Trump threatens Canada with tariffs for smoke blanketing the US
President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to impose additional tariffs on Canada, blaming the country for wildfire smoke that has blanketed large swaths of the United States.
“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable,” the Republican president wrote on Truth Social Friday afternoon.
Trump added that he planned to call Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to discuss how his government intends to respond.
Trump won't get much out of Carney apart from gibberish - and maybe some gesticulation.

It was a mere basic inability to front novel situations which was somehow in the dragoman; he retreated from everything difficult in a smoke of gibberish and gesticulation.

Could it be the actions of the American Wind Association (apparently a genuine organisation) that is causing a shortfall in American wind, leaving the Canadian Wind Organisation (no idea) to make up the shortfall, inadvertently bringing smoke with it?
Politics on the North American continent is becoming more and more like a Marx brothers film script.

Penseivat - maybe the American Wind Association could pull together, power up their wind turbines with electricity from proper power stations and blow the smoke back into Canada, finally demonstrating that wind turbines do have a use.
