In one of the coldest big cities on the planet--Winnipeg, Manitoba-- there are still veggies growing in my garden in late November.
Yet the Liberal gov in Canada is investing our future in big oil expansion.

Unfortunately, industrial logging destroyed the owl's #oldgrowth forest habitat. Only a single wild-born #spottedowl remains today.

Old-growth forests are more than just trees; they are entire ecosystems. Plants, animals, fungi and other living things all rely on these ancient giants to live.
