According to the report, more than 3,100 cetacean incidents were reported to eastern Canadian response hotlines over the 15-year time span, and 44 per cent of all reported incidents in this region involved an at-risk species. What we ve seen over the past 15 years is that the number of animals that are reported to our hotlines, both live, distressed, and dead animals is going up, says MARS executive director Tonya Wimmer.

After years of promising that the country’s Paris Agreement target of 30% by 2030 was a “floor”, not a “ceiling” on Canada’s climate ambition, Trudeau told the White House summit the country is “now on track to blow past our old target,” with emissions falling to 439 megatonnes this decade. “He conceded it may be tough for Canada, a major energy producer, to cut emissions so deeply, but he said all countries must rise to the challenge,” CBC writes.
