  1. 😢😢😢 pls read ..😮😮😢😢 I can imagine if trump will be the president and the Russian will attack the pentagon and White House Trump just like Covid will say … ITS FaKe News ! We can’t allow this man anymore to rule in this country ! Trump killed many Americans like sedition Covid – all failures! Too bad 😢😢😢😢😢😢

  2. Canada has the money to fly a reconnaissance plane to patrol the South China Sea, but no plane to put out the fire?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  3. Ohhh Lord Stop this fire please 🙏

  4. In fact, from beginning of June- all Hot weather Air and pollution- all came from the South ( US and Mexico) to Canada, and that’s cause wildfire in Canada. Stop being selfish and help those who are affected.

  5. When it crosses the border, it becomes American smoke.

    Also, if you dont like it, do something about the global warming you guys created over the last 200 years

  6. The USA did this!! They sent drones and started these fires. You will pay.

  7. Southern WI & Northern has had crappy air for the last 2 1/2 weeks! Air was better in NYC today! 
    And it’s not just Ordinary “humans” , the US Military is the #1 contributor to Climate Change

  8. Stop lying to people what climate change they was doing something they dont want people to see

  9. Indoor air pollution can be 2x-10x more polluted compared to the outside. This is normal but no one government agency takes it serious and take action about it

  10. there go that catch phrase "new normal" lol

  11. It's like that in LA every year

  12. Wawawawa get overer it this is a common problem in the southwest

  13. this is gonna be a new normal. GG world

  14. "new normal". Get ready for climate change lockdowns and 😷😷. Perhaps more hokees ala pokeys to help

  15. Hypochondriacs anxious uncomfortable heeded warnings problem isn't going away climate change

  16. Forest management?

  17. Are severe fires burning out of control in China or Russia?

  18. If I could sue Canada I would.

  19. News media blames climate change whenever possible. Nonsense ….

  20. Canada should JUST DROP BROKEN GLACIERS/ICE CAPS ON THE WILDFIRES!

  21. I thought only here in India we have air pollution but USA seems to be terrible. Here no such bizzare probs.

  22. Ppl need to stop blaming Canada. Canada cannot control mother nature

  23. Wouldn't stop me from smoking a cig outside

  24. 🔥 Don't blame the fire on climate. Blame it where blame is deserved – the politics/ fire mismanagement incompetence and evil intent

  25. California, western USA yearly wildfires. But for some reason I feel Americans will blame Canada. Especially when the media keeps saying “from Canada” ………says a lot

  26. Another factor is all the deadfall from Hurricane Fiona. Lots of trees knocked over and brush dried out.
    Then it lights up and this happens. And this is early for fire season. Forest fires are not like this until August.

  27. 0:13 Why are we using footage from the movie WALL-E?

  28. New York be like:💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 the most polluted city in the world ever forever

  29. Climate is same. We human has to change .

  30. Climate change is code for give us more money

  31. Welcome to the life of a west coaster.

  32. <Amazing❤️🙌Being able to provide all my needs without
    the help of the Government is really a dream come through and I'm getting $50,000 returns from my 10k investment, Glory to the everlasting God almighty.
