Wildfires continue in Ontario and other Canadian regions, with smoke reported as creating hazardous air conditions for millions in the United States. Ontario has requested federal assistance for evacuations while remote towns face damage. A separate CBS News segment included President Trump's primetime remarks on election integrity.
