I see that once again Glen Ridgway is urging council to fire up the chainsaws in the Six Mountains. Know that Ridgway is a long-retired North Cowichan politician who is as responsible as anyone for logging B.C.’s most endangered forest — the coastal Douglas-fir, found right here in the Municipal Forest Reserve. One can understand that a renewal of logging would help to justify his own past actions in clearcutting our rare forest. But don't let his bias cloud the reality of the situation.

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. But on June 30, 2029, the federal government’s long-looming ban on open-net-pen salmon farming is set to take effect. On that day, 63 operations will be forced to shut down.

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.
