“The forest department officers try to prevent these kinds of groups coming. But they use higher officials – politicians, high court judges, or something like that – to allow them to take photographs,” he said. “I fell in love with these frogs after seeing them. You feel like they’re jet black in colour, but when you put them under light you can find all the stars – like galaxies on their bodies. It’s just magical.” Dr Benjamin Tapley, ZSL’s curator of reptiles and amphibians, said the galaxy frogs are likely an “ancient”, “irreplaceable” branch on the tree of life. “I grimace every time I see a photo come up on my feed of a galaxy frog,” #Biodiversity #Ethics
"And there’s an unusual number of dual citizens in this group, he adds, American-Canadians. “So, yeah,” he concludes, this group has a “sort of evangelical, Mormon, oil and gas industry flavour to it,” and “a lot of them either work for American companies or are of American origin.” #EnemyWithin #AbPoli #CdnPoli #Fascists #Canada #ElbowsUp
#Carney ran on a build Canada platform that hasn't proposed any real nation building, rather we get pandering to foreign petro oligarchs. Here's some nation building actions that should already be underway: 1. Get our govt data out of the USA. House it in the EU until we have a domestic datacentre. 2. Get schools across the nation off american software and networks. Like stop forcing my kid to use an enemy chromebook. This will take a large investment in infrastucture to update schools. 3. Retrofit schools, colleges and universities with renewable energy and batteries. Gift the installs and equipment to help reduce school electricity costs (and work toward climate action). 4. Similarly assist FN and especially Inuit communities getting off diesel generators. The soot is speeding melting in the Arctic. 5. Like the national railway that our ancestors built, build a national fleet of electric truck-trains (truck with 7-10 reefers). The railways are often plugged and reducing productivity. #CdnPoli
Europe bans neonics after scientific evidence shows them terribly harmful to bees and birds (and bats and amphibians and everything that eats insects), and the birds start a slow recovery years later. In contrast, Canada's #capturedregulator refuses to ban neonics and there is no #biodiversity bounceback, just more declines. Canada's boreal forest and prairie pothole region are the bird nurseries of North America, and they are polluted. #CdnPoli #Neonics #Shameless
