Rare Canadian rainforest at risk from logging | The Narwhal Two forestry companies hold licences to log in B.C.’s rare rainforest, home to ancient trees, endangered caribou and rare lichens. Could a provincial park preserve the region?

"A century ago, Canada was home to an estimated 1.3 million hectares of inland temperate rainforest. Today, less than 5% of the core, old forest still stands... 'There’s no reason on earth why we should go in and log'..."

Why do perimenopausal & menopausal women in BC & Manitoba have access to free menopausal hormone therapy & we don't? National pharmacare.

This is the same pharmacare Mark Carney is now slow-walking. Not expanding.

We'll see more of these stories. This is a women's issue, @rechievaldez.bsky.social

Dennis Modry defrauded his aunt and uncle of more than $1 million. Jeffrey Rath has been reprimanded by the Law Society twice in the last year.

It's nice to be reminded that not only are Alberta separatist leaders comically incompetent, they're also deeply terrible human beings.

Danielle Smith has wasted millions on redoing our healthcare system-that is not a boomers fault unless 54 is a boomer now. It's a Danielle Smith corruption problem. Can you imagine the money that went to coal mine billionaires etc what could have been done?

Late last Thursday, I made my best effort to amend C-4 in a sensible and concrete way. I failed, alas. But here is a link to the argument I made. #cdnpoli #C4 #BillC4 #SenateofCanada

Instead of excelling and being the envy of the country they're determined to be the worst.
"We're just looking everywhere we can to not be outliers, but not make Alberta less generous than anyone.”

The UCP seems to believe the only way for Alberta can be prosperous is mining tar.

Renewable energy, tech, manufacturing; over hyped and not worth the province’s time.

Danielle Smith underscores the need to replace her.

Civilians are being killed, but she needs a pipeline. I don’t even know if my family is alive, but she needs a pipeline. Not an ounce of decency to not use these two in the same context.

When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When your only premier is a complete tool…

The province of Alberta's approach to the polluter pays principle; give the polluters public money (our money) to help them do what they are already legally obliged to do.

Too bad I can't sign; Mickey Amery is a Minister of Justice who doesn't understand (or doesn't care) that he also has distinct responsibilities as the province's Attorney General.

He has no authority to use the term 'my government', as PM Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social is the PM. Why is the LOO representing himself as being in charge. Is our PM going to allow such an appalling and overriding act such as this? Hopefully, his response will be clear and concise.

Not one red cent as long as this govt is in power. Not one.

It will never be his government and if the people of Canada would be betrayed by him overriding provincial and indigenous rights how are earth would he treat other nations?
