Our Canadian government fails to file any objection to the planned US Naval testing in the habitat of Southern Resident Killer Whales. I have no idea why only the Greens raised this issue in Parliament. Only one news agency, the National Observer, carried any information about our efforts: https://www.nationalobserver.
And now the tests are approved – for seven years. https://www.ecowatch.
This should be the priority of our government in talking to President-Elect Biden – the move to strong climate action and shared work to protect endangered whales.
I will not give up in working to ensure our Southern Resident Killer Whales are not driven to extinction while a compliant Minister of Fisheries, Bernadette Jordan, keeps expressing her satisfaction that the US partners are “working well” with the Canadian government.
I hope that Canadian citizens and American citizens will unite in stopping these ridiculous and horrible tests. We need to protect our environment and all creatures therein. I am hopeful that President-elect Joe Biden will undo much of what Trump put in place in regards to environment but we as citizens must let him and Canadian leaders know what we want.
