@usembassyottawa This reads like a campaign slogan more than a historical account. The bridge is the result of decades of bipartisan & binational planning, funding, & construction. Giving credit to a politician ignores the overwhelming majority of the project’s history. This can't be a real post.

@RepBryanSteil @EPA @RepVanOrden @RepFitzgerald @RepGrothman @RepTiffany @RepTonyWied If you want to lead a delegation, how about leading one to help fight the fires?

Canada has welcomed U.S. crews before, just as Canadian firefighters have helped battle fires in the U.S. Bring boots, equipment, and support…not just blame.

I’ve got the rakes if you need one!

[Mike @201_Mikey]

@RepTonyWied A sitting member of Congress should know the U.S.-Canada Air Quality Agreement was created to address industrial air pollution like acid rain…not wildfire smoke.

Criticize policy, but don’t strip away the context & present a political talking point as fact. We expect better.

[Mike @201_Mikey]

@FoxNews It’s also worth noting that the relationship cuts both ways. Smoke from U.S. wildfires has drifted into CAN and caused poor air quality, and CAN firefighters have regularly been deployed to fight fires in the U.S…just as U.S. crews have assisted during severe CAN fire seasons.

[Mike @201_Mikey]

@RepLisaMcClain This is like blaming Michigan for sending snow into Ontario. Wildfire smoke follows wind patterns, not political boundaries. Canada isn’t ‘doing nothing’ it’s fighting thousands of fires across millions of acres. Nature doesn’t care where the border is.

[Mike @201_Mikey]

@RepLangworthy This turns a complex environmental issue into a political talking point. Canada’s boreal forest spans hundreds of millions of hectares…much of it remote wilderness. You can’t simply “manage” away wildfire. Real solutions are preparedness, cooperation, and protecting communities.

[Mike @201_Mikey]

@RepHuizenga Forget raking the forests…just tariff the lightning. Problem solved

Great meeting w/ @BrianSaunderson during the #OPFFA2025 Leg Con, joined by members of @3804IPFFA to discuss lobby issues impacting our members, FF safety & #publicsafety. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate and advance solutions. @opffa @IAFFCanada @iafflocal465

[OPFFA @opffa]

OPFFA’s 2025 Legislative Conference and Lobby Day is a wrap! Thank you to all delegates for your strong advocacy, and thank you to the Ministers, MPPs, and staff who took meetings with us and attended our reception at Queen’s Park. Together, we continue to push for stronger protections, improved resources, and better health and safety outcomes for all Ontario firefighters.

Over 13 years Mike Barnard ushered us from 13 to 43 members, guided us through a pandemic and an attempted merger of 2 municipal fire services. Thank you Mike from us all at Local 3804 for your dedication. We look forward to holding you to your Past President duties!

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

Dozens of passengers walked away from Flight 4819 without injury thanks to the professionalism and preparation of the @ALPAPilots and @afa_cwa crew. It’s a testament to their training, and it made a difference today in Toronto. (1/2)

[Hamilton Paramedics @HPS_Paramedics]

Today, our community faced an unimaginable tragedy. Over 20 Hamilton Paramedic units responded to a devastating structure fire that claimed young lives and left many others injured. This heartbreaking event has deeply affected everyone involved.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community as we navigate this immense loss together.

We also want to acknowledge the incredible teamwork displayed by our first responder family. Hamilton Fire, Hamilton Police, and our Paramedic crews worked tirelessly under extremely difficult circumstances. These moments remind us of the emotional and physical toll our teams endure to serve and protect.

To our responders: Please take care of yourselves and each other. Lean on the support available to you—we are stronger together.

To our community: Hold your loved ones a little tighter tonight. Let’s unite in supporting those affected by this tragedy.

[York Paramedics @YorkParamedics]

Our tiered emergency response means we work alongside fire and police to provide the best care. When you call for paramedics, an allied responder like firefighters or a police officer may arrive first to assist until we get there. #Teamwork #PublicSafety

[InnisfilPFFA 3804 @3804IPFFA]

A very BIG thank you to our members and all emergency service personnel who are working throughout the holidays! Merry Christmas y’all!

[InnisfilPFFA 3804 @3804IPFFA]

Our members worked in shifts today to help the Innisfil Food Bank sort and organize food donations in preparation for the holiday season. #CommittedToOurCommunity

[InnisfilPFFA 3804 @3804IPFFA]

We stopped by the Innisfil Food Bank to provide a donation for the upcoming holiday season. We’re also looking forward to sorting food donations with them on December 17. Only 27 more days until Christmas! 🎅
