Responding to the criticism on Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford told reporters, “There’s some politicians out there chirping away, well maybe what you should do rather than complain, is send support, send help, because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends.”

“That’s what you’re supposed to do,” Ford added.

He says crews are battling nearly 200 active fires across the province, half of which have been deemed “out of control.”
