Canadian Wildfires signal major L over the United States
-
My favorite part about all these news pieces is how it's always mentioned that Canadian wildfires are smoking over the US.
But then the article shares a picture showing hundreds of fires both North and South of the border. Because fire doesn't give a fuck about your imaginary lines in the dirt...
But somehow the media has to externalize the problem and make it Canadian forests fault that your sky is Smokey and orange.

We need an executive order to stop this
-
I don't get it
-
signal major L just means the shape of the smoke, not something deeper?

So I'm not disagreeing with you about fire not caring about borders. It is worth noting, though, that the border between the US and Canada is not just imaginary. It does have an actual physical demarcation. And that demarcation actually can slow the spread of fire across the border, if only slightly. The trees at the border have been cleared for a 20 foot wide gap, often referred to as "The slash".

Unironically agree. But targeting carbon emissions.

One could argue the L is a manifestation of how nature/canada/the world also views the US country it's situated over.

In my case, it is a concrete marker in the middle of the forest.

Oh goodie, more chances to worry that I might be breathing in some poor Canadians.

5/10 joke, but I'll allow it
