From Minority to Majority - Nature Labs Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals started with a minority government after the 2025 election but have upgraded to a majority government through floor crossings and three byelection wins last night...

With a majority, the Carney-led government can now easily pass economic, trade, and crisis-response legislation, (in theory) strengthening Canada’s hand during upcoming negotiations with the US over free trade.

It’s Wildlife Week, and this time the spotlight slips quietly through the underbrush and pauses, ears perked, on the ever-curious fox.

Foxes are masters of adaptation. They thrive in forests, grasslands, and even right alongside us in towns and cities.

As Wildlife Week continues, we’re celebrating one of the forest’s most iconic voices: the elk. If you’ve ever heard the haunting, echoing bugle of an elk, you know it’s a sound that stops you in your tracks and reminds you just how wild the world still is (and that maybe dinosaurs do still exist).

It’s Wildlife Week and this year’s theme celebrates nature’s colours, and what a spectrum we have to explore.

Nature’s colours aren’t just beautiful, they’re meaningful. They help species survive, communicate, and adapt.

Nature is a living example of how complex systems work.

Sometimes the best lesson plan starts with a simple question:

What’s happening here in nature?

Nature Labs operates just like this. Don't miss our unexpected and remarkable story of two grizzly bear siblings that help students think more critically and act more creatively.

In ecosystems, every species affects the balance of the whole system.

In democracies, citizens shape the direction of society.

Science helps students understand natural systems.
Civics helps them understand human ones.

Great point! We need to do that!
