Republicans have ramped up their feud with Canada with a bizarre demand that the country’s northern neighbors stop their wildfire smoke from drifting into the U.S.
Reps. Elise Stefanik and Nick Langworthy wrote in a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that their constituents in New York are facing “unacceptable levels of smoke” from ongoing Canadian wildfires, which are harming residents’ “health and daily lives.”
“Wildfire smoke is now a regular issue in New York,” they wrote in the letter Wednesday, citing recent air quality alerts, canceled events, and warnings to stay indoors. “Families across the state are forced to stay indoors during summer, a time usually spent outside.”
