"The Great Bear Rainforest has been supporting 373 full-time jobs for 17 years, with no end in sight, while also protecting the environment."

Early investments in First Nations' economic development have netted $1.77 billion in gross economic output since 2008.

Not sure local economies / decision makers should be entrusted with protecting critical ecosystems. But then again, the provincial decision makers have been doing an awful job at it, so who knows....
A forest advisory council has recommended shifting B.C.’s forest regime towards more local decision-making.

The plan has received applause, but some experts warn the plan lacks teeth and risks putting fragile forest ecosystems at risk. @zoeyunker.bsky.social reports. #bcpoli #OldGrowth

@ctvnewscalgary.bsky.social imagine if Alberta actually rehabbed its orphaned grizzly bear cubs like BC does. Kind of makes sense given it's a threatened species, and then we wouldn't need to be talking about wild bears living a life in the zoo as if it's a good thing.

A few bull moose shots from my Jasper wildlife photography workshops. Sometimes you get lucky and find a nice bull right by/on the road, and other times you track them through the bush and find them in a gorgeous spot like the final photo crossing the creek.

For example, the Great Bear Rainforest has generated $1.77 billion in economic activity for B.C. since its inception in 2008.

For every dollar of direct investment, the protected area has generated $5.61 in revenue in sectors like eco-tourism, fisheries and manufacturing.

This is just so backwards in 2026. C'mon Alberta, we've got to do better than this.
Alberta led the country in renewable growth — by A LOT — for years. Now investment has collapsed in the wake of provincial government actions. 2025 saw no new wind projects and very little solar. Corporate agreements, which funded 60% of projects, are down 99%. #ableg

It's so disheartening (not to mention just plain weird) to watch the most powerful and influential nation on the globe be systematically kicked to pieces and sold for parts by a silver-spooned rich kid who inherited his wealth and rose to fame in the 1980s as a glaringly immoral & greedy douchebag.

The federal government said it would protect 25% of land and water by 2025. By December 2024, it had conserved 13.8% of land and fresh water and 15.5% of ocean areas, falling well short as habitat loss continues and pressure mounts to expand critical mineral production. thenarwhal.ca/canada-misse...
