The Trudeau government has yet to respond to an offer by Russia to dispatch massive water bombers and fire fighting specialists to battle the growing inferno around Fort McMurray, Alta.
The proposal was made late last week by Vladimir Puchkov, the Russian minister of emergency measures.
A spokesman for Russia's embassy in Ottawa, Kirill Kalinin, said Sunday that they continue to stand "ready to help our Canadian partners to fight the ongoing wildfires in Alberta."

They certainly can't offer infrastructure help or money....
Why should Canada become beholden to a socialist despot??
No need for their "help"....as they have nothing to offer worth taking...

With Russia, a hand is offered in friendship while the other is balled in a fist...
This is their ethos and Canada would be wise to watch the fist and ignore the outstretched hand...
The Russians did not have a magical transformation into beneficent beings simply because perestroika failed so miserably....

The way Russia has been acting lately, they might be dropping something other than water and fire suppressant.
Just an observation by a news junky.
