Oh ya... here's what she said about the mars
" So the bomber was ready and available for the Alberta government to hire to fight the fire. But it wasn’t contracted."
Here's what Coulson said about the Mars:
"The Mars is currently going through it’s yearly inspection. Based on the fact no government has any interest whatsoever in the aircraft fighting fire, we have decided to take the Mars to the Oshkosh Air Show in late July in hopes of finding another business or home for it, keeping it somewhat operational”"
So, the Mars was not available, plus, governments have not wanted the Mars for a few years now because of it's age and the cost of keeping the damn thing in the air.
So, yes, your facetious comment concerning the not so bright Gunn is dead on. She should have stuck to staying home and cleaning dishes.
Imagine being the homeowner, the one homeowner, in a decimated subdivision that gets his place repaired rather than rebuilt from the foundation up.
In better days the wings could have been made stubby (and bi-plane in form) to become a heavy hauler to Greenland and places in the EU.
(or a 'barge' on the McKenzie River, winter and summer)
I wonder what this Fort Mac Disaster is going to do to Justin's schedule to pay off the debt! Personally I think we'll be up to our ears long after he's gone............probably after I'm gone too. 
Alex Pierson @AlexpiersonAMP They weep for a tree. But laugh at human suffering. @sunlorrie nails it. Again.

Your grandkids and their kids will be paying that one down for many decades to come.
Just like we are dealing with old man Trudeau's reckless spending through the 70s

Dean Skoreyko @bcbluecon A @globalnews staff member says Fort Mac got what it deserved and he's sick of hearing about the fire
André Darmanin @andredarmanin Please, no more talk about Ft Mac. I'm so done! There are much more pressing national issues than helping a poorly planned city.
Reconstruction is due to start in Fort Mac. The sooner the better...............we've got resources to sell and we need the money!
I doubt they will let anyone who might chose to do so anywhere near him, Durry. It will be a photo-op with the First Responders, politicos and such.
I heard on Power Play today that the Red Cross is sitting on 150 million dollars - the result of money donated by Canadians, companies and the two levels of government involved. Much has been said lately about the other charities that are working their butts off with few if any donations. Orgs such as the Fort Mac United Way, the Food Bank and the Boys and Girls Club. It might behoove the Red Cross so send some of that money their way - a fine gesture it would be and I know much appreciated by the recipients.
Booing is generally a waste of time and effort and can also be construed as being a little immature. Maybe you would be further ahead to email him and tell him about your concerns and what you expect from him.
