Help protect Canada's environment! Please take a moment to read & sign the e-petition calling on the government to amend Bill C-39–Building Canada Strong Act. This bill threatens to weaken protection of nature, wildlife, and the well-being of Canadians: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/P…

Bill C-39 is dangerously short-sighted and puts long-term economic advantages at risk. Political accountability, integrity, and environmental protection cannot be mere suggestions. These safeguards need to be embedded directly into the legislation.

Our world is enduring the sixth mass extinction in planetary history: the Anthropocene Extinction. But unlike the great dyings of past epochs, this one is driven not by natural catastrophes, but by human choices. 📆 Wed, 11 November 2026 ⏰ 22h00 UTC / 17h00 EST 🎟️ per.maharaj.org/bio I will speak at this SCAN! webinar, for @NatureCanada, on how we can fulfil the promise of the @UNBiodiversity Convention, to ensure that future generations inherit a living world.

“Two-Eyed Seeing” may be the most distinctive contribution to epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge, to emerge from Canada. Albert and the late Murdena Marshall, Mi’kmaw Elders from Eskasoni First Nation, made seminal contributions to developing and promoting this weaving together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous worldviews. @NatureCanada is honoured that Albert Marshall consented to the creation of our new Award for Reconciliation in their names, and joined us for its inauguration.

The Trump tariff war has awoken Canadians to the reality that we must urgently diversify our trade relationships, to break the coercive power that any one foreign state can wield over us. The Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is our best path forward. I have accepted a place on Canada’s federal Advisory Group, to ensure that deeper trade with the EU will also lead to stronger protections for nature on both sides of the Atlantic.

A species can be assessed as endangered in Canada and still spend years waiting for Ottawa to decide whether to protect it — while the habitat it needs to survive keeps changing.
A CBC News webpage features an article titled "How a loophole in Canada's species-at-risk law can leave wildlife in limbo." Below the headline, there is an image of a truck following reindeer on a snowy road near the Cree village of Nemaska, near the Rupert River, in Northern Quebec.

cbc.ca/news/politics/buildin… MP Weiler's words on this Bill give hope to all those who have been working for months to raise the voice of nature and stave off environmental disaster. His voice in the House reflects the voices of tens of thousands of Canadians. Thank you, @PatrickBWeiler, for flagging the contradiction between the nature-positive vision that Canadians voted for, and the extinction agenda that this Bill would put in motion.
