Fires in Los Angeles, Liberals meet, Greenland rebuffs Trump, and more
Description
Fires are out of control around Los Angeles. Tens of thousands of people have been told to evacuate. Thousands more are on standby. There have been deaths and injuries, and over 1000 homes and businesses have been lost. Hurricane force winds have prevented firefighters from getting control of the fires. The weather has shifted over time, so instead of fire seasons, officials now talk about a year of fire.
And: Two days after Justin Trudeau said he would leave, the Liberal party caucus met and talked about what’s next. One big name has already said he won’t run: Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc. The main concern for whoever does step up: How to deal with the Donald Trump administration in the U.S.
Also: Canada’s government isn’t the only one trying to respond to Trump. Greenland is trying to make it clear: The territory is not up for grabs. Yesterday, Trump would not rule out using military force to take it over.
Plus: How does Meta’s change of heart on fact-checking affect Canada? How can doctors who move here find work? And more.
