Are you fucking kidding me?
“With all the technology that we have at our disposal, both in preventing and fighting wildfires, this
worrisome trend can be reversed if proper action is taken.”
Right. Bet you can reverse global warming too. Go ahead. Try it. Please.
“Our constituents have been limited in their ability to go outside and safely breathe due to the
dangerous air quality the wildfire smoke has created. In our neck of the woods, summer months
are the best time of the year to spend time outdoors recreating, enjoying time with family, and
creating new memories, but this wildfire smoke makes it difficult to do all those things.”
Oh poor babies. That’s not the case here in Canada. Nope. Not at all.
And yeah, never mind the loss of trees, the increase in carbon emissions (and, then, further increase in warming, leading to further fires), and the loss of lives. You can’t recreate outdoors, enjoy time with family, and create new memories. That’s what’s important. Got it.
“Canada has been a friendly neighbor of the United States and the states we represent …” Excuse me? What states do you represent? Are you sure?
“We look forward to your response.”
Okay, here it is: You want fewer forest fires? Reduce your fossil fuel emissions. That’s what’s largely causing global warming, which is increasing the number and severity of forest fires.
So why don’t you go ahead with that and in the meantime, we’ll see if we can change the direction of the wind for you.
