The discovery that pollution from a paper mill is contributing to long-standing mercury poisoning afflicting the nearby First Nation is another example of how widespread and persistent the problem has become, federal MPs say.

The ad, paid for by Environmental Defence and running in New Brunswick, defends the federal government’s clean fuel regulations and debunks Premier Blaine Higgs’ assertion they are to blame for the price of gasoline shooting up by about seven cents. It was first aired July 26 and will run until Aug. 15.

The battle to ban glyphosate, Canada's most widely used pesticide, has made it to Parliament. 

Next-generation nuclear technology “has no part in fighting the climate emergency,” Green Party Leader Elizabeth May said Tuesday as a handful of MPs joined anti-nuclear activists to voice concern about the federal government’s intention to expand nuclear power. 

The first National Ribbon Skirt Day will become a reality one year after Isabella Kulak was shamed for wearing her ribbon skirt to her Saskatchewan school.

Federal party leaders jousted over climate change, health care, foreign policy, the economy and Indigenous reconciliation during Thursday's, September 9, 2021, English-language debate — their last, best chance to sway voters before the Sept. 20 election.
