Americans are really just the dummest motherfuckers on the planet.
I’d love for our governments to call back all our Canadian firefighters helping with the fires down there right now.
Most ungrateful humans on the planet. I hope they fucking choke harder on the smoke. Rancid losers. Americans suck.

From the EU, I hope.

We make water bombers. Helis from EU make sense.

They have their own aircraft industry.

I wonder how many planes the US are buying. If you look at the US fire map, there’s a heck of a lot of them.

It's not going to be enough. The only solution is electrification and carbon capture on a world wide scale. Too bad we don't have that kind of leadership, yet.

How dare Ontario buy aircraft with their own money and not send things west? Grr, makes me so mad let's separate! /s
This is Ontario buying things, not the federal government.

You know that these were purchased by Toronto, not Ottawa, right?
And the ones recently purchased by Ottawa are currently being operated out of Abbotsford, BC?
