Trump Regime Sends Letter To Canadian Ambassador Demanding Canada Control the Weather In The US

It's Epstein File Distraction Day! What better way to celebrate than to blame Canada's forest fires and "arson" for ruining summer for Americans

A Letter So Dumb, It Should Be Framed in a Museum of Misinformation

Today, U.S. Congressmen Tom Tiffany (WI) and Brad Finstad (MN) sent a formal complaint letter to Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman, whining about "suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke" blanketing the U.S. Their solution? Canada should just...stop the wildfires. Their reasoning? Arson, lazy forest management, and a sprinkle of nationalist blame-shifting on National “Epstein File Distraction Day.”

Let’s rip this thing apart with facts, data, and the surgical precision of someone who knows the difference between a lightning strike and a matchstick.

CLAIM #1: Canadian Fires Are Caused by Arson

Tiffany and Finstad: "We've seen things like arson as another way multiple large wildfires have ignited in Canada."

Reality Check: According to the Canadian National Fire Database (CNFDB), lightning is responsible for ~50% of Canadian wildfires but causes over 85% of the total area burned. Arson, when it happens, accounts for less than 10%. In 2023, over 93% of the area burned was lightning-caused. That's not arson. That's climate-fueled nature punching back.

Verdict: Tiffany and Finstad need to Google "lightning" and “climate change” but they won’t. Theyre both evangelical MAGA extremist who sweore a blood oath to Jesus/Trump. Not sure who comes first…

CLAIM #2: Poor Forest Management Is to Blame

The letter: "A lack of active forest management" is a key driver.

Reality Check: Canada has one of the most sophisticated wildfire monitoring and response systems in the world, coordinated through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. Most of Canada's forests are in remote, boreal regions with little to no human access, let alone active mismanagement. Meanwhile, the U.S. sees 70,000 wildfires annually (Canada, 8,000), often in populated areas and on federal lands that Trump himself underfunded.

Verdict: LOL.

CLAIM #3: Wildfire Smoke Is Ruining the American Summer

Reality Check: We agree: smoke sucks. But smoke doesn’t carry a passport. It’s the byproduct of rising global temperatures, droughts, and longer fire seasons—all driven by climate change, which the MAGA crowd still denies. If you want your grandkids outside, maybe stop voting for climate arsonists. And I’m pretty sure ICE raids are ruining more summers than smoke from Canada’s Boreal Forests.

THE REALITY: CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT CONSPIRACY

Wildfire season in both Canada and the U.S. is intensifying because the planet is heating up. The Center for Climate and Energy Solutions reports a 1°C temperature rise can increase the area burned in the U.S. West by 600%. Canada is warming twice as fast as the global average. This isn't a management issue. It's a planetary emergency. One that Tom and Brad are helping further by blaming forest fires on arson and not cleaning the forest “floors.”

Legit.

THE DISTRACTION: Smoke, Scandal, and Subpoenas

So why did this letter really drop on July 7? Easy. It’s distraction theater.

• July 8: Trump melts down after a DOJ/FBI Epstein memo confirms no secret client list and declares Epstein's death a suicide.

• Same week: House GOP revives investigations into James Comey and John Brennan.

• Also July 8: Trump waives executive privilege over Biden’s doctor so he can be publicly grilled about Joe’s health.

Tiffany and Finstad’s letter is political air freshener for a MAGA movement that reeks of failure, fraud, and cover-ups. Blame Canada? No. Blame the authoritarian playbook.

WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT: Project 2025 and Climate Denial/Distraction from Trump’s nuclear and ongoing Epstein coverup

Trump’s Project 2025 playbook calls for ending climate science, gutting environmental agencies, and revoking clean energy laws. It even suggests annexing Canadian resources, portraying Canada as a national security "challenge."

This isn’t about forests. It’s about fascism wrapped in maple-scented scapegoating. And no better time to send another bizarre threat to Canada than two days after Trump got caught red-handed suppressing the Epstein files.

Nice kakistocracy you got there, America. Canada is looking forward to the day when uneducated cult members and drunk Fox News hosts aren’t running your country and interfering with their dementia addled, low-IQ Dear Leader.

I’m sure you are too.
