Rewriting the natural resources extraction playbook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For generations, fisheries, forestry, energy, and mining have been viewed generally as nature’s adversaries. After all, many business models historically depended on extracting finite natural resources — by clear-cutting forests, scraping the ocean floor, blasting mountains, and burning fossil fuels—often leaving damaged habitats, depleted stocks, and polluted waterways in their wake. I have spent many years collaborating with some of these industrial interests as a senior environmental adviser.
COMMENTARY: The fish that binds us: Why the Atlantic salmon deserves to be our shared regional emblem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We have provincial flowers, birds, and trees. We have tartans, gems, and fossils. But ask any Maritimer or Newfoundlander what living creature best represents the soul of this region, and you will get four different answers. That is our strength — and our missed opportunity.

We need a new legal

Read excerpt
Why do we insist on defying Darwin’s verdict, pulling species back from the brink when evolution has always been content to let them fall? Stand on the cliffs of Cape Breton, scanning the grey Atlantic for a spout that may never come. Walk the banks of dying rivers, where salmon once leaped so thickly you could nearly cross on their backs — and find only silence. The North Atlantic right whale numbers around 340. Three hundred and forty. That is not a population; it is a funeral procession. The
