Doug Ford said he ordered new waterbombers to fight Ontario’s record wildfires. Budget documents show no money earmarked for their purchase

Internal budget documents obtained by the Star show no sign of money being budgeted for the purchase of six waterbombers.

Also: three of Ontario’s waterbombers, which have been grounded due to a lack of pilots, according to OPSEU, the public sector union that represents Fire Rangers and pilots.

Well well well.. whats the point of ordering more planes when we can't even pay the pilots to fly the planes.

Quebec has had lots of issues recruiting pilots as well.. but seems to have done somewhat better.
