Climate change offers 'invitation to explore the Arctic' as marine traffic hits unprecedented levels fpcomment

The number of boats voyaging through the Canadian Arctic reached a new high in 2019 as ice coverage in the eastern part of that region shrank to a new low, according to preliminary federal statistics.

In 2019, the shipping season — which generally begins in May and ends when waters freeze, usually some time in October, — passed with few remarkable incidents or rescue operations by the Canadian Coast Guard despite the proliferation of vessels. Neil O’Rourke The increased interest has coincided with a period of strong economic growth as all three Canadian territories have reported gross domestic product growth rates at or above the national average last year. In 2018, Nunavut posted 10 per cent growth driven by construction, mining and other resources development while the Yukon and Northwest Territories grew at 2.8 and 1.9 per cent, respectively, driven largely by construction activities, according to Statistics Canada.

“We have championed the North and its enormous potential to our international investors and to every politician we’ve ever spoken with,” Boyd said in a speech at the Canadian Club in downtown Toronto in November.

Poll shows Canadians favour national response to climate change despite Alberta’s carbon tax objectionsA Nanos Research poll conducted for The Globe and Mail suggests growing support for a national response to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change You mean liberal votes favour the carbon tax scam. Greta is smarter, stronger and more popular than Jason Kenney. Get over it Jason. She wins, you lose. Misleading headline. 'The poll found 35 per cent of respondents identified the environment as their top issue for the federal government,' meaning almost 2/3rds have other priorities.

Trudeau government’s promises on tackling climate change stymied by lack of dataThe lag time in reporting GHG emissions and a lack sector-specific data are among the gaps flagged by researchers and former federal officials lack of 'falsified' data Trudeau hasn't done anything regarding climate change except using a manufactured 'emergency' to manipulate people in order to scare them into paying another tax. Integrity is severely lacking at lately. Stymied by lack of a real problem. Meanwhile, despite 50% of all Human Generated CO2 occurring in the last 30 years, the planet is colder than 20 years ago. But climate crisis or whatever.
