Nov 24 ’20 EcoCentric: Canada’s emissions accountability law, interior rain forest event

Kokanee Creek runs through old growth.

Last week, the Liberal government in Ottawa tabled a new Emissions Accountability Act. Canada has blown past every emission reduction target so far, and Environmental organizations across the country had been pushing for a new act like the one brought in by the UK.
