"When Canada was fighting wildfires in Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia in 2023, blazes that would go on to eventually burn more than 45 million acres, more than 2,000 American firefighters helped extinguish the flames.
Now, Canada has returned the favor. It is sending air tankers and dozens of its own battle-tested wildland firefighters to Los Angeles, its government said. Air tankers can deliver thousands of gallons of fire retardant or water to wildland firefighters on the ground.
More personnel and equipment from Ontario, Quebec and Alberta are ready to be mobilized, according to government officials. And a team of senior technical staff members from British Columbia will fill specialized roles, the government said.
“We both know that Canada and the United States are more than just neighbours,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on X on Friday. “We’re friends — especially when times get tough. California’s always had our back when we battle wildfires up north. Now, Canada’s got yours.”
Mexico quickly followed, dispatching a crew of firefighters early Saturday to help the huge deployment already underway.
“We are a country of generosity and solidarity,” President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X. Ms. Sheinbaum said that the group was carrying “the courage and heart of Mexico.”
Before departing Mexico City for California, the Mexican firefighters held the flags of California, Mexico and the United States on the runway.
Mexico’s civil protection agency said that “cooperation has no borders” and that the mission reaffirmed “its solidarity with the people of California.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California said that he was grateful for the support from both countries."

On President Trump Revoking Citizenship
If you're like me, you've been seeing a lot of things on Trump revoking United States citizenship, but you haven't seen anybody explain what that means or what executive order it was in.
Here's the TLDR:
The executive order is titled "Protecting The Meaning and Value of American Citizenship" and was signed January 20, 2025
The order states that if your mother and father were not United States citizens or lawful residents when they gave birth to you, then you are not a United States citizen
If your mother and father were not permanent citizens of the United States when they gave birth to you, then you are not a United States citizen
This will go into effect 30 days after being signed which will be on February 19th
What this means for you
This law does not take away citizenship of anybody who already has it. If your parents were illegal immigrants but they gave birth to you on American soil, you are still an American citizen. If your parents are illegal immigrants and give birth to you on American soil after February 19, then you will not be considered an American Citizen.
What is being done about it
A number of states are currently suing President Trump because of this executive order. As of me typing this on January 22nd, the states suing President Trump are:
New Jersey
Massachusetts
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Maine
Maryland
Michigan
Minnesota
Nevada
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Rhode Island
Vermont
Wisconsin
City of San Francisco
The District of Columbia (Washington D.C.)

Washington: Who's going to break the news to Utah about the bible study joke.
California: I actually think we should let him have this for a little longer
Nevada: Absolutely not. I'm not ending up back in Mormonism because you guys couldn't get your shit together.
Arizona: Ditto, leaving the first time was hard enough.
Oregon: Then who's going to tell him??
New Mex: Idaho, you're still Mormon right.
Idaho: I am,
New Mex: Thank you for volunteering to break the news to Utah, :)
Idaho: no.
Washington: why not??
Idaho: Wyoming is LDS too! make him do it.
Wyoming: I'm actually having a crisis of faith.
Idaho: you're not u liar. u just don't want to do it either.
Montana: He is actually. I saw it.
Idaho: ????? you can't see a crisis of faith.
Wyoming: yea you can, u just never have because you're not special like that.
Idaho: I'm leaving.
Colorado, having not paid a lick of attention to the rest of the convo: I'm Mormon :)
The rest of the West: ...
Washington: ... this could work. Colorado go tell Utah there's no Bible study.
Colorado: what bible study
Washington: Exactly.
@yippeeometer,, I was thinking about that conversation we had forever ago again about Utah accidentally thinking the west had started a bible study 👉👈
(link to post for those who don't know what i'm referencing lol)

still no leaks about max’s plotline in vecna’s mind except for like one scene with her and El in Henry’s memories/visions in the 50’s. I’m still fully convinced about her finding closure with billy’s soul while still there, don’t get me wrong, and I know that that would be a major plot point and that’s why it would be so hard to get leaked, but sometimes it’s just so haaard to remain confident without any real hints or content to speculate on 😭😭
