‘We Refuse to Watch Things Burn’: Canadians Steal Firefighting Gear as Justin Trudeau Yells at Facebook​

Government officials in British Columbia, Canada, urged residents of wildfire-affected areas this weekend to stop taking hoses, sprinklers, and other firefighting gear from the government’s rescue teams, lamenting that critical equipment is disappearing.

Residents who spoke to CTV News confirmed that civilians are taking the equipment and trying to put out the fires themselves. They also said that, in many regions, civilians are the only groups of people actively trying to put out fires.

“We refuse to watch things burn,” Gordon Favell, a resident of Celista, British Columbia, told the news agency.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s yours, it doesn’t matter if it’s locked up – get it, put it to use, put some fires out,” he asserted. “That’s what’s going on here, locals helping locals.”

 
Since the Canadian people paid for the equipment and since the Canadian system is socialist, don't the Canadian people own that equipment? If that's the case, stealing is not the correct word. They appropriated the equipment to make optimal use of it on behalf of all Canadians.
