In Canada:the proposal would give cabinet the power to decide whether to wipe out a species to permit a project to go ahead provided it is “in the public interest.” ...Once a species disappears, it is gone forever. Governments rise and fall and are replaced by new governments. Projects start and end and are replaced by new projects. ... But nothing can reverse the extinction of the iconic species which are critical to Canadian livelihoods and way of life. And for what will we decide that extinction is necessary? What single project will our children’s children look back on and say — that was worth the killer whales or the caribou or the salmon? ...US President Donald Trump gutted environmental rules in the United States under the banner of “cutting red tape.” Premier Doug Ford has tried to carve out “lawless zones” in Ontario, claiming environmental safeguards have become obstacles to corporate profits.
