Range Rover: Say it Ain't So

1 week ago | piquenewsmagazine.com | Leslie Anthony

While most people have clearly moved on and don't really want to hear any more about snow, here's the thing: I hate the end of ski season; always have and still can't shake off my annual disappointment. Yes, I'm one of those who's never ready to let it go. Someone who, when living in Ontario, was always up for a spring-ski road trip.
Rupture of the Deep

For a while now,a certain angst shared by both the marine science and conservation communities has instilled even greater fear for an ocean already reeling from overfishing, plastic pollution, warming and acidification. That angst is over the prospect of deep-sea mining (DSM).
Ready for Ts’zil

It had already been what anyone would call a long day. Behind them was the drop-off on the saddle, the high-five powder run down a sunny backside bowl, and the long ski-tour to the base of the summit ridge. There was the sweaty bootpack up a steep wall of snow, and the discovery they’d missed the couloir and would have to rope up a rock-and-ice step for access.
On greed, cowardice and #Never51

Given Trump's sabre-rattling over Canada's sovereignty and real threat of annexation (if you still aren't taking this seriously, stop here), I'll say out loud what many find themselves silently contemplating: If Canada were invaded, would I fight? In the event, much like Ukraine, each of us would need to decide in an instant whether to take up arms or roll over. And if we fought, well... as in 1812, blood would spill between neighbours, families and (former) friends.
Wildlife without borders: Conservation in the time of Trump

Canada is home to some of the planet’s most extraordinary animal migrations. Perhaps best known are the spawning runs of adult salmon that make their way out of the Pacific and up myriad waterways to the streams of their birth, distances that can exceed 1,500 kilometres. Arctic terns likewise make a staggering return journey from the Arctic to Antarctic, flying more than 40,000 kilometres each year.

A Deep-Sea Research Scientist Studies B.C.’s Ocean Floor to Protect Vital Marine Ecosystems

When Cherisse Du Preez smiles, I feel I’ve pressed a hidden button. A deep-sea spatial ecologist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and adjunct assistant professor at the University of Victoria, Du Preez stands on the front lines of climate change’s most pervasive and pernicious effect: ocean warming. And yet, though she’s more informed than most on the state of the planet, a grin wasn’t on my bingo card for a discussion of the defining subject of our lives.
The Conservative War on Science

Mar 8, 2025 | piquenewsmagazine.com | Leslie Anthony

In case you sleep under a rock (can't blame you) or eschew social media (good on ya), tariffs aren't the only lunacy being promulgated by the chaotic grifter in Washington. Trump 2.0 is also taking a wrecking ball to science and international institutions.
