I don't think they're doing it intentionally.
You’d be wrong
We purposely heated the globe by burning fossil fuels even though we knew this would happen
Yeah but you can't attribute a global act to just Canada. They aren't a scapegoat.
Why not?
They’re not even in the top ten of the largest CO2 contributing nations.

Don’t worry, we over here at the west coast will be engulfed in flames soon enough.
I preemptively apologized for this a few weeks ago, but didn't call it being the West's fault. As stated before though, the states around and further south of Ontario and Quebec should brace themselves. It was a warm winter with nowhere near the proper amount of snow, so I expect a dry AF summer for us.
Not even bothering to get a fire permit this year, didn't get to use it last year.
Sorry, eh
Axing the (carbon) Tax will surely help
Axe the rebate would make a good campaign slogan

Dated reference, but if you grew up in or before the 90s, you'll know what I mean.
Manitoba has one that covers, as of Saturday, 35,000 hectares (86487 acres) and is 38 kms long x 12 kms wide (24 mi x 7.5 mi).
I live in Duluth and it was crazy yesterday! This smoke filled the air and it was nearly impossible to breathe outside for any amount of time. I don't really like these last few summers....
