## Resource

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the severe wildfires in Ontario and their political implications. They examine how acute environmental events raise climate change salience among voters, the Carney government's contradictory environmental agenda, and questions of state capacity as hollowed-out provincial governments struggle to manage large-scale emergencies. They also explore whether these recurring summer air quality crises will force a policy pivot from the Liberals.
