Ford Defends Canada’s Wildfires | US News
Description
Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford is defiantly countering U.S. criticism over Canada’s wildfires, calling it “absolutely unacceptable” to blame Canadian forest management for smoke blanketing the U.S. He highlights over 655,000 hectares burning and vows no budget limits on firefighting efforts. Ford also challenges President Trump’s tariff threats, suggesting lifting softwood lumber tariffs would help resolve forest management issues. As thousands evacuate — including via Canadian Armed Forces aircraft in Fort Hope — climate experts link the worsening fires to global warming and shifting wind patterns carrying smoke south. While air quality alerts stretch across U.S. states, officials report a slowdown in fire activity and improving weather ahead.
