Jet Fuel Shortages, Canadian Border Strike

A shortage of jet fuel in the Western U.S. is impacting flights and wildfire-fighting efforts, reportedly due to a lack of tanker truck drivers. Airlines have resorted to "tanker flights," where planes carry extra fuel to drop off at other locations. Additionally, Canadian border officers have voted to strike for higher pay, threatening to halt all vehicle traffic and freight across the border starting August 6th.
