Dean Blundell: Trump Regime Sends Letter To Canadian Ambassador Demanding Canada Control the Weather In The US<\/a><\/h2>\n

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

\nCLAIM #1: Canadian Fires Are Caused by Arson<\/em><\/p>\n

Tiffany and Finstad: “We’ve seen things like arson as another way multiple large wildfires have ignited in Canada.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reality Check:<\/em> 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<\/em>. Arson, when it happens, accounts for less than 10%. In 2023, over 93%<\/em> of the area burned was lightning-caused. That’s not arson. That’s climate-fueled nature punching back.

\nCLAIM #2: Poor Forest Management Is to Blame<\/em><\/p>\n

The letter: “A lack of active forest management” is a key driver.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reality Check:<\/em> 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<\/em>, let alone active mismanagement. Meanwhile, the U.S. sees 70,000 wildfires annually (Canada, 8,000)<\/em>, often in populated areas and on federal lands that Trump himself underfunded.
