The annual British Columbia herring fishery is underway, but not without controversy. Critics, including First Nations and conservationists, are calling for a moratorium on the herring harvest. The fish are one of the foundations of the food chain in the Salish Sea that support other fish and marine mammals. But where they were once incredibly abundant, decades of commercial fishing have reduced their population to a fraction of what it once was.

When the landslide swept down Lion's Bay's Battani Creek last month, the home of Dave and Barb Enns was directly in its path, and in the days after investigators confirmed their deaths. It happened after a so-called bomb cyclone had swept the region.

Trump's threats against Canada's sovereignty have inspired a now weeks long cross border protest movement in the park that straddles the Canada-US border on the West Coast. My report for Global News: https://t.co/uGhnIGiarm

If anyone questions whether Trump 2.0 is entirely built on lies see the stunning lies from the VP below. It is verifiably false that Greenland is under any threat, other than of course from the U.S. We live in a time of Contagious Stupidity. Don't fall for it

Vance: We have no other option. We need to take a significant position in Greenland to keep the people here safe and to keep our own country safe. https://t.co/8PmzbJskfL

Jesus Christ, this is pathetic🤦♀️ https://t.co/jH61wv8y41
