Thick wildfire smoke in Winnipeg is once again keeping residents indoors, and U.S. lawmakers are criticizing the cross-border impact.

Some U.S. members of Congress are demanding “better forest management” in Canada, saying “suffocating” wildfire smoke is dangerous and makes it difficult to “get outside.”

“As we are entering the height of the fire season, we would like to know how your government plans on mitigating wildfire(s) and the smoke that makes its way south,” Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany and Minnesota Rep. Brad Finstad said in a letter addressed to the Canadian embassy in D.C.

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew responded, accusing American congressmembers of politicizing tragedy for “likes on Instagram.”

The province declared its second state of emergency Thursday, with over a million hectares burned.
