“Two-Eyed Seeing” may be the most distinctive contribution to epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge, to emerge from Canada. Albert and the late Murdena Marshall, Mi’kmaw Elders from Eskasoni First Nation, made seminal contributions to developing and promoting this weaving together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews. @NatureCanada is honoured that Albert Marshall consented to the creation of our new Award for Reconciliation in their names, and joined us for its inauguration.

The Trump tariff war has awoken Canadians to the reality that we must urgently diversify our trade relationships, to break the coercive power that any one foreign state can wield over us. The Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is our best path forward. I have accepted a place on Canada’s federal Advisory Group, to ensure that deeper trade with the EU will also lead to stronger protections for nature on both sides of the Atlantic.

A species can be assessed as endangered in Canada and still spend years waiting for Ottawa to decide whether to protect it — while the habitat it needs to survive keeps changing.
A CBC News webpage features an article titled "How a loophole in Canada's species-at-risk law can leave wildlife in limbo." Below the headline, there is an image of a truck following reindeer on a snowy road near the Cree village of Nemaska, near the Rupert River, in Northern Quebec.

cbc.ca/news/politics/buildin… MP Weiler's words on this Bill give hope to all those who have been working for months to raise the voice of nature and stave off environmental disaster. His voice in the House reflects the voices of tens of thousands of Canadians. Thank you, @PatrickBWeiler, for flagging the contradiction between the nature-positive vision that Canadians voted for, and the extinction agenda that this Bill would put in motion.

We're wondering what's hiding in the new tabled legislation, C-39: Building Canada Strong Act, which is an 232 page omnibus bill affecting a vast array of legislation and touching every sector of Canadian life... is the 'extinction agenda' still on the table?

"Extinction is neither a necessary nor an acceptable cost for development. It is outlandish that one week, the federal government announced billions of dollars in public funds to protect nature, and the next week, it announced plans to let private corporations lay waste to nature. That policy incoherence undermines everything the government has said it is trying to accomplish." - @AkaashMaharaj
