Michigan members of Congress urge Canada to act on wildfires, saying patience has run out [JR0ZStySDeV]

In response to the wildfire smoke blanketing Michigan and other parts of the northern Midwest, members of the U.S. Congressional delegation from Michigan have sent a letter to Canada's Prime Minister seeking action. The letter from Republican Reps. Jack Bergman, John James, Lisa McClain and John Moolenaar cites repeated conversations with Canadian officials and a previous letter, which have so far culminated in what they called a "lack of meaningful progress." The representatives wrote that continued inaction from Canada is unacceptable, maintaining its government has had years to address the underlying causes of worsening wildfires. And yet, they said, American families continue to bear the consequences. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WWMT on Facebook: WWMT on Twitter: Subscribe to WWMT on YouTube: WWMT Daily News Digest: For more information, visit Have a news tip?
