Why the Royal Canadian Air Force has not the Bombardier / Canadair CL-215, 415 or 515 as firefighting aircraft / water bombers in Canada? Are wildfires not important in Canada?

 

Why has the Royal Canadian Air Force none of the home-made firefighting aircraft Viking Air "Canadair" CL-215, CL415 or CL-515?  


Is the Canadian Federal Government "not taking wildfires in Canada seriously"? 



Strange to believe that the country of the bestseller Canadair CL-215/415/515 is not considering its own "made in Canada" fire bomber. 

It seems that the Canadian Gouvernement is not taking the home-made firefighting aircraft seriously. 


All the talks about climate change and they might not be an important issue for the Canadian Federal Government? People are told the temperatures  will rise, and it will be much warmer than before. 

So, where is the Canadian government's action plan?


Meanwhile, wildfires are taken seriously in most countries in the world, specially in Europe. 

  Ask your political representative for more information:  Why are wildfires not considered important?  





Wish you all a great summer time without wildfires!
