    Ontario’s premier, Doug Ford, blames campfires for the fire. But, as the opposition has noted, his government cut the province’s emergency firefighting budget by 67 percent — or $142.2 million in 2019 — and never restored the funding.

    Ohhhh ok that makes lots of sense. Good work as always Dougie.

      who could have foreseen it being a bad idea to cut this type of funding? it’s not like Canada is rapidly warming and has an astonishing amount of forests that can burn out of control…

        Dougie has never done the kind thing for the province or country and has been actively working against Toronto since he was elected. He only does what is kind to his wallet.
