While everyone is working tirelessly at trying to control a disaster that is being exacerbated by climate change, Karen demands to talk to the manager.

This is hilarious considering they fucked over the EPA provision that prevented one state’s emissions from harming another (eg Ohio smoke causing acid rain in upstate NY).

I’m calling it. Pretty soon Trump is going to demand the construction of giant fans along the US/Canada border to blow all the smoke back into Canada.

  Nah, this is America. They'll be powered by gasoline and cost tax payers $500k per day to operate.

Or join the US as the CHERISHED 51st STATE, and then the smoke would be AMERICAN smoke and ket me tell you - don't we love american smoke!

And I demand the US curbs the air pollution affecting Canada during July 4th fireworks displays but that's not going to happen is it lol

They could take action themselves and enact better climate policies. Could have done so decades ago and maybe we wouldn’t have record wildfires every year.
