Extreme Rain Impacts (Ontario): St. Catharines residents report major flooding after three intense storms in 10 days (over 140 mm total), with the mayor saying help needs to move faster. Energy & Climate Policy (Canada): Ottawa is starting the process to designate Alberta’s proposed West Coast oil pipeline as a “national interest” project, a move that could fast-track approvals and limit some environmental law requirements.
