The international climate change report has more bad news for the west coast.
Sherilee Harper of the University of Alberta and one of the 330 authors of the summary report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there will be impacts on human health and well-being.
She says fleeing wildfires and flooding caused by climate change imposes mental-health costs.
Harper says those costs can also be indirect — the toll on farmers, for example, of not knowing what to expect from the weather or what crops would grow best.
The move comes despite the Canadian government's decision to begin easing its own restrictions on fully vaccinated U.S. citizens and permanent residents as of Aug. 9.
Evacuation orders have been lifted for all but one building in Kelowna, B.C., as crews have dismantled what remained of a crane that collapsed, killing five people.
The poll suggests 48 per cent of Canadians support the total reopening of the Canada-U.S. border at the end of August, including to tourists, while 52 per cent say they oppose the reopening.
The southern border represents a much larger political challenge in the U.S. than the northern one, and some in the Biden administration reportedly fear blowback if one opens before the other.
