In 2008, as the-then B.C. Liberal government was poised to bring in Canada's first carbon tax, the B.C. NDP staunchly opposed it, saying a climate plan should not tax consumers but target major industrial producers such as the gas, oil, cement and aluminum industries.

 

Fisheries and Oceans Canada says this year's Fraser River sockeye salmon run is 2nd lowest on record

 

Eight male elephant seals were identified between June 2022 and May 2023, and individuals were identified based on body marks or scars as well as their "eyeliner cues," the study said.

Frouin-Mouy said she named the eight seals after her favourite group, The Beach Boys, and her favourite one is called Mike, who frequents the research site hunting for food.

The Tony Barrett Mt Washington Marmot Recovery Centre

Built in 2001 within marmot habitat, the Recovery Centre provides a key link in the management and release of captive-born animals prior to their release to other sites in the wild. The Recovery Centre provides disease management by providing the final stage of quarantine in a single species facility and provides logistical flexibility for releasing marmots – that is, allowing the marmots to be acclimated to release conditions with respect to elevation, weather and natural foods. It also allows for the marmots that are to be released to be held back until field conditions are suitable. An important option during the last few years, when many of the release sites were not accessible until well into July because of unusual snow patterns. Therefore, the need for a dedicated marmot facility on Vancouver Island will undoubtedly continue as long as there is a need for intensive captive management of Vancouver Island marmots as currently exists.

"Everybody can always do more," Kang said. "But I will say that [B.C.] is doing more than what other provinces are doing."

I wonder what the figures are for the rest of the country?

Well, that's something, I guess.

I will have to dig through a lot of articles

Why don't you crowd source the work?

I'm not sure that Lemmy is the best option, but you could create a new community here and connect it to Mastodon, Matrix, Freidica etc. and ask people to contribute the information you want.

On the other hand, you could just download a list of members from your local Chamber of Commerce and that will be 90% accurate.

'Standing for the average person': Rustad lays out B.C. Conservative policy

"We have one objective and one objective only: that is to replace David Eby and his radical government policies," Rustad. "I will certainly be reaching out to (B.C. United) to bring down...the NDP government as early as possible."

The Ontario Science Centre is shutting down immediately as an engineering report commissioned by the province shows the roof could collapse — but while it could be fixed at a cost, the province is choosing to shutter the location indefinitely.

This is the John Rustad that said that carbon dioxide emissions were not contributing to climate change and 'we need to look at patients as revenue generators' and wants to invoke the notwithstanding clause to lock up people on mental health grounds. That's the Rustad that is getting a "thumbs-up" from business leaders.
