. Very scary situation in a lot of Western and Northern Canada right now and it’s only June 2 .

Found this…..

International agreements on fighting forest fires primarily involve bilateral and multilateral cooperation to share resources, personnel, and knowledge for wildfire prevention, suppression, and management.
Key Aspects of International Agreements
• Mutual Aid and Resource Sharing: Agreements enable countries to send fire suppression personnel and equipment across borders to assist in wildfire emergencies. For example, the U.S. has agreements with Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal for mutual support during severe wildfire events.
• Formal and Informal Cooperation: Both formal treaties and informal partnerships exist, often between neighboring countries sharing borders or common disaster management systems. These agreements cover prevention, early warning, joint training, and coordinated response.
• Examples of Bilateral Agreements:
• U.S. and Mexico: Allows crossing borders for wildfire suppression and cooperation beyond the border zone.
• U.S. and Canada: Long-standing coordination between national agencies for resource sharing during peak fire seasons.
• New Zealand and U.S.: Framework for requesting and receiving wildfire suppression resources.
• Various European agreements (e.g., France/Italy, Italy/Switzerland, Spain/Portugal) facilitate mutual assistance in border areas.
• Global and Regional Frameworks: The UN and FAO support international cooperation through working groups and networks like the Global Wildland Fire Network, promoting harmonization of approaches and sustainable fire management.
• Legal and Policy Guidelines: FAO has developed guidelines and templates to assist countries in creating effective bilateral and international forest fire agreements, emphasizing notification, mutual assistance, and joint prevention efforts.
In summary, international agreements on forest fires focus on enabling cross-border firefighting support, sharing expertise, and coordinating prevention and response efforts through formal treaties and cooperative frameworks facilitated by organizations like the UN and FAO
