Let's Talk About Wildfire Smoke

Northern Ontario remains in the grip of one of the worst wildfire seasons in recent memory, and the smoke has become an international issue. After President Donald Trump and U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra criticized Canada's approach to wildfire prevention and forest management, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford fired back. You'll hear all sides of the debate in today's episode. Scott argues that Canadians should try something that's becoming increasingly rare: ignore who is making the argument and focus on whether the argument has merit. If devastating wildfires and hazardous smoke are becoming an annual event, is it time to rethink Canada's forest management strategy? Scott examines the politics, the responses from both governments, and why finding long-term solutions should matter more than partisan talking points.
