    I see that once again Glen Ridgway is urging council to fire up the chainsaws in the Six Mountains.

    Aquaculture is big business in Canada. In 2023, open-net-pen salmon farming in British Columbia alone produced more than 50,000 tons of fish worth just over $350 million.

    Off the coast of northern Japan, the Kangei Maru, a state-of-the-art whaling ship, hauled aboard a behemoth catch: a 56-tonne fin whale. The male whale, caught in early August 2024, was the first of its species to be hunted by Japanese whalers in 13 years. The kill came less than two months after Japan confirmed it would resume the commercial hunt of fin whales—the latest offense in a decades-old, already controversial industry.
