Subject: Canada deploying 60 firefighters to help with California blazes
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Sunday he was deploying
60 firefighters to California to help with the wildfires.
In a post on the social platform X, Trudeau said Canada was helping aid
the Los Angeles area as several wildfires continue devastating the area.
The death toll from the wildfires reached 16 as of Saturday night, and the
fires remained mostly uncontained. Additional evacuation orders are
underway.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) declared a state of emergency earlier
this week and has called for an independent probe of the Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power as questions are raised about the citys
water supply.
Trudeau has sent air tankers and firefighters to Los Angeles. Government
officials said there is more personnel and equipment from Ontario, Quebec
and Alberta ready to be mobilized, The New York Times reported.
In another post on X, Trudeau said Canada and the United States were more
than just neighbors.
Were friends especially when times get tough, he wrote. Californias
always had our back when we battle wildfires up north. Now, Canadas got
yours.
Mexico has also deployed a crew to help battle the growing fires.
Trudeaus generosity comes at a complicated time for the two countries.
Trudeau and President-elect Trump have disagreed over Trumps tariff plan,
which would hike prices for Canada. Amid Trudeaus resignation, Trump has
suggested merging the U.S. and Canada.
