"Caribou leave disturbances. In some instances they've been seen to move five kilometres away from a disturbance, and not utilize that area anymore."

@RyanKBrook @BearTrust @DavidEdmundsVT @AMCELL @cpawsmb Would you as a wildlife professional be able to come up with caribou caller data for different ranges in Manitoba? I happened to recall 2013 data that HudBay accidentally publicized, that's the only reason this news broke. Probably mining caribou habitat in many places in MB.

@RyanKBrook @BearTrust @DavidEdmundsVT @AMCELL @cpawsmb I'd wager a new z body that that the bureaucrats telling the mines Minister to send out the news release about these 15 companies, while at a mines conference in TO, did not look at caribou data first.
Better than Harper/Pallister/Stefanson days? Yes.

@RyanKBrook @BearTrust @DavidEdmundsVT @AMCELL @cpawsmb In a success story in Manitoba, we got peat mining banned in all provincial parks in 2013.

@RyanKBrook @AMCELL @EricReder @cpawsmb Mining is allowed in provincial parks? I’ll need to look into whether that’s the case for state parks in US. That’s rather unsettling.

@RyanKBrook @cpawsmb If you want to send a quick note to the Manitoba government saying no to park mining, here's the link

@Irngutaq2 @RyanKBrook @cpawsmb More than 80% of Grass River Provincial Park is open for mining.

@RyanKBrook @cpawsmb The previous PC government in Manitoba moved the biologists from the environment department to the mines branch.
So the public statement about caribou isn't coming from provincial biologists but is instead coming from Mines staff. #mbpoli

[EricReder.bsky.social 🌲 @EricReder]

Why is the minister responsible for industry like logging and mining looking after wildlife in the province? Fisheries and wildlife staff need to go back into the environment branch of the government. We have to reverse PC's bad decisions. #mbpoli

Record smashing heat in Manitoba was accompanied by more than a week when it hardly froze at night, destroying our winter fun.

Our reality is that until we stop putting pollution into the atmosphere we are not going to see improvement and we'll keep losing our cool.

Can you imagine a 0.95 GAA? That's @HLundqvist record save percentage with #Frolunda. So we took a pic with a Frolunda fan. But where's Lundqvist? at the arena for the bronze medal game, jerseys on, hoping for a meetup.

But I'm still searching for @HLundqvist ! Sure would love to get an autograph in the town where he started setting records! #WorldJuniors

Guarantee I'm the only photographer who got this shot of the save in the second period, with the game tied at 2.

Someone help me get a meet with @HLundqvist while I'm here!

Kiddo pointed out the Columbus Blue Jackets scouts in the lobby just now. I went up in very seriously asked them which was worse to have: Pierre Luc Dubois or Patrick Laine. 😳 Both guys denied involvement in any of those decisions. 🤣 #WorldJuniors
