So Canada has only 4 submarines from I found. Not one is nuclear powered. So you figure they should give up the subs and spend that on firefighters? I guess they could give up the entire Navy as well and just hope the USA can protect their coastlines?
I sure hope you don't mean I should pay a more taxes to pay for firefighters in Canada. What about Mexico, should our tax dollars help the fire departments in Mexico as well?
Those fires are a real tragedy. I feel real sorry for the residents there. I hope they get it under control real soon.
