Had to deal with this smoke while camping here in Canada. According to some reports this fire was started by an arsonist, unlike the massive fires in Northwest Ontario started by acts of god. With this in mind, I am concerned with the safety of our WA neighbours.

First before and after aerials of Spokane, WA. 800 houses/structures burned so far, and the fire is still 0% contained. Worst fire season in over 30 years for the northwest US. 📷 Nearmap

They ran out of rakes so I had to use my own. Bought it 2 years ago at Canadian Fire.

For anyone who needs a laugh today… This may be the most Canadian response to cross-border wildfire complaints I’ve ever read Apparently all we need to do is 🍁 Rake the forest 🍁 Vacuum the wilderness 🍁 Tell the smoke to stay in Canada Problem solved 😂🇨🇦 #Canada #Humour #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

For Immediate Release Government of Canada Announces F.U.C.K. O.F.F. Initiative to Address Cross-Border Smoke Concerns Ottawa, Ontario - May 23, 2026 - In response to a recent letter from members of the United States Congress expressing concern about Canadian wildfire smoke and dismay at Canada's apparent lack of forest management, the Government of Canada is pleased to confirm that the message has been received loud and clear: As a responsible neighbour and longstanding friend, Canada recognizes the importance of ensuring that smoke from Canadian wildfires does not impact the health, air quality, or outdoor enjoyment of our American friends. Accordingly, the Government of Canada today announced the immediate launch of the Forest Undergrowth Clearing & Kindling Operation for Foreign Friends (F.U.C.K. O.F.F.) Initiative. Beginning tomorrow at 0800 hours, every able-bodied Canadian between the ages of 16 and 65 will be drafted into the newly established Department of National Forest Tidiness. Each participant will be issued: One government-approved rake One pair of work gloves • One reflective safety vest One large double-double • A designated section of Canada's approximately 347 million hectares of forest Participants will be responsible for removing leaves, pine needles, twigs, deadfall, brush, branches, moss, bark, shrubs, and any other materials deemed insufficiently tidy by congressional observers. All collected debris must be arranged into neat, bilingual piles and submitted for inspection by a federal forestry compliance officer. Additional measures under the initiative will include: Sweeping the Rocky Mountains Vacuuming the boreal forest Power-washing the Canadian Shield Installing smoke detectors throughout the Yukon Requiring all future wildfires to remain within clearly marked provincial boundaries Ensuring that no smoke crosses the international border without first reporting to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Nothing says ‘freedom’ like burning taxpayer money on dirt bikes at the White House for a billionaire’s birthday party. Bread’s expensive, rent’s worse, but sure, let’s fund a midlife crisis with fireworks and motocross. Peak empire decay. America is not a serious country.

violent rhetoric from the right starts all the way from the president at the top, and goes all the way down to the fringe randos. violent rhetoric from the left is confined to the fringe randos. can you spot the difference
