Hello, everyone! A little backstory - I met my Canadian husband several years ago online, and then moved here in 2024. I love it here, and happily going through the immigration process and making plans to attend college. But today, seeing Americans post this dumb shit about the wildfire smoke and how Canada needs to "fix it" - with what, a big ass fan? - makes me so absolutely EMBARASSED to be from there. I legit thought it was satire because SURELY, they couldnt be that dumb???
I was wrong.
I'm sorry, Canadians. One day I will officially be one of you, but for now Im sorry that you have to deal with the ignorance, and the lack of empathy and compassion. These people seem to forget that wildfires = people being displaced, losing their homes, sometimes their lives. and people are complaining because their precious spawn cant play outside? Give me a break. People have DIED, including a Canadian man who was helping the US fight fires. These fires are killing wildlife, too, which is bigger than a lot of people understand.
So, please keep in mind that not all of us are this dumb and uneducated to complain about smoke. To take to social media and blame Canada for this. It's stupid and I just cant wrap my mind around the whole thing.
