My post yesterday about the Canadian wildfires clearly struck a nerve with many Canadians, leading to some intense backlash and harassment. I didn’t fully understand it at first—until I spoke directly with several of them in my DMs. After those conversations, they were gracious enough to explain their frustrations and even apologize.⁣ ⁣ I want to clarify my intent, because it seems to have been misunderstood.⁣ ⁣ My comments were never meant to blame the Canadian people or suggest they don’t care. Wildfires are devastating, and my heart goes out to everyone impacted—those who’ve lost homes, those forced to evacuate, and especially the firefighters and first responders risking their lives every day.⁣ ⁣ My questions were directed at governments, not ordinary citizens. When something of this magnitude affects public health and safety, it’s entirely reasonable to ask what preventive measures were taken, how officials are responding now, and what more can be done to protect people going forward.⁣ ⁣ These are fair questions no matter which country is involved—and recent audits and reviews back up why they matter. Provinces have faced criticism for chronic underfunding of firefighting budgets, poor planning, and coordination breakdowns between jurisdictions. Decades of aggressive fire suppression have also allowed fuels to build up in many forests, making fires more intense when they do start.⁣ ⁣ In my NEWSMAX interview yesterday, I expressed the same frustration: this crisis should not become another opportunity for politicians like Zohran Mamdani to exploit the “climate crisis” narrative. The more pressing issue is who is being held accountable for the mismanagement of these fires that are destroying lives, homes, and communities?⁣ ⁣ I’m also asking how Michigan is handling the smoke’s impact on our own residents and whether cross-border cooperation is being used effectively. Are we helping our Canadian neighbors or just looking the other way? ⁣ ⁣ We can—and should—acknowledge the very real human suffering while still demanding better preparedness, accountability, and results. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.⁣

WHO IS ACTUALLY BUYING THIS? Serious question for Roop Raj: Have you actually done your due diligence on Michigan’s voter rolls & documented cases of noncitizens voting before accepting the premise that everything is fine? Because Michigan’s OWN Department of State confirmed 15 credible cases of apparent noncitizens voting in the 2024 election. Thirteen were referred for potential prosecution. Remember the Chinese national studying at U-M who allegedly registered, falsely claimed U.S. citizenship & CAST A BALLOT? That happened too. Does that prove widespread voter fraud? No. Does it prove the system is incapable of allowing an ineligible person to vote? Also no. And Michigan continues removing outdated registrations. Benson’s own administration says more than 1.1 MILLION have been removed since she took office. So when we’re told the voter rolls are “clean”, what exactly does that mean? Then there’s the DOJ. U.S. Department of Justice requested Michigan’s unredacted voter-registration database. Jocelyn Benson refused & provided a redacted version instead, arguing DOJ lacked the legal authority to demand the complete file and raising privacy concerns. But let’s be clear: we’re talking about the U.S. Department of Justice—not some random private organization asking Michigan to publish voters’ personal information online. The federal government already maintains enormous amounts of sensitive identifying information through agencies responsible for Social Security, immigration, passports, taxation & citizenship records. So the obvious question remains: If Michigan’s voter rolls are as clean & accurate as Benson says, why fight federal efforts to independently verify them? Nobody is asking for voters’ Social Security numbers or driver’s-license information to be posted publicly. We’re asking why the agencies responsible for enforcing federal election laws shouldn’t be able to lawfully cross-check the information necessary to determine whether everyone on Michigan’s voter rolls is actually eligible to be there. “Trust us” is not enough. That’s not transparency. And with documented cases of noncitizens getting through Michigan’s system & casting ballots, asking for independent verification isn’t unreasonable. It’s exactly what voters should demand.
