“The rent-to-income ratio exploded on François Legault’s watch. After years of failing to focus on what matters most to Quebecers, Legault is Canada’s most unpopular premier, with approvals below 20% in housing affordability and healthcare.”

Building artificial beaver dams could restore B.C. Interior wetlands and encourage the return of native species — including the long-absent beaver

“The ‘Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots stand against COVID mandates. What we saw in Ottawa was not a protest, but a full-blown occupation meant to terrorize and disrupt people’s lives.”

#WhatWorks: When sugar cane is crushed to make sugar, it turns into a pulpy material known as bagasse, which then gets turned into paper.

Sugar cane can be harvested up to four times per year — much quicker than the 30 years it may take for a tree to grow and be chopped down. 🗒️🌳🍬
