Opinion: Canada’s air and water at risk as Trump administration guts environmental rules Trump’s regulatory rollback is poised to unleash a wave of pollution North America hasn’t seen since the 1960s

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.

Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.

Senate votes to overturn EPA rule that limits 7 hazardous air pollutants The party-line vote marked the first time in the 55-year history of the Clean Air Act that Congress has moved to weaken the power of the landmark environmental law.

This election is about you Pierre Poilievre.
We reject your hate politics.
Canadians do your best. Don't accept the worst.

A graphic showing the percent of surface freshwater contained in the North American Great Lakes. Data comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and illustration is done by Sean Quinn.

There's still time to pour one out for the #GreatLakes today on World Water Day (March 22)💧

Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario collectively hold ~20% of the planet's freshwater - 6 quadrillion gallons! That's enough to submerge the entire continental US in nearly 10 feet of water!

Great! There were about 4000 people there, lots of media.
