Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is bowing out of the race to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader — making her the second cabinet minister to choose their current job over a chance to become prime minister.

The two biggest wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area have killed at least 10 people and burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures, officials said as they urged more people to heed evacuation orders after a new blaze ignited and quickly grew.

Last year's global average temperature easily passed 2023's record heat and kept pushing even higher. It surpassed the long-term warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit ) since the late 1800s that was called for by the 2015 Paris climate pact, according to the European Commission's Copernicus Climate Service, the United Kingdom's Meteorology Office and Japan's weather agency.

Much of the widespread destruction around the city occurred Tuesday after those aircraft were grounded due to high winds.

A senior government official said Ottawa has made no decisions yet on retaliation, and is not prepared to share the full list of items under consideration.

The fate of Canada's largest proposed carbon capture and storage project is even more uncertain after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation announcement this week amplified existing unknowns around the future of energy and climate policy in Canada, experts say.

A fast-moving fire broke out in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday night, threatening one of Los Angeles’ most iconic spots as firefighters battled to get under control three other major blazes that killed five people, put 130,000 people under evacuation orders and ravaged communities from the Pacific Coast to inland Pasadena.

Water-bombing pilots and crews from Quebec and a British Columbia company have been grappling with high winds and heavy turbulence in the battle against massive Los Angeles wildfires, as Canadians with homes in the area are forced to flee fast-moving flames.
