Justin Trudeau called it a “climate emergency.” In August 2021, while asking Canadians to re-elect him, he promised: • 1,000 new firefighters • $500 million for firefighters and equipment • Teams ready for the next fire season • Canadian-built water bombers By March 2025, the original pilot had trained...

Trudeau promised in 2021 that $450 million would deliver new water bombers to provinces before the next fire season. Under Mark Carney’s Liberals, five years later, zero have been built or delivered federally. Canadians facing record wildfires deserve real equipment, not endless delays, excuses, and broken promises.

In the 2021 elections Justin Trudeau has promised to invest $500M ahead of the next fire season train at least 1,000 firefighters, Indigenous fire crews, and invest $100Ms more to buy equipment like water bombers: "We will train at least 1,000 more firefighters in communities across the country who will be able to mobilize right away when a major burn starts...the other way we will keep communities safe is by investing hundreds of millions of dollars more for provinces to buy firefighting equipment from water bombers to helicopters....We will be there with what BC and British Columbians needs to get through the season." Turns out it was another Liberal lie. Liberal jumped on the opportunity of the hardship Canadians faces in 2021 just to lie and fail the country. Lies and negligence is the Justin Trudeau Liberals legacy.

Labor MPs Maree Edwards and Vicki Ward have been heckled while unveiling a $365 million state budget boost for firefighters. Marong CFA volunteer of 35 years, Michael Shay, challenged the timing, asking why the funding wasn’t delivered years earlier. The package will deliver new trucks, stations and equipment for Country Fire Authority and Forest Fire Management Victoria. The announcement comes amid backlash over the emergency services levy and declining volunteer numbers.

Here are some interesting facts about the fire in Maui that should make you ask questions. The governor, emergency management admin, fire chief, lieutenant governor, and attorney general were not on the island when the fire broke out. So the 2 most critical emergency officials were AWOL. The emergency alert system also wasn't activated and there are 400 sirens all over the state. The only system they activated was the cellphone alerts, but those comms were down too for some people, with many residents reporting they had zero warnings, some reporting that officials and police told them to stay and they'd be safe just a few hours before engulfing the area. Lastly, they didn't have enough firefighters and equipment. Apparently there were only 60+ firefighters across the 3 islands, and the administrators said they didn't address the fires until they were already at the populated areas and unstoppable. The alarm bells of a conspiracy should be ringing in everyone's head right now.

THIS has to be SO SCARY for those witnessing this in person or losing all they have! With the money Canada sent to Ukraine, we could have bought roughly 50 fully crewed CL-415 water bombers… and still had enough left over for another 250. Instead, we watched Jasper burn. Trudeau campaigned on hiring more firefighters and promised we would never see another disaster like Jasper again. He had over 7 years in power to actually deliver on that. What we got instead was more virtue signalling, more billions sent overseas, and the same pathetic air tanker capacity we’ve had for years. Jasper didn’t have to be that bad. The tools existed. The money existed. The political will did not. Liberals would rather play world saviour than actually protect Canadian communities. They’ll send billions to foreign wars and foreign aid while our own forests and towns go up in flames. This is what happens when your government cares more about looking good on the world stage than keeping Canadians safe at home. #cdnpoli #JasperFire #Wildfires #LiberalFail #CanadaFirst

“We launched the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. We also had to build a harbour, roads, and a water system with a capacity of 440 million litres. Our water facility alone covers more than 30 hectares.” — Aliko Dangote

NEW: U.S. Coast Guard rescues a snowmobiler who was stranded on the ice in white-out conditions a mile from land in Lake Huron. The Mackinac Island Fire Department says if the Cutter Mackinaw crew had not already been in the area, the man would not have made it. "It was extremely slow going as drifting snow was waist-deep and the ice jagged and difficult to climb over," the fire chief said in a statement. "Extreme coordination between shore-based firefighters, Central Dispatch, and County Emergency Manager Bryce Tracy was able to track firefighters as they disappeared into the whiteout." The victim tried reaching the fire crews but eventually ran into open water. The USCG Cutter Mackinaw crew eventually spotted the man and brought him on board. He was rushed to the hospital and is now in stable condition.

The City of Bulawayo Fire and Ambulance Services Unit has started training firefighters of Rural District Councils (RDCs) in the southern parts of the country. Five RDCs (Tsholotsho, Kusile, Matobo, Insiza and Hwange) have seconded recruits for training. A total of 30 recruited firefighters commenced their training on Monday with each local authority having six members. From the 30 trainee firefighters, six of them are females. The City of Bulawayo provides technical expertise to the rural local authorities. In the past, the City of Bulawayo, had to travel more than 100KM to attend to some of the emergency services in the nearby local authorities. The equipping of the rural local authorities is expected to improve the country's disaster management with the Government of Zimbabwe also having procured fire tenders for the rural local authorities.

The lack of water available to firefighters in Los Angeles was unavoidable, say experts and the media. Hydrants ran dry because the fires were just too big and the water system too old. Even if the large Santa Ynez reservoir had been filled with water, it likely would not have made a difference, they say. But there are good reasons to believe that it would have made a very significant difference. The Santa Ynez Reservoir is just a few thousand feet away from where the massive Pacific Palisades fire started and is the second largest of L.A.’s “ten major active reservoirs.” It’s too early to say precisely how much of a difference it would have made, and there’s no question that LA’s fire system is antiquated. It was never created to battle so many different fires at once. What’s more, the use of so many hydrants and the destruction of so many service lines to private residences resulted in a major loss of water and, thus, of water pressure. But the Santa Ynez reservoir was uphill from the Pacific Palisades fire and the firefighters doing battle with it would likely have had first access to its 117 million gallons of water before other firefighters below them. And that would likely have kept water pressure high. While the media downplayed the significance of the Santa Ynez, a senior water utility executive has come forward to tell Public that “117 million gallons is a huge amount of treated water storage to have available for firefighting. Massive. Maybe one of the biggest treated water storage reservoirs on the whole West Coast.” The person I spoke with has worked as a senior professional in a California water utility for two decades. The person told Public that the LADWP should never have drained the Santa Ynez reservoir of water. Instead, it should have kept it full for emergency use, and only drained it to repair a torn cover after the fire risk was far lower and after LADWP had a contractor under contract and ready to perform necessary repairs....

SOS: FIRE OUTBREAK AT OLD GARAGE, ÒṢOGBO There is currently a major fire outbreak at Old Garage, and emergency responders are battling to contain the situation. Reports indicate that firefighters on the ground are overwhelmed as the fire continues to spread. Of serious concern is the fact that two filling stations are located dangerously close to the scene. If the fire reaches either of these stations, the consequences could be catastrophic for nearby residents, businesses, and road users. We urgently call on relevant emergency agencies, additional fire service units, security personnel, and volunteers with firefighting equipment to mobilize and provide immediate support. Residents are also advised to stay away from the area to allow emergency teams unrestricted access and to avoid putting themselves at risk. Please share this information widely and contact emergency responders if you have useful information or resources that can assist in containing the fire. #InsideOsogbo

The Liberals just sacrificed a million Canadian jobs to save themselves A million Canadians on the chopping block, and the Liberals’ priority is themselves. We are again, watching the Liberals light the country on fire to warm themselves. Canada is staring down the barrel of a tariff war with the United States thanks to the Liberals' mismanagement and antagonism. And the cost? A million Canadian jobs. That's a million families wondering how they'll put food on the table, a million mortgages, car payments, and businesses that could go under. And what's the Liberals' grand plan? They don't seem to have one. Let me tell you what else the Liberals aren't doing: working. They prorogued Parliament. Right when Canadians need their government the most, the Liberals are pulling the plug on democracy so they can focus on backroom deals and palace intrigue, scheming to replace their failed, outgoing disaster of a leader, Justin Trudeau. And it's up to us to bear the pain of it all. Good thing we are gluttons for punishment. And the presumed replacement for Trudeau, Mark Carney, well he knew long ago they would be antagonizing Trump, campaigning against him instead of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. That's why months ago, he moved the office of his company Brookfield from Canada to the USA and tried to lie about it. A million Canadians on the chopping block, and the Liberals’ priority is themselves. They didn’t even try to fight for jobs before slamming the brakes on government. Instead, their biggest concern is who will sit in the fancy chair at Rideau Cottage. Canadians be damned. And let’s talk about the Liberal response to this mess. The Liberals just doubled down on anti-American rhetoric. The United States accounts for 76% of our exports, and instead of negotiating like adults, the Liberals are escalating, throwing gasoline on the fire. Trudeau just called Trump "dumb." As if poking the bear that controls our economy is some brilliant diplomatic strategy. Do these people have any idea what they’re doing? This isn’t playground trash talk—this is the livelihoods of millions of Canadians. This entire situation is a crisis of the Liberals’ own making. Donald Trump told them exactly why tariffs were coming. He was very clear. Canada’s border is wide open. Illegal immigration is out of control. Trudeau and his minions let criminals and cartel traffickers waltz into the country. And what was their response? Sanctuary policies, more handouts, and shrieking about “compassion.” Now, reality is slapping them in the face. Trump warned Canada and Mexico: fix your border, or pay the price. Canada didn’t fix a damn thing, and now we’re staring down an economic disaster. And when faced with a million Canadians potentially losing their jobs, the Liberals did what they always do—they bailed on responsibility and looked out for themselves. They prorogued Parliament so they could figure out their own power struggles instead of saving Canadian jobs and now Trudeau says maybe he won't leave as fast as we would like. It’s never been more clear: they don’t work for you. They don’t care about you. They will throw you under the bus to keep their grip on power. Canada needs leadership, but instead, we have a corrupt, self-serving government willing to sacrifice its own people to save its own skin. I hope Canadians are paying attention. Because the Liberals sure aren’t paying attention to us. With Sheila Gunn Reid

The ninth convoy of vehicles for our firefighters has left for Ukraine from Britain. This is much more than just the transfer of 21 fire trucks. It is about protecting Ukrainian cities and saving the lives of civilians and rescuers who are being attacked by the Russians. I would like to thank the United Kingdom – the government, the fire and rescue services across England and Wales, and all the partners of this initiative. I also want to mention the British charity FIRE AID and International Development, which has been helping the State Emergency Service of Ukraine since 2014. This is now the largest international rescue service support project ever implemented by UK. As part of it, Ukraine received 169 fire and rescue vehicles and over 250,000 units of equipment.

Even after what just happened with the Pacific Palisades fire, Democrats are still ignoring the Fire Department Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters say they have been ignored by mayor Karen Bass “It is 2026. We have the same amount of firefighters as we did in 1960 with the call volume 5 times greater We used to run 100,000 calls in 1960. We run over half a million calls a year now. The population has doubled between from 2 million to 4 million We cannot sustain giving the citizens what they need when they call 911 and responding in a timely manner. We should be responding within 4.5 minutes. We are almost at 8 minutes when they call 911” Think about this, Democrats just let Los Angeles burn to the ground and the STILL won’t fund the fire department appropriately I looked into this and found the Fire Department is really fighting for funding and Democrats are outright ignoring them United Firefighters of Los Angeles City have been vocal: - They delivered 200,000+ signatures for a ballot initiative to boost funding. - Firefighters have protested at Mayor Bass’s residence and City Hall, warning that the city cannot sustain current 911 response levels. They literally protesters and still all Democrats will do is launder money to homeless NGOs and inform fire fighters Democrats need to go to prison

[RG911Team] It didn’t have to end this way. Below are the last words of FDNY Battalion Chief Orio Palmer. He reached the 78th floor of the South Tower on 9/11, saw the fires, and was ready to fight them. But 5 minutes later, the building collapsed on him. We ask: 1) If the building was so weakened from intense fire it was about to collapse, why was Palmer so confident he could manage the blaze? 2) Why didn’t firefighters know the building was at risk of sudden collapse? 3) Why did dozens of firefighters report secondary explosions in the World Trade Center that were not caused by the airplane impacts? 4) Why did the largest loss of firefighters in world history (343) result in an investigation that the authors said was “set up to fail” and a “cover up”? 5) Why hasn’t the government provided any real answers? We know why… and we are bringing the explosive evidence to court with the support of FDNY firefighters. Learn more in the comment below⬇️

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass claimed her $17.5 million cut to the LA Fire Department budget did not impact the department’s ability to prevent or fight fires. But the LA Fire Chief told CNN that “the $17 million budget cut… did absolutely negatively impact” the Department’s ability to respond to the fires. And a video released yesterday by NewsNation, which was shot by a former employee of Kamala Harris, shows that it took the LA Fire Department 45 minutes to respond to the Pacific Palisades fire. “It could have been confined,” said attorney Michael Valentine. “It wouldn’t have touched any of the homes.” It is impossible to stop fires from starting in Los Angeles. The challenge is to put them out before they become catastrophic. And the video provides evidence that firefighters could have responded earlier. “ By 10:50, the plume had spread considerably, twice as large,” reported Rich McHugh. “Eight minutes later, the size of the fire seems to have doubled yet again. Still nobody fighting the fire. At 11:13 a.m., nearly 45 minutes after Michael's wife called in the fire, you see a chopper come through at 11:23. A helicopter comes in, begins to dump water on it. But at this point, the fire is massive and moving quickly down this ridgeline.” And now, a second firefighter has come forward to say that “There wasn’t sufficient funding for predeployment and I’m sure that played a role. The fire prevention department has taken huge cuts too and it limited their resources.” Specifically, this person said, “There were not enough mechanics, engines, or fire stations.” LA has been cutting the budget of the LA Fire Department for years, leading to rising response times.”You’re supposed to be in route in 30 seconds and there in three to five minutes, but now it’s 10 minutes and on the extreme end 30 minutes,” said the firefighter. “The other day they had a cardiac arrest call that took 30 minutes and there was a pediatric call two weeks ago and the station that was available was very far away and it took them a long time to get to the kid.” The whistleblower said staffing and equipment shortages create two tragedies. The first are unnecessary deaths and the second is the impact on the firefighters. “They just can’t make it to places fast enough and it’s a hazard to the public,” said the whistleblower. “A family member is dying and it’s 30 minutes to show up and then they’re yelling at the firefighters who are trying to do their job but there’s not enough of them. Some of that stuff really affects them.” The LA Fire Department budget is $820 million and significantly more is needed. The number of calls LA firefighters make in a year has tripled over the last 30 years while staffing has declined by one-third, according to another whistleblower. The LA Firefighters are currently owed significant backpay and have filed a lawsuit against the city. Said the whistleblower, “Nobody understands why this is going on. Why is there no money? Why can’t we pay people? We’re 80 fire stations short. Why aren’t we building them? Why aren’t we paying firefighters their contracted wages?” All of this is particularly mysterious because California is by far the richest state in the United States and has the highest taxes. The center of Big Tech, the most profitable industry in the world, and with an annual GDP of $3.8 trillion, California is the fifth-largest economy in the world. California has the highest income tax at 13.3 percent, the highest sales tax at 7.25 percent, and one of the highest corporatetaxes at 8.84%. Where is all the money going? While California’s firefighting budget rose since 2018, it was, obviously, not enough. And California’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst Office reported that Governor Gavin Newsom slashed funding by $101 Million in the 2024 budget and cut millions for prescribed burns, forest fire monitoring, and $12 million for home hardening. And the state funding that Newsom cut could have been used to harden homes to fire and reduce vegetation around homes in LA. Bass proposed cutting the Fire Department’s funding by an additional $48.8 million next year. The priorities of the leaders of California and Los Angeles over the last decade have been homelessness, climate change, and providing services to undocumented migrants, Since 2019, California has invested $27 billion in homelessness, or about 4.5 billion per year. That amount does not include spending on firefighting, police, or emergency medical services for the homeless. Nor does it include the $40 billion the state spent on affordable housing. California spends over $30 billion per year to provide benefits and services to migrants who came to the US illegally, according to a recent cost analysis by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The California Budget and Policy Center estimates that they contribute up to $9 billion annually in state and local taxes. And California will spend over $48 billion on climate programs over the next seven years, or about seven billion annually. As such, California spends about $41.5 billion per year on the homeless, illegal immigrants, and climate change. If just 2% of that money, or $1 billion, had been spent on LA’s Fire Department, it could have more than doubled its budget. What’s more, there is evidence that all of that spending on homelessness made the problem worse. Since 2019, homelessness increased by 40%. And the homeless cause over half of all fires in Los Angeles. The spending has distorted other priorities...

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass claimed her $17.5 million cut to the LA Fire Department budget did not impact the department’s ability to prevent or fight fires. But the LA Fire Chief told CNN that “the $17 million budget cut… did absolutely negatively impact” the Department’s ability to respond to the fires. And a video released yesterday by NewsNation, which was shot by a former employee of Kamala Harris, shows that it took the LA Fire Department 45 minutes to respond to the Pacific Palisades fire. “It could have been confined,” said attorney Michael Valentine. “It wouldn’t have touched any of the homes.” It is impossible to stop fires from starting in Los Angeles. The challenge is to put them out before they become catastrophic. And the video provides evidence that firefighters could have responded earlier. “ By 10:50, the plume had spread considerably, twice as large,” reported Rich McHugh. “Eight minutes later, the size of the fire seems to have doubled yet again. Still nobody fighting the fire. At 11:13 a.m., nearly 45 minutes after Michael's wife called in the fire, you see a chopper come through at 11:23. A helicopter comes in, begins to dump water on it. But at this point, the fire is massive and moving quickly down this ridgeline.” And now, a second firefighter has come forward to say that “There wasn’t sufficient funding for predeployment and I’m sure that played a role. The fire prevention department has taken huge cuts too and it limited their resources.” Specifically, this person said, “There were not enough mechanics, engines, or fire stations.” LA has been cutting the budget of the LA Fire Department for years, leading to rising response times.”You’re supposed to be in route in 30 seconds and there in three to five minutes, but now it’s 10 minutes and on the extreme end 30 minutes,” said the firefighter. “The other day they had a cardiac arrest call that took 30 minutes and there was a pediatric call two weeks ago and the station that was available was very far away and it took them a long time to get to the kid.” The whistleblower said staffing and equipment shortages create two tragedies. The first are unnecessary deaths and the second is the impact on the firefighters. “They just can’t make it to places fast enough and it’s a hazard to the public,” said the whistleblower. “A family member is dying and it’s 30 minutes to show up and then they’re yelling at the firefighters who are trying to do their job but there’s not enough of them.

Everything Democrat leaders told you about the Pacific Palisades Fire is a lie. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass promised to cut red tape and rebuild fast. One year later, look at this… Nothing has been built. 7,000 homes are still in rubble. See for yourself… blamed it on ‘climate change’ but now we know it was an arson attack committed by an eco terrorist worsened by eco terrorists in the Governor’s office who prevented fire mitigation and firefighters’ from doing their jobs. These families were lied to and betrayed. Now they have nothing. California Democrats would rather rule over ashes than a functional civilization. Don’t let them do this to the rest of the country…

The LAFD whistleblower who exposed California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered them to remove Elon Musk from the Command Post and return the donated Starlink devices has conducted more firefighter interviews - Firefighters say Gavin Newsom is lying the Pacific Palisades fires water situation, they did run out of water. “A firefighter told me that he was on a street in the Pacific Palisades and not only did he run out of water, but they had insufficient hydrants” - The city allegedly did not consult with the fire department before they drained the reservoir - Not only were the hydrants spaced over 1,000 feet apart but the diameter of the hose holes was extremely small, not big enough to draw water needed - In addition to that water reservoir being empty in the Pacific Palisades holding 117 million gallons of water, they tarped it for environmental reasons - Because reservoirs are tarped for “environmental reasons” that means helicopters can’t access the water and suck out water for fire suppression for aerial help - Says firefighters are “calling bullsh*t on climate change” - Says the fires ARE ARSON - “They had a palisades fire in the exact same area three years ago caused by homeless, but no one wants to say it and everyone's afraid” - Says DEI has hindered response giving example of women not being able to lift the required weight when saving someone - “insane environmental regulations that Karen Bass has prioritized” has caused problems - “There was also beyond frustration about this multi-billion dollar water bond that was passed in 2014 by California voters to build reservoirs. It was meant to store and capture water.” Nothing was built. Where did the money go? “The state needs to clear brush, allow controlled burns, increase water storage, and hire based on performance alone. But Gavin's refusal to implement these solutions just further highlights his incompetence and inability to effectively do this job.”
