"Do something about it?"  What exactly do you DO to prevent forest fires in tens of thousands of square miles of impenetrable, roadless boreal forest?   Access only by float plane or lengthy canoe trips.   The Ontario boreal forest is more than twice as big as the entire state of Michigan.  DO?   DO?   

The summers up there are much drier now and noticeably warmer due to global warming.  Dry lightning strikes start the vast majority of these fires.   Then the winds blow the smoke wherever.

My pessimistic view, sadly, is that the forest fires will continue and become even more frequent over the years.  The new reality.

"Pollster Nate Silver’s averages show Democrats with a 6-point lead, putting the party at 48 percent support to Republicans’ 42 percent."

It'll be interesting to see if this trend holds up with more progressive candidates prevailing in the party.

It's hard to imagine the Republicans will suffer anything other than a miserable defeat in the midterms right now.

Remember those signs from 2024 about vote Trump for low prices and Kamala for high prices? They seem absurd now.

Because I, the original 'guy up north of the US border' on this forum, never said anything like what you have said that I said.
