My understanding is that we’re now not counting emissions from forest fires but we were up until a few years ago.

Symbiotic relationship between the whale shark and remora benefits both species. Remoras eat scraps of prey dropped by the shark and feed off of parasites on the shark's skin while they’re being protected from predators and get free transportation. 😊

Trump genuinely likes Carney. I don’t imagine Trump would feel at all positive about Poilievre. Poilievre is bad news. He’s always complaining and negative.

Nearly half of Canadian Conservatives say they approve of Donald Trump, despite his trade war and threats of annexation β€” not to mention his government’s fascist tendencies.

This should tell you everything you need to know about the state of the Conservative Party.

Interestingly, the Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association, who had previously opposed the infrastructure, eventually reversed their position and became one of the city’s most vocal cycling proponentsβ€”calling protected bike lanes β€œthe way of the future” and a β€œwin–win–win for all users”.
