Did you think we have improved forestry practices in B.C.? Think again. Clearcutting of ancient forests continues on Vancouver Island and elsewhere in the province. In this case, right through a creek which further increases the risk of flooding, drought and landslides.

The myth of Lemming suicide has its origins in #Alberta & Disney to thank for it! The '58 film "White Wilderness" has a scene of lemmings running off a cliff into the sea. This was actually shot in #Alberta where, no sea, no arctic, no lemmings.
But that's not all.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
