Totally think this has merit. I wondered exactly the same thing.

IMF Sees Canada’s Fiscal Position as Strongest in Group of Seven The International Monetary Fund lauded Canada’s fiscal position relative to its peers as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to give an update on his government’s finances.

“Sometimes I find Canadians don’t actually realize how good they have it”

“Across the Group of Seven, Canada’s probably in the strongest position fiscally”

Great question. Why?

This is so egregious when it comes to endangered prairie dogs. There is one colony located just outside of the park that is almost certain to come under fire from this, like you said, they've been poisoned in the past.

It also appears to completely overlap the last remaining prairie dog population in Canada, which farmers near Grassland National Park have poisoned in the past.

Big hugs. I've lost great friends this way, and there is no sugar-coating it, it's horrible and awful and painful.

Not much chance of that...0.000001% that the Kings can beat out the Stars, Wild and Avs.

One last map. National Parks inside and near the strychnine use area in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Grasslands NP fully inside the zone
Elk Island NP fully inside the zone

Prince Albert and Waterton NP directly adject-can use right up to the park boundary

Riding Mountain, Banff, Jasper very close.

And here is the remaining range of the burrowing owl on the prairies in green completely within the approved area for strychnine use.

Burrowing owls inhabit similar prairie areas, using the same burrow holes, and feed on ground squirrels.

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Who?

Great to see Mirjam get this recognition for her incredible work and advocacy on behalf of wolverines.

Crazy.

Oh wow!!

B.C. First Nations are bringing grizzlies back to the North Cascades | The Narwhal In the cross-border North Cascades mountain range, First Nations in B.C. are working to restore an ecological and cultural relationship with grizzlies

B.C. First Nations are bringing grizzlies back to the North Cascades | The Narwhal In the cross-border North Cascades mountain range, First Nations in B.C. are working to restore an ecological and cultural relationship with grizzlies

For decades, cross-border efforts to recover grizzly bears in the North Cascades region have been hindered by government funding cuts. But a First Nations-led effort has kept moving forward — and later this year, they plan to reintroduce grizzlies to their territories. thenarwhal.ca/north-cascad...

I still don't understand your original comment. The Narwhal article and the critics are shining a light on the issue so citizens can be informed and can organize for change.

This is absolutely egregious. Poison has no place in today's society, particularly in prime swift fox, burrowing owl, badger, ferruginous hawk and prairie rattlesnake habitat...all species that are endangered, threatened or at-risk here in Canada.

And Saskatchewan's covers most of the prime swift fox and burrowing owl habitat. Two endangered species in Canada that both feed on ground squirrels.

Alberta's zones cover most of the prime prairie rattlesnake habitat. Brutal.

The best part about this is the second replay, where you clearly see he KNEW it was going in before it actually went in! Epic!!

Found the map of areas approved for use for Strychnine in Alberta.

Expect to see dead ground squirrels above ground, dead dogs and other pets, as well as a wide range of poisoned hawks, owls, skunks, foxes, coyotes etc.

There is no more painful way to kill an animal.

@johnemarriott.bsky.social

Huh??

Ridiculous that a single Minister should be given final say on projects of this magnitude.

Working with rural landowners to increase coexistence with grizzly bears and all carnivores is absolutely necessary!

This is a complicated issue and there are many solutions that this government has not been putting in place.

Exactly what we do NOT need here in the Rockies.

Science Based or Science Fiction Separating fact from fiction can be daunting when it comes to wildlife conservation
