The U.S. has sent firefighters, as has Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Costa Rica, Spain and France.

So I guess someone is doing something about Canada.

I don’t think that people dying from trying to fight the thing that’s wrong is going to make Americans any less likely to think canada needs to do more to prevent it from happening

If the smoke we keep getting was coming from Mexico or if an Asian or African country was our neighbor and the smoke was coming from there, folks here would be in an uproar about them being irresponsible and lacking accountability, but since it's Canada we'll just stare at our hands.

Why must they worry, the air is being pushed down towards us anyway.




If the world were totally different, people would say different things.



Omg. How did I miss this crazy post with its wonderful responses.

I met a Canadian then other day and they said they are all just eating Poutine and getting coffee at Tim Horton’s.

So as to what I'm doing about the climate change situation, I'm driving and flying less (summer vacation this year by train), eating less meat, entering the DC composting pickup trial, unsubscribing to Amazon prime and cutting down on shopping in general, and not having another child. I'm also directing my donations to groups working on these things and not voting for anyone who denies climate change.

Yes, I'm still imperfect and annoyingly self righteous about this, but what's it going to take to get people to care? Our sky is literally gray.

What are you doing about Canada?


Don't get the vibe this one was on the table

One fire is now about 6 miles away from Kamloops, BC.

These are the fires that efforts are being focussed on - those threatening homes and people. "Let it burn" isn't the entire approach.

Just an FYI, outside of soccer mom world, "littles" are the submissives in D&S relationships.

Dumb and Stupid? Seems fitting to those who use “littles”.

The fires are literally in the unpopulated and largely inaccessible areas of the boreal forest, hundreds of miles away from populations. Would you like Canada to go rake the leaves in areas that are unpopulated? Do you know how big canada is? Do you have a map?


They need to do something other than eating Tim Hortons all day


Tim Hortons was serially bought by an American company and now it kind of sucks, so we don’t really eat it much anymore.


Really? Just stopped at Tim Horton’s outside of Toronto today and I couldn’t say how the food was because there were already 20 people in line and we moved on.

The air quality is fine here, btw.

They are fighting the fires, and some are dying in the process you dumbass.

Canadian here. I really wanted to say this yesterday but was trying to be polite. Sorry but Tim Hortons is blah now. My Firefighter husband is too busy fighting fires to explain what Canada is doing, worst fire season ever in Canada.

Disturbingly- a faint scent of burning plastic is detectable, as well.

Last night , we were going for a walk, and the air outside was noticeably hazy. We could see haze hanging in the air. We went inside. This doesn’t seem right.

Particulate matter carried in the air can do so much damage to our bodies, more than just our lungs.


Interesting how climate systems work. I'm in Toronto and don't see or smell anything.


It is!

That’s part of why some of us are upset. We’re getting the downwind.

This is not true. "Littles" are part of a specific age play that involves roleplaying as a child/childlike behavior. Most dom/sub relationships do not have an age play factor and do not refer to the sub as a little.
