ICYMI: The CRTC has changed the definition of Canadian content for TV and streamers–but not radio. At least not yet. #musicnews
The CRTC has changed the definition of Canadian content for TV and streamers–but not radio. At least not yet.
What makes certain content officially “Canadian?” That’s been a complex bureaucratic question that the CRTC has managed for fifty years that’s involved a point system. What worked in the pre-internet age no longer

The Endangered Species Act is the world’s most successful conservation law, but it's under attack AGAIN. The Trump administration just proposed four new rules that would gut the Act and drive species closer to extinction. Take Action >> act.biologicaldiversity.org/nXrxsHJM-USw...

Scientists have observed female octopuses using their siphon – a jet-like organ, females launch debris with surprising accuracy – to throw shells, silt & algae at persistent males who won’t leave them alone.

In the deep sea, sometimes a well-aimed shell does the trick.

Ever heard of a riparian buffer? 🤔 Chances are, you've seen one without even knowing it.

These natural zones between land & water are little-known areas with an important job — filtering pollution, preventing floods & protecting wildlife.

Learn how restoring them can help revive entire ecosystems.
What are riparian buffers? And how does restoring them on private lands create (literal) downstream benefits? -
The zones between land and a river are a key to watershed restoration. Learn about what they are, what they do, and how to restore them.
