We the people ask the federal government to Take or explain a position on an issue or policy:

Send US government aid (Medicine, Food, Firefighters, Aircraft) to help Canada fight the Fort McMurray Fire.

Created by J.P. on May 08, 2016

The Fort McMurray Fire in Alberta, Canada has burned more than 156,000 hectares (385,000 acres) of land, and is now approximately the size of the City of London and growing. The Fire has forced the evacuation of over 80,000 people; with the evacuation hampered by its sheer scale, the fire itself, and lack of fuel. Approximately 1/4th of Canada's Oil Production have been halted/disrupted. An estimated $7 Billion USD (US dollars) in damages so far have occurred thus becoming Canada's most costly Natural Disaster ever. We call upon President Obama to use his executive authority to offer aid to Canada in the form of Humanitarian Supplies and by sending Firefighters and Aerial Assets to help fight the fire and assist in the evacuation of civilians.
