How to lie with stats: BC had ~57M ha old growth (~48M loggable). Now 11.1M remain; <2M loggable. Govt’s ~80% protected looks bigger only because the base is smaller. That’s not protection, it’s math games.🌲

@ecojusticecanada.bsky.social is challenging B.C.’s approval for the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission #pipeline.

After 10 years of delay, the company rushed minimal clearing before its certificate expired, yet the EAO still called it “substantially started.”

Fracking pumps hidden chemicals into land, water, and air, yet in Canada, these toxics are still exempt from public reporting. Tracking Fracking asks: why are communities denied the right to know what’s in their environment?

Once nearly wiped out by whaling, humpbacks are making a remarkable return to the Salish Sea. From “Big Mama” to new calves and songs that echo like human language, Salish Sea Sings Again celebrates resilience, recovery, and the whales’ vital role in our climate.

In the Anthropocene, survival is no longer just about humans. As species vanish and ecosystems collapse, grief becomes a necessary teacher. Human Grief asks: how do we mourn, adapt, and transform so we are not the sole survivors?

From political violence in Europe to deepening divides in the US, polarization is tearing societies apart. Us vs. Them explores the roots of this crisis, inequality, elite rivalry, and hardened identities, and asks how we might choose cooperation over conflict.
