Earlier, Trudeau offered assistance, recognising that Canada is no stranger to wildfires. “Canadians are thinking of everyone in California affected by these wildfires, including the lives tragically lost. We’re no stranger to the challenge of wildfires, and California’s been there to help our Canadian firefighters out time and time again,” he wrote.
"Canadian water bombers are already in action on the front lines. We stand ready to provide more resources to our American neighbours," he further emphasised.
Trump threatens to merge Canada with the U.S
Many on social media interpreted Trudeau's recent act of offering help and his tweets as a subtle message to incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been suggesting the idea of merging Canada with the U.S. to make it the 51st state. The tension grew following Trudeau's announcement of his resignation, which came amid losing voter support, although he remains in office until a new prime minister is elected.
