Los Angeles is counting on a significant Canadian presence in its firefighting forces this week as multiple blazes ravage the city, forcing tens of thousands out of their homes. The government of Quebec, in particular, confirmed on Wednesday that its aircraft are currently operating to try to put out the fires in Los Angeles.
“California is currently living through difficult times due to the wildfires,” Quebec Public Security Minister Francois Bonnardel said in a statement on social media on Wednesday, vowing that California could “count on the government of Quebec” and its fire agency for support.” “This area has got water tanks … these are not made for 15-hour firefights that use — everybody’s using the water. They’re just not designed for that. They’re designed for residential use, not wildland firefighting,” Kelliher explained.

Trump Shares Altered Maps Claiming Canada as the 51st StatePresident-elect Donald Trump has intensified his rhetoric towards Canada, sharing manipulated maps on social media depicting the country as part of the United States.
