fucking KEK

>"Pls no help other countries"

He is just staying true to his platform of social and political posturing while doing nothing to fix actual problems.

in a near future we'll see the swap of some stocks as in the BT Oil Spill.

Rejecting help is quite anti-social t b h.

Haven't really been following it, is this a serious happening or will it just burn itself out?

Not accepting help from the Ruskies is pretty retarded though

The fire is set to last for a few months at least.

>Ottawa yet to respond to Russian offer to send water bombers to fight Fort McMurray fire

The Trudeau government has yet to respond to an offer by Russia to dispatch massive water bombers and fire-fighting specialists to battle the growing inferno around Fort McMurray.

The proposal was made late last week by Vladimir Puchkov, the Russian minister of emergency measures.

A spokesman for Russia’s embassy in Ottawa, Kirill Kalinin, said Sunday that they continue to stand “ready to help our Canadian partners to fight the ongoing wildfires in Alberta.”

The offer involves sending converted Ilyushin Il-76 transport planes — the kind occasionally leased by the Canadian military — that can dump as much as “42 tons of fire retardant into fire spots,” according to a statement on the web site of Russia’s Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters.

In addition, Moscow said it has “rescuers and specialists with necessary equipment” ready to help on the ground, if need be.

...

It'll stop eventually but it has already burned like 500k acres of land to the ground.

This could be an opportunity to repair relations between the West and Russia but libcuck Trudeau will fuck it up because muh human rights and muh Crimea…

>King Weed loves to look good for the media.

Maybe now people will realize what a joke he is.

havent laughed this hard at a meme in quite some time

It will burn itself out eventually.

There's no point. The damage to Fort Mac is done, and they don't feel there's any threat to anything else now. It will just burn the forest till it's done.

But they didn't think there was any threat to Fort Mac to begin with, which is why they didn't stop the fire when it could have been stopped at the start of it.

...

Of course, presence of planes from homophobic Russia in Canadian airspace will deeply offend LGBT community and Ukrainian diaspora.

He is an idiot cuck.

But so is the rest of Canada, I saw canucks on news sites commenting that Russia has no experience whatsoever with fires of such unsurmountable scale and that the Ivan's would be off no help.


>McMurray so far: 200,000 hectares
>Russian wildfire last year: 1,000,000 hectares

Let's take a moment and be glad we're not Canadian.

>But they didn't think there was any threat to Fort Mac to begin with, which is why they didn't stop the fire when it could have been stopped at the start of it.
What? No.
The fire was discovered by forestry services and 4 helicopters and a few water bombers were assigned to it immediately, along with ground crews. The fire was 2 hectares (5 acres) when it was discovered and within TWO HOURS it had grown to 60 hectares (150 acres). There was never any possibility of stopping it, just limiting the damage it would do.

So is the only option to let it burn itself out?

Fucking please. That million was a series of small fires, over a hundred of them. And none lasted longer then a day.

This one is a single fire that has been burning for over a week.

It's not the same thing at all.

Well, the difference is they fight their fires and le weedman lets a 100k city burn down...

are you guys even cutting down trees and digging trenches?

i get the impression nothing is being done and canadians are just leaving a few cities and going to other cities they will have to leave later

That's not Fort McMurray in the OP but your point is still valid.

If you fight the fire, it wins.

>are you guys even cutting down trees and digging trenches?
Huh. We'd need WAYYY more immigration for that!

Well the fire itself is still burning but the flame fronts are mostly out innawoods now, meaning the city itself is relatively safe (govt officials and media got a short tour today).
Much cooler weather today and for the next few days should help that situation improve - but as for the greater fire it's entirely plausible that it simply continues to burn for weeks and months until a sufficient amount of rainfall kills it off.

They're still making firebreaks (there are ~40 some pieces of heavy equipment on scene) but you have to realize that firebreaks were never ever going to contain this thing. It jumped the Athabasca river, which is about half a mile wide, several times. Even infrastructure firebreaks like highway 63 were little more than speed bumps to the fire. The fire even generated it's own pyrocumulonimbus cloud which then created lightning which began to spark sub-fires several kilometers away.

Praise KEK

BLAZE DEM TREES UP EH 420 SMOKE IT ERRY DAY

What did he mean by this?

We're the land of ice and fire.

Le weedman 420 blaze it!

How many weed plants are known to have been burnt so far?

>Don't even think about coming to the US faggots
Yea have fun learning spanish.

Idk ask Trudeau

...

>talking shit about Mexico
>even they tried to help you fix your fuckup

Come on leaf

Not my fault the gubmint is run by a juvenile retard.

he should accept palestine and no one else

holy shit!
canada no!

Update from today: 2400 structures lost or damaged, which is a little more than 10% of the city.
One school under construction was lost. Otherwise no major infrastructure damaged. Power/water/gas to most of the city is currently down or shut off, crews are assessing and repairing some of that currently.
Timeline for residents returning is >2 weeks
Oil production in the region has declined approximately 40% (nearly 1M bbl/day)
Red Cross has raised $60m so far. $51m of that is from private citizens which will be tripled as donations are being matched by both federal and provincial governments.

They will accept Mexico help so they can do with Mexicans what Syrians have done to Europe.

Blaze a trail

>I'M A BIG BOY
>I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF

How can one man hate his own people so much?

Aussies got Christ but Canada is just full of unsaved heathens under the wrath of God. Aussies might be ashamed at Christs coming but they won't burn like a leaf.

Close. I live in Kentucky. Gods country is safe again.

JANEY MAC

LADS, MIND YERSELVES.

Why do so many people here, not from Canada, give a shit about some remote Canadian 'city'? Is there seriously nothing better to talk about?

STOP FEAR MONGERING

FEEL THE BURN

>Is there seriously nothing better to talk about?
People can't help it, it's a hot topic.

youtu.be/JNhZnfyaC3U

Spread this! They had water bomber contracts they neglected that could have prevented this. What incompetence.

Reminder that this happened because college kiddies meme magicked "Feel the Bern."

They knew not what they did.

Canadian rapefugees when?

Because literally no first world country anywhere lets a "minor" city of 100k burn to the fucking ground.

...

hah holy shit

They were going to choke us on poison smoke, this is no accident gov healthcare in us / Canada to cover their ass.

Left leaves and dead trees standing for two decades while simultaneously selling them abroad as carbon offsets that only increased co2 output, this fire may have been used to cover that up.

Hi guys. Im a god of rain.
Doubles decide if i go and make it rain and kill the fire.

>That million was a series of small fires, over a hundred of them

So you are saying the Russians successfully extinguished those fires, but therefore do not have experience fighting a large fire.

I see that the wildfire must have burnt a few illegal marijuana crops around McMurray.

Hungary should send pic related

Would be cool as fuck

That's a picture of Southern California...

The Mexicans would just send their alcoholic uncles over to piss on the flames.

Is there an actual reason he's rejecting help from Russia / Mexico? Are we going to owe them favours or something? Is it politically dumb to do that for some reason?

Goway ._.
Fire-Chan just wants to see all of Canada and hug lots of people before she has to leave.

Trudeau is a complete beta bitch if he refuses this

>4422

This is some third country levels of efficiency. You have a good source on this.

>if you kill the fire, it wins
I may be fucking tired and borderline asleep right now, but what?

>smoke all the way into fucking Florida

It would be more effective than whatever they are doing now.

Have a devastating fire and turn down all help.

Are canadians starting to realize he's truly insane yet?

...

At least they'll apologize later.

Alberta is the only non-cuck province in all of Canada. Also the most hardworking part of the population.

While I agree Canada on the whole is cucked to fuck a lot of Albertans are more American than most Americans I know.

does that start the fires or help put them out. I honestly cant tell.

They had a ton of water bombers but dropped contract. Been selling trees as carbon offset to world but turns out it didn't work any only increased output. Gov runs heathcare and wanted you to suck smoke fumes for months. Can anyone into math?

Google weed mans approval ratings if you want to see how retarded Canada is.

It was only a matter of time, leafs

It's actually designed for really strong fires in small areas like oil fires, so I don't think it'd do much in a giant forest fire.

It's two MiG engines on a tank chassis. Blows really fucking hard and spews fire retardants and dirt.

>fire is still going on

Holy hell, someone upstairs REALLY hates Canada

youtu.be/j7Ss3BMrscE

Neato.

Isn't this fire going to increase Canada's carbon footprint?
Canada needs to pay reparations for global warming.

First they take something normal and tell you it's magical, they they tell you they don't need to take care of normal thing anymore cause it's magic. Then studies prove magic doesn't work, it's a fraud. They burn the evidence but first they destroy the tools that could prevent it. Then they tell you they can't stop it. Refuse help.

...

B..but what if the pilot doesn't believe in transgender rights?

Nice.

You know, I've never actually known until now that Ottawa was Canada's capital

So anyone else got any theories? Or just going to compliment each other's memes till bump limit as usual?
