Since extraction is being done in foreign nations, why should the Canadian government intervene? It should be the job of the government of that nation to protect its people. If more intervention is to occur it would hurt Canada’s extraction industry, which is also one of Canada’s largest industries bringing in a lot of wealth and opportunity to our country. According to the neoclassical approach, much of this would have not been possible. With more government intervention, potential multi billion dollar extractions could be put on hold or completely lost due to villagers in that area who refuse to move.
Canada and the Seal Hunt The debate between sealers and protestors is well known on the Eastern Coast of Canada. As the two prepare for the Canadian seal hunt their conflicting views are highly anticipated by the people of Newfoundland. Although the opinions between sealers and protestors differ, the seal hunt should continue as the high amount of seals could lead to a decline of the cod population, the harvest is an alternate source of income for many fishermen and finally seals are abundant and thus their population can sustain the hunt. Firstly, seals have a large appetite for cod that are currently at risk from overfishing. The further decline in cod population could negatively affect the fishing industry through a decrease in profit
Contaminating these waters will not only harm the wildlife, but it will kill a source of food that is so dominant in Newfoundland, and also will harm hundreds of people’s jobs. Oil spills cause a lot of problems in our ocean and to our marine life. Everywhere you look people are trying to create a more sustainable ocean, and this is hard to do when there is so much pollution and threats to our environment all around us. We, as youth need to step up and try to make a change and help to make our province a better place. We can help thousands of animals survive by taking action against oil drilling in our
Summary: Environmentalists and biologists are struggling to decide what needs to be done for the spotted owls, which were listed as a threatened species back in 1990. Another owl, the barred owl, has posed a recent threat on these threatened spotted owls. Both the barred owls and the spotted owls are native species to the Pacific Northwest, however, because the barred owl seems better suited for the environment, they are posing an even greater threat for the already threatened spotted owls. Do to loss of habitat from foresting, the spotted owl began to greatly suffer. The barred owl on the other hand, is good at everything.
Tommy Douglas was attempting to form the first Socialist government in Canada. Farm ownership was the key issue of the campaign. Farm owners believed that if they were to vote for Douglas, their farmland would be safe from foreclosures from mortgage companies. As a result, scare tactics from mortgage companies were used, to encourage voters to cast their ballot for the longstanding liberal government in Saskatchewan. Douglas used these threats to his advantage, with the promise of a blackened moratorium across the province in order to protect the farmers.
. The increased human activity at the US/Mexico border which includes vehicle patrols, military and police actions, illegal immigration, and artificial lighting are destroying the fragile ecosystem that the Jaguarundi need in order to survive and thrive. The “Border Wall” separating the two countries restricts its ability to move and communicating during mating season. Another danger the Jaguarundi encounters, especially in the south, are hunters who value Jaguarundi furs. There is no formidable force working for the preservation of the Jaguarundi, the fact that the exact population for this big cat is unknown makes it difficult for conservation groups to petition the respective governments for assistance.
The droughts and increased heat has had negative impacts on local aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic invertebrates are adapted to survive in a particular range of temperature and habitat. But global warming makes it harder to survive. This could lead to the extinction of several species of aquatic invertebrates which in turn would lead to serious consequences of the ecosystem. Many of the aquatic invertebrates are responsible for keeping the ecosystem clean by feeding on litters.
This means that the survival of this species would be threatened. Also, one more con of this mine is that it would have a huge effect on the native people. Their whole culture is based off this fish and wildlife due to their consumption of these animals, and any accident could end this culture along
Colin Boyd, professor in the department of university of Saskatchewan, is coordinator of Initiative 21 project and the author of Zebrugge ferry disaster. He wrote that, on two areas, Canada’s business ethics varies from the other countries. First was on the harvest of animals like seal, fur bearing animals and of forests. Canada was the center of controversy on these business activities. He also pointed out that Greenpeace spearheaded the attacks on Canada’s harvest of baby seals.
The decriminalization of marijuana would be a positive step for the Canadian government but the legalization of marijuana would do much more for this country and its people. If the Canadian government was to only decriminalize marijuana it would accomplish relieving the stress on the RCMP by taking the man power wasted on arresting and prosecuting the people that have decided to smoke marijuana and redirect it toward something more productive. As for the overcrowded court rooms the people
