Wildfires spread in eastern Canada, forcing evacuations in coastal Quebec (Reuters) Some 10,000 residents in coastal Quebec were forced to evacuate homes on Friday as wildfires engulf more Canadian provinces, in what is emerging as one of the worst starts to the forest fire season. The mayor of Sept-Iles, a coastal Quebec city, declared a local state of emergency on Friday, as wildfire risk led to evacuation orders in the region. Some 30,000 people across Canada are displaced due to forest fires that are burning in nearly all of Canadian provinces. More than 2.7 million hectares have been scorched so far this year across the country, equal to more than five million football fields, federal Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair has said. That's more than 10 times the average area typically burned by this time of year over the past decade.

Dollar backlash (Bloomberg) All around the world, a backlash is brewing against the hegemony of the US dollar. Brazil and China recently struck a deal to settle trade in their local currencies, seeking to bypass the greenback. India and Malaysia signed an accord to ramp up usage of the rupee in cross-border business. Even US ally France is starting to complete transactions in yuan. Currency experts are leery of sounding like the Cassandras who have wrongly predicted the dollar’s imminent demise on any number of occasions over the past century. And yet, in observing this sudden wave of agreements aimed at sidestepping the dollar, they detect the sort of gradual, meaningful action that was typically missing in the past. For many global leaders, their rationales for taking these measures are strikingly similar. The greenback, they say, is being weaponized, used to push America’s foreign-policy priorities—and punish those that oppose them. “Countries have chafed for decades under US dollar dominance,” said Jonathan Wood, principal for global issues at consultancy Control Risks. “More aggressive and expansive use of US sanctions in recent years reinforces this discomfort—and coincides with demands by major emerging markets for a new distribution of global power.”

The Debt-Limit Deal Suggests Debt Will Keep Growing, Fast (NYT) The bipartisan deal to avert a government default this week featured modest cuts to a relatively small corner of the federal budget. As a curb on the growth of the nation’s $31.4 trillion debt load, it was a minor breakthrough, at best. It also showed how difficult—perhaps impossible—it could be for lawmakers to agree anytime soon on a major breakthrough to demonstrably reduce the nation’s debt load. The fundamental drivers of American politics all point toward the United States borrowing more, not less. The agreement provides clear evidence that the nation’s overall debt load will not be shrinking anytime soon. Republicans cited that mounting debt burden as a reason to refuse to raise the limit, risking default and financial crisis, unless Mr. Biden agreed to measures to reduce future deficits. But negotiators from the White House and House Republican leadership could only agree to find major savings from nondefense discretionary spending. That’s the part of the budget that funds Pell grants, federal law enforcement and a wide range of domestic programs. Base discretionary spending accounts for less than one-eighth of the $6.3 trillion the government spends annually. The deal included no major cuts to military spending, which is larger than base nondefense discretionary spending. Early in the talks, both parties ruled out changes to the two largest drivers of federal spending growth over the next decade: Social Security and Medicare. The cost of those programs is expected to soar.

As legal gambling surges, should schools teach teens about risk? (AP) As a high school senior, Nick was blessed with a deadly accurate jump shot from the three-point range—something he was quick to monetize. He and his gym classmates not far from the Jersey Shore would compete to see who could make the most baskets, at $5 or $10 a pop. Before long, he was gambling staggering sums of money on sports, costing him over $700,000 in the past decade. He hit rock bottom last year when he stole $35,000 from his workplace and gambled it away on international tennis and soccer matches—sports he admittedly knew nothing about. Wagering is now easier than ever for adults—and children—and there’s a growing movement in the U.S. to offer problem gambling education courses in public schools to teach teenagers how easily and quickly things can go wrong with betting. It’s a trend that 27-year-old Nick wishes had existed when his gambling habit took root in high school and led him on a path to financial ruin.

Religious leaders, once mostly spared Haiti’s violence, are now targets (Washington Post) As gangs maraud through Haiti’s cities mostly unchecked, they are now targeting groups that had once been spared such violence—a sign of how the new level of lawlessness here is shattering long-standing taboos. “What we are observing today in terms of attacks on religious is unprecedented,” said Laënnec Hurbon, a Haitian sociologist who studies religion in the Caribbean. “There’s a desacralization of almost everything in Haiti. Everything that could bind the society … is nonexistent.” The violence has shuttered peristyles, churches and mosques, making it difficult for people to worship freely. The victims span different faith groups: an Italian missionary nun who cared for poor children was killed last year. So was a Vodou priest. Seventeen American and Canadian missionaries were kidnapped in October 2021. A Catholic priest was taken hostage in February. Several dozen worshipers were attacked last month after a Vodou ceremony near Canaan, a shantytown controlled by gangs. Haiti’s religious sector is now “directly” targeted in the security crisis, according to the Port-au-Prince-based Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights.

Argentines grill more steak despite pressures of 109% inflation (Reuters) Argentines are expected to eat the most beef in five years in 2023, extending the country’s reign as the No. 1 steak consumer per capita despite the painful impact of 109% inflation on food prices, a Rosario grains exchange report showed on Friday. The major beef producer, where “asado” barbecues are a key part of the culinary culture and steakhouses dot city streets, has seen in recent years beef consumption dip as prices climbed and diners shifted to cheaper chicken and pork. That, however, seems to be partly reversing, even in the face of one of the world’s highest inflation rates which has badly hurt spending power. Analysts expect inflation could hit 130% by the end of the year. “Despite everything, the traditional asado remains one of the pillars of the local gastronomic tradition, and a must at most Argentine dinner tables,” the exchange said, adding likely beef consumption this year would be 53.1 kilograms per person.

Use of NATO arms for attack in Russia raises doubts about Kyiv’s controls (Washington Post) The Russian fighters aligned against Moscow who launched a cross-border raid from Ukraine into the Belgorod region of Russia last week used at least four tactical vehicles originally given to Ukraine by the United States and Poland, U.S. officials said, raising questions about the unintended use of NATO-provided equipment and Kyiv’s commitments to secure materiel supplied by its supporters. Three of the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, also known as MRAPs, taken into Russia by the fighters were provided by the United States and the fourth was from Poland, according to people familiar with the U.S. intelligence finding, which has not previously been reported. The fighters also carried rifles made by Belgium and the Czech Republic and at least one AT-4 antitank weapon in common use among U.S. and Western troops, according to photos verified by The Washington Post. U.S. and Western officials have insisted that Ukraine carefully track the billions of dollars’ worth of weapons that have flowed into the country. Kyiv’s backers have also largely barred Ukrainian forces from using Western weapons and equipment for attacks on Russian soil. Yet the recent raid into Russia underscores how materiel can change hands in unpredictable ways. At least two MRAPs appear to have been captured by Russian forces after the operation.

As China Risks Grow, Manufacturers Seek Plan B—and C and D (WSJ) For much of the past decade, Western companies have sought an alternative to China to manufacture goods—a shift executives call “China plus one.” Increasingly, the strategy looks more like China plus many. Part of the reason is that no single country can accommodate all the production leaving China. Vietnam is business-friendly, but it doesn’t have enough skilled workers. India has a large labor force, but infrastructure is patchy. Mexico is near the U.S. market, but a long way from China’s component suppliers. The diversification, which some experts call multishoring, also reflects a stark new reality: The world is a far more complicated place to do business than it was a decade ago.

China’s quandary: Bail out debt-laden cities, or risk disruptive defaults? (Washington Post) Across China local governments, whose balance sheets have long been precarious, are struggling to service debts estimated to total as much as $23 trillion. Not only do cities have to make up for nearly three years of paying for costly “zero covid” measures, they also have to contend with a property downturn, slow land sales—a primary source of their income—and a weaker-than-expected economic recovery, which means lower tax revenue. Now they’re having trouble repaying those debts, local governments are floundering around for cash. And that’s being felt on the ground. Teachers say they’re not getting paid. Motorists say they’re paying more for parking. More and more cities are even auctioning off public services like school lunches, shared bicycles and operating rights for vendor stalls and sightseeing carts. As the situation escalates, so too are calls for the central government to step in to defuse the situation. But policymakers in Beijing face a dilemma, analysts say. If they step in too early or with too much support, they risk undermining attempts to improve fiscal responsibility. But doing too little or waiting too long could result in defaults with widespread implications for the already slowing Chinese economy.

Heavy rains continue to hit Japan, suspending some trains (Reuters) Heavy rains caused by Tropical Storm Mawar and a seasonal rain front continued on Saturday morning in a wide swath of the Japan, prompting authorities to issue warnings of damage and stranding many people as train services were suspended. Although Mawar has weakened from super typhoon status, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) urged people to be on high alert for landslides, rising rivers and flooding in eastern Japan, while warning of landslides in western Japan.

UN agency for Palestinian refugees raises just $107 million of $300 million needed to help millions (AP) Despite a dire warning from the U.N. chief that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees “is on the verge of financial collapse,” donors at a pledging conference on Friday provided just $107 million in new funds—significantly less than the $300 million it needs to keep helping millions of people. Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of the agency known as UNRWA, said he was grateful for the new pledges but they are below the funds needed to keep over 700 schools and 140 clinics open from September through December. UNRWA was founded in the wake of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 to provide hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled or were forced from their homes with education, health care, social services and in some cases jobs. Today, their numbers—with descendants—have grown to some 5.9 million people, most in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, as well as neighboring countries in the Middle East. UNRWA has faced a financial crisis for 10 years, but Lazzarini said the current crisis is “massive,” calling it “our main existential threat.”

Perez was able to hold on at a track where Red Bull have had some famous incidents between their top drivers in past seasons. With the victory, Perez closed the gap to eight points behind his teammate going into this race weekend. Verstappen was victorious last season, beating out both Ferraris while Perez finished P4 and over two seconds behind third-place finisher Sainz.

“You guys ready to lose?!” Angel called out as he flung open the door to Felipe’s house.

You were fast at work in the kitchen, laughing and shaking your head at the dramatics of his entrance. Over the years, despite everything that had ever happened in the Reyes family, all of you still managed to come together during football season. Sometimes it felt like you only came together just to give each other shit over your teams, but it was nice that some things didn’t change, didn’t get lost.

He looked around and quickly realized that you were the only one in the kitchen, if not the entire house. Walking over, he placed a kiss on top of your head, “Hermanita,” he glanced around once more, “you the only one holding it down out here?”

You chuckled, shaking your head, “No, Pops and EZ are out back by the grill,” you looked up from the pan in front of you, “Feel free to go and help.”

“Nah,” Angel chuckled before going and grabbing a beer out of the fridge, “I’d much rather stay in here and bother you.”

You rolled your eyes, “Damn, and here I was thinking that you were actually going to offer to help.”

“You want my help?” he cocked an eyebrow.

Your sigh turned into a laugh, “That’s a fair point.”

“When’d you get here anyway?” he asked before taking a swig of his drink.

“This morning,” you covered the pan on the stove and turned the heat down, “Had breakfast with Pop before you boys could show up and disturb the peace.”

“What are you two troublemakers up to in here?” EZ asked with a chuckle as he walked inside, a plate in his hands piled with food that Felipe had been cooking outside.

“Oh, nothing,” you smile, “just figuring out how we’re going to celebrate when the Chiefs choke tonight.”

EZ scoffed, a smile on his face, “Big talk for a girl whose team is already out of the running,” he grabbed himself a fresh beer from the fridge and took a drink, “Brave of you to wear those colors around here, considering,” he nodded towards your jersey.

“This isn’t gang territory,” you laughed as you leaned back against the counter, “Besides if Angel can wear his, I can wear mine.”

“You can all go change,” Felipe said as he walked in with the last of the food, shaking his head all the way over to the counter.

All three of you laughed, knowing and loving that he always put on an annoyed front when you were all there. You knew that if the three of you showing up and causing a ruckus every weekend was really a problem, he wouldn’t hesitate to kick you all out. But he enjoyed it as much as the rest of you, even if he didn’t want to admit it. Time together with the four of you was rare, and no one knew and felt the value of it all quite as much as your father did. For all his grumbling about the yelling and the shit-talking, and shaking his head at the amount of food that three of you would burn through, you would always show up to a full fridge every Sunday morning when you came to have breakfast with him. And the living room would always be clean and set up perfectly for all of you to hang out there later. You loved him, though, so you let him continue to pretend to be bothered by it. It kept you and your brothers amused, after all.

“We gotta get you one, too, Pops,” Angel said with a laugh.

“One what?” Felipe didn’t look amused at all.

“A jersey,” he gestured to himself, “I feel like these are your colors.”

“No way,” EZ chimed in, shaking his head, “He’s not gonna—”

Felipe interrupted, cutting off the discussion before it could continue, “Is it done?” he looked at you and then nodded towards the stove.

You nodded, laughing at his dismissal of the heated debate that was about to take place, “Yea, all set to go. Was just waiting for you and Boy Wonder to finish grilling.”

“Boy Wonder?” EZ looked at you with raised eyebrows.

“What? Sounds like an upgrade from Boy Scout if you’re asking me,” Angel smirked.

“I’ll demote him again after his team loses,” you laughed.

“They won’t,” EZ shook his head, adamant about his position, “No chance.”

“We’ll see,” your voice was singsongy as you helped get everything together.

You were listening to the two of them going back and forth as you started bringing everything to the table. You might’ve all been grown, with your own lives, problems, and responsibilities, but something about getting together for games at Felipe’s turned all of you back into punk kids again. It was all jokes and headlocks and pushing each other off the couch after dinner. And Felipe would always sit and watch from his chair, fighting to keep a straight face and not feed into your antics but smiling and laughing along with you. But you could always see it in his eyes, even when he was watching you trying to tackle Angel to the floor in the middle of the living room, he’d rather have you all there than anywhere else in the world.

The game was well underway, and the now-empty dinner plates were all stacked off to the side. EZ kept promising that at the next commercial break he’d bring them into the kitchen, but it never happened.

“Oh!” you bumped his shoulder with your own, “Called it! Choked!”

EZ laughed shaking his head as he gave you a shove back, sending you into Angel’s side, “You sound more and more like him every damn day.”

“There are worse brothers to take after,” Angel laughed as he draped his arm around your shoulders, tucking you into his side and preparing to put you in a headlock.

“Angel,” Felipe spoke up, waiting for you all to look at him, and all he did was give a slight shake of his head, causing Angel to let you go.

“You don’t gotta protect me, you know,” you laughed, “He’s not even that strong.”

“Pfft,” Angel shook his head, “That’s it, you’re done.”

Your scream turned into laughter as he threw you in a headlock, threatening to pull you down onto the floor. You turned your body, managing to pull your legs up and press your feet against him, pushing yourself away and getting him to break his hold on you with a laugh. He easily lifted and move your legs back off the couch, shaking his head.

“Not even that strong,” he muttered as he returned his attention to the game, “Bullshit.”

“I mean,” EZ chuckled as he got up to finally bring the plates into the kitchen, “she did get out of that pretty quick.”

“Shut up,” Angel crumpled a napkin and threw it at him, “Aren’t you supposed to be watching your team lose?”

“Don’t make him drop those dishes,” Felipe spoke up, “Or you’ll be buying me new ones.”

“Oh,” you chimed in, “don’t let Angel pick out China patterns. Please.”

“We’re supposed to be friends, you know,” Angel chuckled, “If I can’t trust you on game day, who can I trust?”

“No one!” you laughed as you reached down, grabbing the napkin he’d thrown and chucking it back at him, hitting him square on the forehead.

“Heads up!” EZ called as he walked back into the living room, carefully lofting a beer bottle to Angel. He sat down, handing you one before passing you the bottle opener.

The three of you settled down a little now that you had fresh bottles, not wanting to spill anything on your father’s couch. That ran the risk of genuinely frustrating him. And you knew that the spiller would be the one who either had to clean it, or replace it. That wasn’t a responsibility that anyone wanted on their shoulders.

EZ was in his glory as the game came to an end, his team managing to come out of it all on top. He stood up, holding his arms out, “Called it!” he turned back to you and Angel, “And you thought they were gonna choke.”

“They did for a while, there, Boy Scout,” Angel piped up with a chuckle.

“Still won, though,” a cocky smirk was plastered across his face.

“Shut up,” you swiped the bottle caps off the table and tossed them all at him with a laugh.

You leaned forward, elbows resting on your knees as you ran your hands down your face. It’d been a long day. Good, as they always were, but you could feel yourself starting to get tired. You glanced over at your father, chuckling quietly when you saw that he was passed out in his chair. You nudged Angel with your elbow, nodding over to the chair with a soft laugh.

“It’s exhausting dealing with you two knuckleheads,” Angel said with a laugh.

“Learned from the best,” you shot back with a smile.

You draped a blanket over your father, leaving him to sleep in peace. The three of you all cleaned up the kitchen and living room, restoring it to its former glory. As much as you wanted to say goodbye, you knew that Felipe would just be mad that you all woke him up. So with that, you all made your way outside. Their bikes were parked alongside your car, and there was something so reassuring about the sight of them all lined up together.

“Alright,” you gave them each a hug, “Stay outta trouble. Love you.”

“Love you,” Angel swung his leg over his bike, clipping his helmet on.

“Love you,” EZ smirked as he walked over to his bike, “And you can just call me whenever to tell me that I was right about the game. You have my number.”

You shook your head, smiling as you unlocked your car, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

IT'S COMING ROME IT'S COMING ROME 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 What about the Allies and the Axis with an Italian s/o super excited about Italy's win at the UEFA Euro? Like, praying-and-screaming-while-watching-the-final-match exited, and then driving-the-car -around-town-and-honking-in-celebration exited AAHAH! (Poor England, though. They'd be a little more low-key with him)

OvO I had to look up what this was because I'm not sporty but WHOOOP! 🎉 LOL YES! They call it football in most of the search results 😂 Get confused Americans! (Lol, I'm American)

Allies:

America:

Unlike me America loves all sports.

So he's right next to his S/O in their shaninigans!

He's going to have to stop himself from making too much food for the matches.

Accidentally bought silly string instead of blow horns.

Face paint central

He's particularly louder when the match between Italy and England happens and call to float.

Good think England didn't really care, which kind of spoiled America's fun.

England:

Doesn't really do football (soccer) but will sport a jersey in support

Does watch when his team is on

Kind of just enjoys watching his S/O parade around in celebration

Secretly hides the fact they gave him a headache, and doesn't want to spoil their fun

Does get secondhand excitement when his S/O shared any details or cool moments he might have missed

By the end of it he's a bit more into the sport than anticipated, even if his team didn't do well...

(I just looked back at the results and I understand why we must be gentle with England 😂)

France:

Is chuckling at how excited his S/O is being.

He also watches with them, but isn't as enthusiastic about it

No worries, he's purposely hyping them up the whole time

Buys them a jersey of their favorite player(s)

It's also an excuse to cook!

Sticks a napkin in their air horn when they weren't looking, and they both bust out laughing at the sound it made.

China:

He's out, peace!

He's not trying to be rude, but he knows how long these matches can be and is going to want peace and quiet at those allotted times.

Don't be fooled, he's just secretly watching the same thing in a different room

He's just not about the loud and proud deal

It's kind of a good way to bond though.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and having someone to talk to about the event afterwards is nice.

Feels like talking to someone you haven't seen in a while, but have all the things in common.

Russia:

Confused Russian noises.

Didn't own a TV for the longest time

It's kind of cute when he watches with them because he's so memorized by the ball, and just kind of zones out

It's funny as well because he jumps when his S/O gets loud, but he just chuckles happily and smiles at them

Will jokingly hold them in his lap to prevent them from moving around so much.

He slowly learns how the sport works, just by watching it, and now has a favorite player.

Gets sad when he's unable to watch some of the matches, but his S/O has them recorded.

Axis:

Germany:

He's watching with them, and just enjoying his time- oh god Italy is here.

Double trouble, but he's fine with it.

He's just happy his S/O is having a grand old time, and with their own kind let's him go under the excited Italian's radar.

In fact, Germany was the one to invite Italy over knowing full well they'd enjoy it a bit more with someone who understands the sport more than himself.

Has a big smile the whole time as the two prance around, but does have to take the air horns away.

When Italy leaves he asks his S/O if they enjoyed their day.

Helps them wind down for the night, and is more than happy to hear the details later

Japan:

AHHHHHHHHH!

He wasn't aware when the games started so he jumped when he heard them scream

Laughed it off as his S/O bounced around and decided to join them.

He doesn't even mind the high fives or hugs they give him.

Jokes on him because he's easily influenced and is cheering them on in his own way

The both of them wind up passed out on the floor after the matches

Italy:

Oh boy.

Welp, he's probably just as hyped up as his S/O, and tears will be shed

And oh the glorious food

It's like watching twins who are telepathic.

They aren't even talking, but they're reacting almost the same exact way at the same time

It's kind of scary when they get quiet when things start getting serious

There's no other way to explain the situation other than two loud Italians, being loud Italians (The Italians will know what I mean by this lol)

They almost rival America during the football season (Not soccer).

By the end of it they're hugging onto each other and jumping around.

All the energy does make them pass out rather quickly, but it's the only thing they're going to talk about for a week.
