#Thankyou good neighbor Canada
A Canadair CL 415 water bomber developed by Canada specifically to fight forest fires. Newfoundland has a fleet of these that we routinely sent to America every year to help them fight their wild fires. That is who we are. Good neighbours and Newfoundlanders are damn proud of it.

(53,245 posts)and a former friend (MAGAt) posted a stupid meme about Greenland and Canada. I thought he was just making fun, but no, he was serious. I didn't respond to his post because I doubt anything will change his mind at this point. He has become a full on cult Trump cult member now. So I blocked him. It's sad and frightening.

The concept of public service does not register with Trump.
And yes he thinks they are suckers and losers for helping Americans.

Great plane but when I see it, shit is hitting the rotary oscillator.
I demand trump spend a day fighting these fires in ravines and hills.

(5,911 posts)They gave us a good demo of their CL-215, the predecessor of this plane. Several nations fly these workhorses.
There are 2 US companies flying both he older and the uprated models, one based in Montana and the other in Kingman, AZ.
