<In any event, the fires raging in Canada are crown fires.

Maybe Canada shouldn't have cut their wildfire budget up in Ontario:

cbc.ca - Ontario federal help wildfire evacuations

This year’s budget shows the province spent $271 million on emergency firefighting in 2025-26, but plans to spend $150 million in 2026-27. The province had initially planned last year to spend $135 million, but went well over budget due to a difficult fire season. 'It weighs on you': Ontario wildland firefighters being overworked due to lack of resources, union says Why are forest fires getting more frequent, intense in northern Ontario? Ford said the province would spend more than the $150-million base funding if needed, but NDP MPP Lise Vaugeois, who represents Thunder Bay-Superior North, told reporters this year’s budget doesn’t properly respond to Ontario’s worsening fire seasons. “If they started with a higher number, the service would be able to better prepare,” she said.

Ooops.
Maybe a little less "elbows up" (whatever that means) and more "elbow grease" up in Canada.
