Canada retaliates to Trump’s threats by bombing Los Angeles
Chemical warfare. These bombers are carrying a chemical called “Dihydrogen Monoxide” or DHMO. What effect does adding a chemical containing Hydrogen and Oxygen to fires have?
Why isn’t Trump talking about this Canadian chemical attack?
You could argue they’re salting the land as they’re dumping sea water. I wouldn’t be surprised if some morons used this as an argument.
Don’t forget the sodium and the chlorine too

Thanks neighbors. Sorry about the soon to be president.
I’d like to see this removed as it’s clearly hate speech!
Really sorry 😔
I’m afraid he might count our help for LA against us. 🥲
I know. I’m sorry. 🫡
Meanwhile a Republican senator says “there will be strings attached” to Federal aid to California.
Never skip an opportunity to be the biggest shitbag on the news.
For those who want to know without clicking the link:
John Barrasso, Republican from Wyoming
A man with the same electoral power as his California equivalent, despite representing 1/67th as many people. Truly, democracy made manifest.
I bet the canadian pilots ending every single radio communication with “thank you, over” must be tiresome for the American control tower operators…
“Thank you, over, eh”
“LAX Approach, Canadair Charlie Gamma Bravo Eight Niner, Requesting long approach, sorry, thank you, over, eh”
Sorry, I think it would be more idiomatic to say:
LAX Approach, Canadair Charlie Golf Bravo Eight Niner, sorry: requesting long approach. thanks eh, Over.
But that’s just my two cents as a Canadian eh.
Love it!
You even quietly corrected my error in using “gamma” for the letter G rather than “golf” :)
Over, sorry, eh?
Fuck I love flying boats. They are so cool.
They also have landing gear that slides down from under the wing.
ITS A CAR TOO?
I do, too, and sadly I’ve yet to fly on one! I wonder how much TaleSpin has to do with this.
I know that there is no fresh water available and that getting the fire under control takes priority, but isn’t dropping seawater on everything ensuring nothing will grow again for a long time?
There are not enough helicopters and airplanes in the world to drop enough salt water to prevent plants from growing in those mountains.
You would need a lot more salt than that to significantly damage the ecosystem. For example, many roads are salted all winter, it does impact local ecosystems, especially waterways, but it doesn’t comepletely kill them in most places. Plus a lot of the ash from the fires can be quite nutritious for plants which can help with recovery.
Ontario (Canada) alone puts 3-5 million tonnes of salt on the roads each year.
So much salt all my shoes,boots,and pant legs have salt stains. But never enough to kill the weeds growing through the sidewalks.
A lot of what is burning is mostly just weed/brush over hard soil that doesn’t get much water anyways, I don’t think it would permeate deep enough in the soil to really “salt it”.
I live in an area which has seen quite a few wildfires, and everytime they are put out with these planes using sea water. Never stopped anything from growing back, and it does grow back very fast !
Probably the salt is not consentrated enough. I’m guessing though.
A clear sign we want to be annexed /s
Can you annex me?
I hope we’re at least refueling them, and maybe buying them beers
As a thank you they sent us a drone to fuck one up
CA Friends Unite!
Those of us who are glad we’re gonna have homes left to go home to are so grateful for every scoop!
Bring back Canadair Sabre plz
