> OTTAWA - The Trudeau government has yet to respond to an offer by Russia to dispatch massive water bombers and fire fighting specialists to battle the growing inferno around Fort McMurray, Alta.
> A spokesman for Russia's embassy in Ottawa, Kirill Kalinin, said Sunday that they continue to stand "Ready to help our Canadian partners to fight the ongoing wildfires in Alberta."
> Troops were deployed last year to help contain a massive woodland blaze in Saskatchewan, but Goodale said Sunday it was best to leave the current disaster to full-time firefighters.
