Drifting U.S. wildfire smoke prompts Canadian air warnings as tariff talk flares
TL;DR Summary
British Columbia issued air quality alerts as smoke from Washington and Oregon fires drifts north, with warnings for Kootenay Lake and Cranbrook; Washington and Oregon together host about 22 large fires as Canada reports 843 active blazes nationwide. Amid the smoke, Donald Trump threatened tariffs over the pollution, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said fighting climate change is a shared responsibility and Ontario's Doug Ford urged support rather than blame, noting Canada’s C$12 billion spent on fire prevention over five years.
