As wildfires burn across Canada, the struggle to contain the damage has intensified for fire crews. The severe cuts to emergency fire services in recent years, driven by right-wing policies, have led to a failure to prepare for this crisis.

who could have foreseen it being a bad idea to cut this type of funding? it’s not like Canada is rapidly warming and has an astonishing amount of forests that can burn out of control…
