EPA Needs to Regulate Canada

[HEMIMANN]

I love the thread devolving into another diesel vs. gas fight!

I'm a diesel guy at heart - it's efficient and torquey. But the zero emission thing is just....problematic for them. So I drive the 6.4. I worked for a diesel company and I owned the first Ram 6BT5.9 diesel truck, and still own a diesel tractor.

I should have titled the thread "EPA Needs to regulate wildfires", I didn't mean to pick solely on Canada - it's just that here in Minnesota, it so happens to be where the smoke is coming from over our state. I am well aware USA smoke goes into Canada, and Indonesia smoke all over the globe.

My POINT is that EPA micro-regulating every particle from every engine exhaust is absurd nonsense just to remain employed from their out-dated mission, while wildfires pour billions of TONS of particulates into the air.

It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood!

It's hitting down here in TN the next few days, but it beats the sever T-storms and tornado's we have been having.

The problem isn’t the wind direction on earth or the wild fires (we’ve had forest fires since we’ve had trees.) it’s our ability to fight these fires, instead of billions spent on water bombers and fire fighting equipment it’s spend on useless social programs. Don’t hate Canada , hate our government , just like most of us

Lol, my truck tows more than most diesels I see, diesels here are just compensating for, well you fill in the blank I wouldn't know.

Have you ever owned one?

There is a reason why country folks run trucks and machinery with diesels , because they are working 10 to 18 hrs a day, I know a couple that run 24 hrs a day for a week other then fuel and service stops.

Mind you I don't care what you drive, but what's with the insults?

BTW last 2 days in sw west Sask. have been OK.
I know how a couple of those fires started, One of the granddaughter's guy is up there fighting them. BTW it is not lightning, But last yr that was the case with some. There was also a house hit in town .

Mt Etna just erupted so that probably negates everything the EPA ever did for air quality.

They say there wasn't this many, this often. 100% fire suppression is also coming back to haunt us - too much underbrush not allowed to burn regularly. Still off the main point of my thread - EPA is over-regulating while pretending huge air pollution sources don't exist.

I remember when Mount Pinatubo blasted in the Philippines, it put so much ash in the atmosphere that the global temperature lowered something like 3 degrees for a year!

No. My opinion on diesels: "I'd rather tow with a diesel, but own a gas".

Of course, diesels are king in heavy machinery. But remember we're talking light trucks here, and when gassers can do the job, they're (IMHO) the better tool.

Mind you I don't care what you drive, but what's with the insults?

It was just a bit of ribbing. I'm sure @DILLIGAF (who I replied to) understands it, he dishes it out like candy on Christmas

Just a wild guess:

'They're practically the 51st state!' How this movie predicted Canada-U.S. relations 30 years ago

In the film Canadian Bacon, an unpopular US president picks a fight with his northern neighbours. A key scene takes place at a hockey game.

YEAH! One thing and one thing only that I approve of the Orangutan’s agenda: Make Canada a 51st state…. so I CAN MOVE THERE without changing my citizenship and keep /carry firearms !!! ….and so those wonderful folks votes can also be counted in THIS country.

See.....I am the opposite.....I would move to the USA. I am done with living up here.
You have no idea how expensive it is to live up here.

 

[CrazyHarleyGuy]

If Trump would make us the 51st to 62nd states,there might be more support,as i think alot of the sticking points is lumping all of Canada into 1 state,that's a bit of a sticky point

There is more support than the media tells you for sure.

 

[Big_John]

Trump needs to END the EPA

Let me guess you voted for Carney. Eastern Canada needs a slap upside the head

I've often wondered how many Priuses it takes to cancel out the 2-cycle motorcycles and pedi-cabs in India?

I've never wondered that once. I've wondered many times why anybody would voluntarily go to India, though.

Did you just try to no lift shift your keyboard? Or have a stroke?

I have been to India many times for work. It really is not that bad of a place if you can get out of the big cities, pretty much like any other country.
