On October 20, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump visited a McDonald's in Philadelphia, where he worked the french fry station and drive-thru window. Wearing an apron, he cooked fries and served customers while joking that he was "looking for a job." The stunt, witnessed by thousands, was seen as a playful jab at Kamala Harris, who claims to have worked at McDonald's during college—a claim Trump disputes without evidence. Harris, campaigning in Georgia, called the visit a sign of Trump's desperation.

In the wake of the India-Canada diplomatic crisis, Canadian National Security Expert Joe Adam George highlighted a troubling rise in fake asylum claims. In the first eight months of 2024 alone, Canada recorded 13,000 international students seeking asylum, with a significant number reportedly from Punjab, India. Many claim persecution for supporting the Khalistan movement, a narrative George suggests may not reflect the truth. He argues that this influx indicates an abuse of Canada's asylum and immigration system, prompting the Canadian government to recognize and respond to the issue, albeit belatedly. The situation underscores the complexities and challenges within Canada’s immigration policies, particularly amid geopolitical tensions. As the government moves to address these concerns, the integrity of its asylum process hangs in the balance.
