@cyberlyra@hachyderm.io We call them "Canadian Wildfires" only because they are located in Canada, not because they are necessarily Canada's fault. That being said, Canada is also not entirely without blame. Canadians rank significantly higher in total energy consumption per capita than Americans.
Of course, in overall impact, yes, there are many more Americans, so as I actually said the other day, we Americans bear the majority of the blame.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus @cyberlyra@hachyderm.io Maybe stop labelling them as such because it perpetuates the myth.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus @cyberlyra@hachyderm.io We are a huge country by land mass, 2nd in the world, and our population is approximately the same as California, so until everyone can afford to switch to green energy or we discover how to teleport people and goods like groceries, I don't understand how you think we can reduce emissions caused by individuals. Any suggestions?
