Did you think we have improved forestry practices in B.C.? Think again. Clearcutting of ancient forests continues on Vancouver Island and elsewhere in the province. In this case, right through a creek which further increases the risk of flooding, drought and landslides.

The myth of Lemming suicide has its origins in #Alberta & Disney to thank for it! The '58 film "White Wilderness" has a scene of lemmings running off a cliff into the sea. This was actually shot in #Alberta where, no sea, no arctic, no lemmings.
But that's not all.
