#Canada isn't actually very 'nice':

"Hate crimes targeting people because of their sexual orientation were at record highs in 2021, with 423 #HateCrimes recorded, above the previous peak of 265 in 2019, according to Statistics Canada. Crimes targeting people because of their race, gender or religion as a whole also broke record highs, jumping to 3,360 in 2021 from 2,646 incidents in 2020, a 27 per cent increase. That comes after a 36 per cent increase in 2020."


#Polka is massively popular as part of the #norteno #MexicanAmerican genre heard everywhere from #Sinaloa to #Canada

Wildfire in Canada's Halifax leads to evacuation orders for thousands of homes https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/wildfire-canadas-halifax-leads-evacuation-orders-thousands-homes-2023-05-29/ #WILDFIRES/(PIX) #CANADA


Ici, les #incendies au #Canada sont passés derrière un festival de cinéma et un jeu de baballe pour grands bourgeois. Mais ça crame encore, et même toujours plus. Halifax est en état d'urgence. Le réseau électrique prend cher. Les évacuations s'accélèrent. Ça crame tellement qu'on ne trouve même plus le compte des hectares partis dans l'atmosphère.
Et c'est pire en Russie, avec encore moins d'infos...

Opinion: Alberta must seize energy transition opportunity

As much as Alberta’s leaders belabour the province’s oil and gas identity, its energy resources aren’t found solely in its hydrocarbon reserves — but also in its trained workforce

Muere a los 47 años Kiska, "la #orca más solitaria del mundo", que se pasó prácticamente toda su vida en un parque acuático de Niagara Falls, en Ontario, a cientos de kilómetros de la costa más cercana. Durante un tiempo le acompañó Keiko, que sería universalmente famosa como Willy. Era la última orca en cautividad en #Canadá: no volverá a haber más

Ailleurs qu’au pays du pinard...

Au Canada, des entreprises reçoivent l’autorisation de vendre de la cocaïne


La délivrance de ces licences à deux sociétés s’inscrit dans la nouvelle politique du gouvernement, qui cherche à faire face à une grave crise d’overdoses aux opiacés par la dépénalisation de la possession de petites quantités de drogues dites dures.

#NatureServe, which curates #biodiversity data from across #Canada 🇨🇦 and the #United #States 🇺🇸 estimates that “40% of #animals and 34% of #plants in the #USA are at risk of #extinction, while 41% of #ecosystems are facing #collapse.”

Each extinction is forever, and can create an unfillable #functional gap in an ecosystem.

Collapse begets collapse - of ecosystems, #ecosystem #services, and #societies. We are collectively on a #dangerous track.

Canada under pressure to ban deep-sea mining as global ocean summit starts in Vancouver

The deep sea acts as a significant carbon sink, and mining the seafloor could release CO2 trapped in sediment or disrupt the ecosystem’s carbon storage process

No more LNG — B.C.’s big climate problem

Even as the climate crisis intensifies, big oil and gas companies, like Shell, are pushing the B.C. government to expand the liquefied natural gas industry. Doing so would mean thousands of kilometres of new pipelines, thousands of new fracking wells and megatonnes of new greenhouse gas emissions. It would also mean B.C. could not meet its climate targets

The United States has had 40...since Jan. 1, 2023.


#Canada could gain 4.2M km2 of agricultural land as a result of climate change

I think the irony is that one country gets new land, while others will lose land. Regardless, good for Canada I guess.
