Several dozen First Nations in Ontario called for the resignation of the province’s environment minister Wednesday after he asked the federal government to not reintroduce a bill that would enshrine clean drinking water rights in law.
Last month, Todd McCarthy and Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz wrote to federal Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin asking her to move away from legislation that they say would “delay project development and undermine competitiveness.”
They singled out Bill C-61, legislation introduced in the last Parliament that sought to ensure First Nations have access to clean drinking water and can protect fresh water sources on their territories.
One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.
now that the white house doesn't give a single flying fuck about protecting federal wildlife reserves, they're planning on wiping out 2.5 million acres of old growth forests to make a shitton of money off the lumber.
knowing that this pisses people off and would open them up to a dozen-odd lawsuits, they're trying to squeak it under the radar with how much we're focusing on Everything Else. it's technically open for public comments until March 23, but only if you've heard about it.

you can:
-demand an environmental impact review
-shoot down their bullshit claim that we "need" more logging just cause we used to mow down old growth forests like there was no tomorrow
-refute their nonsense claims that old-growth forests (you know, the ones that don't burn well) are somehow a wildfire risk
-complain about how much of this has been done behind closed doors
-point out that a lot of endangered species will be impacted
Proof that Zionists are trying to make the Middle East into Europe.
The only good thing that I can think of is that we don’t have to look far to get building materials for all the houses that the Palestinians need to build.
I know that the people in the past didn’t really understand how habitats work, but why did they think that a pine forest, which needs lots of water and a colder climate, would ever faired well in a climate that’s much warmer and rain less than Europe? One match stick and then the whole forest would burn, including anything in it like the illegal Israeli settlements. I can’t say that I’m surprised that they rather let their people live in a death trap than plant local flora that could actually survive the climate. Colonists have always thought that their greed and pride is more important than human lives.
