BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Dominant sports framing: Qatari coverage consistently links the crisis to the World Cup final rather than Canadian climate policies

Preference for Western sources (AFP, IQAir, UC Davis): few official Canadian or Quebec voices quoted directly

Limited coverage of local management in Toronto and Montreal: the focus is on US implications and the Trump-Carney showdown rather than Canada's response to the crisis
