Various parts of Canada are currently facing a power dome, which occurs erstwhile a ample area of precocious unit successful the precocious ambiance acts arsenic a reservoir that traps power and humidity, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.

“Once these power waves are here, we request ways of protecting ourselves — the quality assemblage gets stressed successful temperatures astatine these levels, particularly group who are already vulnerable,” Ryan Ness, head of Adaptation of the Canadian Climate Institute, said. 

Those who are about astatine risk see older people, infants and young children, group pinch chronic unwellness aliases who are taking immoderate medications and those who activity outdoors, Health Canada says.

Below are 5 ways to enactment protected from the heat.

“Late successful the evening, good aft sunset, is different option, but I cognize a batch of activities don’t hap astatine that time. So, I would opportunity those are your benignant of 2 champion bets for the clip to beryllium outside.”

Quinlan besides added that power changeable is “one of the much terrible kinds of heat-related illnesses that hap successful the body.”

“We person very basking aerial coming from Texas and cardinal U.S., on pinch humidity coming from the Gulf of Mexico,” Chenier said. “So, this is the reason, but this is simply a classical setup for a power activity successful confederate Ontario, arsenic good arsenic successful confederate Quebec.”

From the beginning, Mildred vowed that her girl Veda would person each the things this recently blossoming post-war suburban paradise could offer.

They lived successful a charming Spanish Colonial location successful Glendale, the benignant of spot wherever location were much kids than cars connected the street. Veda’s days were filled pinch stickball, soft lessons and ballet. If she fancied a dress successful the show model astatine the Broadway aliases Bullocks, it would look successful a fancy container connected her furniture a fewer days later.

But this making out puerility was not capable for Veda. She had her oculus connected the bigger house, the fancier car, the wealthier man — a thrust for riches that would destruct her life and make her 1 of the top L.A. movie villains of each time.

Veda died past week.

Well, the character who played her, Ann Blyth, passed distant astatine 98. But this L.A. monster is truthful etched into my mind that I agelong agone stopped being capable to differentiate betwixt the character and the character.

Veda’s communicative unfolds successful “Mildred Pierce,” the classical James M. Cain caller and 1945 Joan Crawford film.

The movie is an apex of movie noir, filled pinch acheronian shadows, moody lighting and ominous swaying thenar trees. But it is besides a memorable — and overmuch analyzed — meditation connected people successful the American century.

We meet the Pierces arsenic Mildred is struggling to make ends meet. Her hubby can’t clasp a job, truthful she starts baking cakes. She yet gets a occupation arsenic a waitress astatine a downtown L.A. java shop, but keeps it a concealed for fearfulness Veda will judge her. She yet scores her ain American dream, opening a concatenation of restaurants pinch locations successful Beverly Hills, Laguna Beach, Glendale and beyond.

But Veda has zero admiration for Mildred’s accelerated upward mobility, striking the airs of a bluish humor who looks down connected difficult work. Veda loves to torture Mildred about being a middle-class striver, denigrating her mother’s activity ethic: “I’m really not surprised. You’ve ne'er spoken of your group — who you came from.”

Veda’s behaviour worsens, including a clone gestation pinch a boy of L.A. aged money, until the epic showdown. Her speech manages to beryllium some a diss to her mother and to the metropolis that talented her truthful overmuch success.

She tells Mildred she can’t hold to get distant “from you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I could get distant from this shack pinch its inexpensive furnishings — and this municipality and its dollar days, and its women that deterioration uniforms and its men that deterioration overalls.”

Veda’s conflicts pinch Mildred consciousness for illustration the opening of what would go the procreation spread betwixt the kids calved into the plentifulness of American post-war life and their hardworking parents. At 1 point, Veda rejects Mildred’s overtures pinch a statement that could beryllium speech from a 1960s melodrama about teenage rebellion: “You still don’t understand, do you? You deliberation caller curtains are capable to make maine happy. No, I want much than that.”

But Veda is nary idealist retired to extremity wars aliases cull her parents’ materialism.

“Mildred Pierce,” the movie, was released conscionable aft the extremity of World War II, truthful it’s easy to spot it arsenic an early commentary connected post-war life. But Cain published his book successful 1941. Critic David L. Ulin wrote Mildred’s struggles and sacrifices consciousness much anchored successful the boom-bust L.A. betwixt the wars.

Veda’s evil could besides consciousness anachronistic, particularly successful today’s world of nepo-baby jokes, “immigrants get it done!” and reverence of rags-to-riches stories. But it remains a applicable morality communicative — of the rot that comes pinch coveting each of L.A.’s beautiful things and the pitfalls of parenting by giving your children each the worldly things you lacked.

I situation you to watch the movie coming and not spot her up location pinch all-time L.A. movie villains, sharing the shape pinch Noah Cross, Keyser Söze, Hans Gruber and ... Joan Crawford.

Blyth lived a agelong life, moving arsenic an character for decades and raising a family. But she knew she would ever beryllium known arsenic that spoiled brat she played astatine property 17. My workfellow Susan King wrote a floor plan of Blyth in 2013, taking pains to abstracted the female from the character.

They besides acknowledged delays successful caller ballot counting person spurred frustration, and promised to velocity the process done different solutions — including by investing millions into caller predetermination infrastructure and ballot processing capabilities.

Gov.

The tribunal decision, a nonaccomplishment for President Trump and different critics who contend specified policies lend to unacceptable delays successful ballot counting, specifically upheld a Mississippi argumentation to judge message ballots received wrong 5 business days of an election.

But it besides lets guidelines akin policies successful dozens of different states — including California, which counts ballots postmarked by and received wrong 7 days of an election.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, who has agelong prioritized elector information complete a speedy count, called the precocious court’s ruling a “win for voters, for the norm of law, and for the early of our democracy.”

She said that she will “keep moving to guarantee each eligible Californian has the opportunity to beryllium heard, because our populist is strongest erstwhile each sound and ballot count.”

Dean Logan, caput of the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder/county clerk’s office, said successful a connection to The Times that the ruling “affirms what Los Angeles County voters deserve: the assurance that a ballot formed by Election Day will beryllium counted if received wrong the ineligible timeframe established successful State Law.”

“Our agency will proceed to supply elector education, multilingual outreach, and leverage disposable resources to guarantee voting entree for our 5.8 cardinal registered voters,” Logan said.

Many voting authorities experts work together California’s ballot counting should and could beryllium faster, but disagree pinch the Trump administration’s efforts to measurement successful pinch policies specified arsenic predetermination time deadlines.

In 2024, California counted much than 406,000 late-arriving message ballots, but they represented only about 2.5% of the statewide total. Experts opportunity California’s delayed results person acold much to do pinch the monolithic influx of message ballots that are placed successful ballot driblet boxes aliases get astatine processing accommodation connected aliases conscionable earlier predetermination day.

Rick Hasen, an predetermination rule master and head of the Safeguarding Democracy Project astatine UCLA Law, said the court’s determination was a “symbolic loss” for Trump, successful that the tribunal rejected his preferred argumentation connected message ballots, but “doesn’t appreciably alteration really agelong it takes to count ballots” because late-arriving ballots were ne'er the problem.

In a study published Thursday, the California Voter Foundation recommended statewide take of “sign, scan, and go” programs that let elections officials to instantly process message ballots that voters taxable successful personification astatine polling centers aliases driblet boxes.

The instauration recommended ballot curing programs that velocity up the process by utilizing a unafraid matter level erstwhile double checking whether a ballot is morganatic erstwhile a voter’s signature doesn’t lucifer authorities records.

It besides urged the authorities to put $35 cardinal successful a elector acquisition run to promote early ballot returns, and much than $55 cardinal successful improving counting capacity and ratio successful region elections facilities.

Trump and different conservatives had called for an extremity to authorities policies allowing late-arriving message ballots to beryllium counted arsenic an overdue hole to a voting strategy that often can’t nutrient predetermination results successful adjacent races for days aft polls close, arsenic was the lawsuit successful California’s caller superior races for politician and L.A. mayor.

Trump has pointed to California’s time-consuming count arsenic impervious of wide fraud to undermine Republican candidates, though he has never produced evidence to support that declare and Democrats person fiercely denied it.

On Monday, Trump called the precocious court’s determination to uphold specified authorities policies a “tremendous loss,” and much logic to walk the Save America Act — a measure he has backed that would enforce caller elector ID and impervious of citizenship requirements and prohibition message ballots isolated from for subject personnel, individuals suffering from illness, disability, and successful different uncommon circumstances.

He said politicians person “no excuse” different than “CHEATING!” to reason specified measures, particularly astatine “a clip erstwhile location is simply a powerful Communist Movement taking spot successful our Country, 1 much vulnerable than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, aliases September 11th.”

But California leaders rejected that — saying the criticisms of message ballots are baseless and an effort by Trump and his friends to undermine elections successful which they are poised to lose, peculiarly successful large bluish states specified arsenic California, by attempting to wrest power complete voting processes that person ever been the purview of states, not the national government.

California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said Monday that states person been “primarily responsible for regulating elections” since the nation’s founding, and his agency was “pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court has respected that authority.”

“Today’s determination recognizes a basal reality: Mail delays happen. When group ballot by predetermination day, their ballots should not beryllium discarded because of those delays,” he said.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat connected the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, which has oversight complete national elections, praised the precocious tribunal Monday for acknowledging that thing successful national rule precludes states from counting message ballots successful the days aft an election.

“Today’s determination is simply a triumph for voting authorities and a rejection of Trump’s attacks connected message and absentee voters,” Padilla said.

Liberal groups and galore voting authorities experts besides hailed the ruling arsenic a triumph for voters.

Moving up deadlines for message ballots is conscionable 1 effort successful a overmuch broader governmental warfare complete voting and the rules that govern it. The U.S. Constitution mostly gives states the authority to tally their ain elections, but the Trump management has been trying to asseverate greater national power — particularly about message ballots.

Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive bid directing the U.S. Postal Service to asseverate power complete message balloting by designing caller envelopes pinch typical barroom codes that would let the national authorities to guarantee ballots only spell to and get returned by eligible voters. The bid prompted the Postal Service to propose caller rules requiring states to manus complete their elector mailing lists truthful it could instrumentality Trump’s directive.

In a missive to U.S. Postmaster ‌General David Steiner connected Wednesday, Democratic senators denounced the projected norm arsenic an “unconstitutional and forbidden effort to toggle shape [USPS] into an predetermination management agency controlled by the White House and President Trump.”

In a Senate proceeding the aforesaid day, Steiner said that nether the caller rule, the USPS would not message the ballots of a authorities that refused to move complete its elector lists, but besides that his agency would adhere to immoderate tribunal orders curtailing its implementation.

On Thursday, conscionable specified an bid came down successful a national lawsuit successful which California and different Democrat-led states challenged Trump’s executive order. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the Constitution does not assistance the president “any circumstantial powers complete elections,” and blocked his bid arsenic unlawful.

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, who is chair of the Democratic Assn. of Secretaries of State, said states specified arsenic California were correct to attraction connected expanding finance successful their ain predetermination infrastructure alternatively than accepting the Trump administration’s “bad argumentation ideas” for speeding things up.

Newsom’s agency connected Monday said that is precisely what California has been doing. It pointed to laws passed by the authorities Legislature past twelvemonth that let predetermination officials to statesman processing message ballots earlier and require them to decorativeness counting ballots sooner.
