Millions of people across North America have experienced hazardous air pollution this month as nearly a thousand active wildfires continue to rage in Canada. In addition to releasing hazardous chemicals and smoke darkening skies across the continent, the fires in Canada have also disproportionately impacted Indigenous communities, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes. Republican politicians have been loath to acknowledge the role of the climate crisis in making extreme weather events like this more frequent and intense, instead blaming Canadian officials for poor forest management. President Donald Trump has even threatened to impose new tariffs on Canada over the record levels of hazardous air.
Independent Canadian journalist Rachel Gilmore says that while Trump's comments are "extremely offensive" to people in the country, Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney's policies — while acknowledging the science — also do little to mitigate the climate crisis as he approves new oil pipelines that would operate for decades.
"He's not exactly taking the climate action that we need here in Canada," Gilmore says of Carney.

 Kyle Mazza/Anadolu/GettyA score of Democratic Party officials and allies in Pennsylvania are alleging that Kamala Harris' operations in the all-important state are "poorly run" and weakening her chances there, according to Politico.
Twenty elected officials, party leaders, and affiliates spoke to the news outlet to express concern that the Democratic nominee's campaign may have "set them back."
Their complaints zeroed in on concerns that the campaign wasn't doing enough to attract voters in metro Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and in the state's Black, Latino, and Asian communities, where Democrats likely need to win large majorities to offset Republican-leaning rural counties.

WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas authorized U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to move forward with activities necessary to address life, safety, environmental, and remediation requirements for border barrier projects previously undertaken by the Department of Defense (DoD) and located within the Border Patrol's San Diego, El Centro, Yuma, Tucson, El Paso, and Del Rio Sectors. The activities will be undertaken in accordance with the Department's plan for the use of border barrier funds.
In furtherance of Presidential Proclamation 10142, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the cancellation of all DoD 284 Projects. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), on behalf of DoD, is in the process of terminating the construction contracts for these projects. As part of that process, DoD will turn over unfinished projects to DHS in various stages of completion to undertake activities necessary to address urgent life, safety, environmental, or other remediation required to protect border communities.
Activities include but are not limited to:
Completing and/or installing drainage to prevent flooding. Installing and completing permanent erosion control and slope stabilization measures to ensure the safety and stability of structures in the region. Completing prior construction of patrol, maintenance, and access roads by adding guardrails, signage, and integrating existing roadways to address safety concerns. Remediating temporary use areas such as laydown yards, haul roads, and project areas impacted by construction. Disposing of residual materials not required for completion of the work as identified above. Closing small gaps that remain open from prior construction activities and remediating incomplete gates.
