OUCH. Bloc Québécois MP @patbonin absolutely clears the environment minister in this clip on Bill C-39.
My translation: “It’s sad to see the minister who is giving the impression of wanting to convince herself that the bill that’s directly under her purview isn’t a disaster.

Magpie River in Canada now has legal rights – just like a person.
Thanks to efforts by the Innu First Nation, it has the right to flow freely, maintain its biodiversity, be free from pollution, and sue if these rights are threatened.
Which Canadian landscapes do you think could benefit from legal protection?

🌲 🇨🇦 What's the value of Canadian nature? $10.9B according to research released today by the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. The research reframes how to understand the value of nature—not only as something to protect—but as a major public asset.

⚠️ Action Alert: Oppose the All-Season Resorts Act TODAY⚠️
We have grave concerns about the precedent Bill 35 sets and if you live in, recreate or rely upon, any of our province’s parks, protected areas, or public lands and waters — that’s all of us — you should, too 🧵

In the past couple of weeks torrential rain, landslides and flooding recently caused 4 deaths here in BC as well as hundreds in Spain. This is what death due to #ClimateChange and #FossilFuel pollution looks like. 🧵A thread (1/5)

A study by @MattBetts11 and co-authors shows declines in carbon and biodiversity are a signature of forest degradation.🌲Replacing old, naturally regenerated forests with young plantations and then regularly harvesting trees in NB is not good for the birds or for carbon levels!
Forest harvest in New Brunswick is resulting in large carbon losses. But storing carbon can also help maintain habitat for declining bird populations. Please help us get the word out about this paper that is being largely ignored by the media: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
