Trump threatens to increase tariffs on Canada for failing to do more in wildfire management. Seriously? Wtf? In times of need, we send help & what do we get in return? So much for being good neighbours but this is to be expected with this administration... Maybe we should stop sending help, clearly they don't appreciate it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/us-complaints-trump-widlfire-smoke-9.7274466 #Canada #US #Wildfire #cdnpoli #uspoli
