Sustainability In Canada

Canada should not allow The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline to go through as it poses to many environmental and ecological risks. Pristine areas across central and northern BC, including the Great Bear Rainforest, are under threat if the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline is put into service. In the end, the concerns over the BC pipeline outweigh the possible benefits the pipeline may result in. The Canadian oil and gas company Enbridge, proposed the Northern Gateway project as a solution to transport 525,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

It is said that the government tries to have the best of intentions for the economy. In a recent article Canada is talked about in how they have been intervening in the farm markets. They are trying to enhance profitability for the farms by using different programs and policies. Government interference in agriculture does not only affects which goods and products are produced, but also the quantity of imports and exports of many commodities. This usually is because they are trying to make the economy efficient but this can sometime backfire and make it inefficient.

In The Next Canada: In Search of Our Future Nation Myrna Kostash assesses the future of Canada, one that she argues is different from her own generation. For the purpose of this research paper I will focus on Kostash’s subsection on culture and media – pages 65 to 76. It begins with the nexus generation, the group of individuals who bridge two periods of technological popularity: Industrial and Information (Kostash 65). This group, who was born between the early 1960s and late 1970s, have a unique ability to acknowledge the past while also living and understanding new wave technology as it grew. Kostash argues that mass media became the language of the generation and their ability to understand its broadcasting was a skill – they were experts.

(http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/climate-change/projects/race-to-the-top/) Race to the Top is a project that involves the Canadian government as well as the David Suzuki Foundation working together to change climate policies, looking into provincial climate change programs while encouraging them to take their efforts even further. This project is not only working with the government, but with Canadian citizens as well by informing them on the impacts of climate change as well as what they can do to help stop

In the years from 1945 – 2000, Canada developed and changed as a nation. These changes had both positive and negative effects and many have subject to controversy throughout Canada. With global crises at hand, such as the Cold War, Canada found itself involved in international affairs in a way it had never been before. The role Canada had to take in the international community greatly developed Canada’s international role. Throughout this, Canada found itself heavily influenced by the US and struggled to keeps its autonomy from American influences and maintain friendly relations with the United States.

The best landform region in Canada is the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands because of its fertile land, wide range of vegetation and mild temperature. The region has one of the best farming lands in the country. This is because the GLSLL is the youngest landform region in Canada and the soil is much softer and there are multiple water bodies around the area to provide enough water to sustain good soil. This creates job opportunities and fresh local food for Canadians in the area. The Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Lowlands has the widest variety of vegetation than any other region in Canada.

However, how does Canada compare with a similar country? America, being Canada’s neighbor, also owns a portion of the Great Lakes and shares similar conditions with Canada. Forcing them to face the same issue being the algal blooms of the lakes. These hazards altering the behavior of the environment and the ecosystem itself, algal blooms can cause trophic cascades: when the predators of the food web suppresses the abundance or alters the behavior of their prey (Stephen Carpenter, 2016). This results in dramatic changes in the ecosystem structure and nutrient cycling in the environment.

Since the 1960s, environmentalism has gained increasing recognition as a global social and political movement. In Canada, the rise of environmentalism has led to a number of significant policy and legislative changes in an effort to address environmental issues and promote sustainable development. In this essay, I will explore how Canada has responded to the rise of environmentalism over the past few decades, including the development of key legislation, the creation of government agencies and initiatives, and the role of the public and civil society organizations in driving change. One of the most significant developments in Canada's response to environmentalism has been the passage of various pieces of legislation aimed at protecting the

The government has passed many conservation policies to protect animals, eco-systems, plants and trees itself and indigenous people’s way of life, but many of these policies get overlooked and require a lot of extra work. How it affects the rest of the world- This action is permanent, and all of the world is targeted as a potential setting for deforestation. It is predicted that the continuing action may result in very few rainforest across the entire globe. Cutting trees can also be harmful to our ozone layer, which protects earth from dangerous radiation.

Both places have a far larger population than Canada, meaning production and distribution should not pose a problem. An added bonus, of course, would be if they used recycled paper, as it would allow more trees to remain

As the years progressed and the ages evolved, the demand for minerals and ores increased. The high demand resulted in a faster process and worse environmental conditions, when mining. These mining strategies posed a threat towards Canada’s environment and created a challenge the country had to face. The strategies created “erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, contamination of soil, ground and surface water.” (nrcan.gr.ca/mining)

Canada specializes in education, health services, food, agriculture and fisheries, natural resources and critical minerals, energy, financial services, advanced manufacturing and green infrastructure, all things that this region of the Indo-Pacific struggles in. Within the Indo-Pacific region there is an estimated $2.1 trillion dollars in opportunity for investment that would substantially help the Canadian economy to prosper. With the use of the strategy Canada and the large Indo-Pacific region will be able to globalize and grow

They provide massive amounts of oxygen and store carbon dioxide. Every second one and a half acres of forest is being cut down. The rate of deforestation per minute is equal to the same amount as 19 football fields, if this rate continues there are not going to be any forests within 100 years. This is a rapid amount and is expected to increase. Many rain forests have already been cleared.

Conservation and preservation are two terms that are closely linked and often mean the same thing. Both terms involve a form of protection but this protection is carried out in a different way when it comes to conservation and preservation. In the 20th century two men by the name of John Muir and Gifford Pinchot had contrasting views on the use of America’s lands and worked hard with Congress as well as the President to find a way to protect America’s vast lands. Muir promoted the use of preservation while Pinchot believed in conservation. Conservation involves the protection of our natural resources with the proper use of nature.

This ecosystem needs special or additional protection because of the impacts that tourism, mining and deforestation on Daintree Rainforest. Deforestation severely affects the ecosystem by destroying animals habitats in the trees, creating more pollution in the area cause of various timber mills built to making logging faster. Meaning that more fuel is being burnt with carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere which then impacts climate change. Mining has been another factor to why it needs additional protection with these tin mining leases which is held all of the rainforest. Though it has been impacting the plants and animals as it creates erosion, sink holes and contamination of soil.
