‘Thank you, Canada’: The people Trump’s been taunting for days are actually ‘on the frontline’ of the Los Angeles fires, and what is he doing?!

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.

Trump has revived his desire to fold Canada into the U.S. mainland. He claims that Canadians would one day benefit from becoming the 51st state. The same Canadians that Trump has threatened are getting into helicopters to prevent Southern California from going up in smoke. From the moment these fires flared up, Canadians were among the first in the air. Quebec’s CL-415 water bombers and Port Alberni-based Coulson Aviation helicopters dropped water and fire retardant.

We’ll always be there for our neighbours,just like on 9-11 and so on. It’s unfortunate their incoming sees us as easy targets and suckers,to be threatened and bullied.Canada was not brought up that way

Did Trump praise the effort? Of course not. Instead of helping as any president-elect would do, Trump decided that now is the time to point fingers. Why provide when you can make a bad situation worse? So, what did Trump do instead? He went on a rant, accusing California Governor Gavin Newsom of “he just wants to score points with his base.

Thank you @JustinTrudeau

You won’t hear @elonmusk nor @realDonaldTrump saying thank you because MAGA are pig ignorant!

So on behalf of America sans MAGA thank you and merci infiniment ♥️💪♥️

It's incredible how comion transcends borders. Amidst the chaos, Canada stands as a reminder of unity and selflessness, proving that humanity can rise above divisive politics.

It’s true that California was not as prepared for these wildfires as it should have been given the state’s history with the natural disaster, but it’s not the time to point fingers. The fires are still raging, and we need action. Trump didn’t call for any police change, nor did he advise the government on how to react. Crises can be a unifying moment — a time when leaders pull together, rally resources, and praise the heroes on the ground. For Canadians, helping out is practically a routine. For Trump, it’s an opportunity to score political points.
