Environmental Changes In Canada

Describe realistic strategies that Canadians could take to reduce their negative impact on land, water and the atmosphere.

The Athabasca Delta is a breeding ground for species of birds, which was destroyed to clear the land for oil development. These development practices are a leading factor towards increases in pollution. A scientific panel stated on Tuesday that pollution must be corrected, as there are major debates against the oil sands development. Proponents argue that business through the Oil Sands has made Canada a major player in foreign supplement. Unemployment rates have decreased across Canada and companies generate huge profits. The Alberta Oil Sands provide Canada with a secure source of energy. Throughout the world, Canadian oil reserves are the second largest in the world. Oil mining operations in Canada also help create more trading partnerships with different countries. This is a great way Canada can strengthen relationships and ties with various nation-states. The Oil Sands is a stabilizing force for Canada’s economy, yet it has a tremendous effect on the environment. Corporations are held responsible for their actions, and environmental protection should be their main concern. The procedures that the Oil Sands has taken are not effective, to an extent, where the pace of investment and development in the oil sands

Extending from the Atlantic in the east, to the Pacific in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. This prosperity is represented by the voice that every citizen possesses thanks to the forefathers of Canada and the guaranteed rights and opportunities that the people of Canada rely on. As a nation, the pride, opportunity and freedom is not all Canada has to offer. Further, the natural beauty of Canada’s vast and beautiful lands come from various environments such as the Rocky Mountains, the tundra in the Arctic, and the farmland in the prairie's. In the great white North, having access to a universal healthcare system, celebrating cultural diversity of the people and the

We once lived in a world lush and plentiful where we enjoyed all the natural resources peacefully. However at the beginning of the industrial revolution more people moved to the cities therefore increasing their dependency load. Fastforward to today and the world has seen a drastic change in the loss of natural resources as well as a number of health related illnesses like asthma. This is mainly due to the effects from carbon pollution, greenhouse gases and global warming. Canada as a country is thought of as environmentally aware and progressive. Actually has many issues regarding this topic and if it is not taken care of it will affect the future of the nation. I care about this topic because it has to

With Canada being a country that relies heavily on natural resources throughout the continents it poses a great threat to level of severity this may impact. Therefore, with the rising levels of average air temperature as well as ocean causing large mounts of melting of ice, thus increasing sea levels. In addition with the increase in temperature levels this poses a threat to the certain weather patterns such as heat waves (GOC, n.d.). Canada has already witnessed changes such as, rising ocean temperature this being detrimental to the levels of survival rates for fishing (David Suzuki foundation, n.d.). Forest fires have increased decreasing the values of the trees, prairie drought; mining industry has taken a toll due to the low levels of water (David Suzuki foundation, n.d.). all these being of the utmost importance in maintaining Canada economic system. These areas that are being affected are job losses and natural resource

Canada holds productivity through its natural beauty. As a result, the economy of Canada is a major producer in a variety of items exported to the world. This couldn’t be done without its resources that expand throughout the country. Some global economy advantages aided by Canada include its staple exports of tree-related products such as paper and timber from abundant forests. The immense bodies of water adjacent with Canada provide for a prominent commercial fishing industry that catches popular and plentiful fish such as salmon and cod exported to the world. The hydroelectricity produced by its rivers help collect substantial amounts of energy to provide for the world supply. Along with hydroelectricity, Canada’s natural coasts and waterways aid for shipping ports to major

Mackenzie River Basin has been steadily warming over the last 3 decades and changes due to global warming are rippling through the entire ecosystem. The indigenous communities that live in the basin and depend on the natural resources are particularly vulnerable to these changes. Some the changes that are detrimental to these communities include the increases in forest fires, increase of permafrost melting and the decrease of water in the basin. The increase

Increasingly more species are becoming at risk of extinction in Canada, and the natural landscapes are consistently being altered by industrial,

Canada is also known as world’s 2nd largest country with over 2million lakes which are covering 7% of the land mass.

One of the first nation communities in Canada, Attawapiskat which is located in the north of Timmins, Ontario are striving to live their everyday lives, by having a hard time surviving the harsh physical environments in Attawapiskat. An example of a physical environment is climate and living conditions. First nations in the north have seen many changes in climate such as melting permafrost as well as warming and shortening of the winter season. Other first nations in the lower latitudes have observed these changes of the climate as well, but not in as the other’s in the north. Those who are in the south need to prepare in advance as well as those who are in the north so they can reduce the vulnerability of the climate, such as having relevant information, instruments and resources so they can get

“The more clouds in the sky, the more people will die”, are the words of a young child in Sarnia, Ontario. The first thing you notice about Sarnia is the smell of rotten eggs, but it is not rotten eggs you are smelling. That would be all the chemicals that are polluting the air from all the industries that have been developed. The air pollution has been described as the the worst air in Canada. Aamjiwnaang is a first nation tribe that is located in Sarnia, Ontario. Their territorial grounds is near a Chemical Valley that is made up of forty percent of Canada’s industries. There is about “sixty oil refineries and industrial strips that over see the St. Clair River”. These industries have severely impacted the environment by releasing toxic fumes into the environment resulting with an impact on the health and habitat and wildlife.

Significance of economy to voters nothing unexpected, however environmental concerns are rising. The absolute most critical issue in this decision battle is the economy, with the environment coming next. Environmental change touches each part of our economy and vitality framework. Natural issues have assumed an imperative part in the current year 's government race — and Canada 's political pioneers offer distinctive methodologies and levels of aspiration while addressing them. Regardless of the clamor, the leader 's verbal confrontation upheld the thought that nature and economy are inseparably connected to each other. Presently, in the first phase I am going to examine about stages of distinctive political gatherings on environment.

Last but not least, Canada is a place that I would like to visit because I want to ice skate on the Rideau Canal in the winter. The Rideau Canal is an inland waterway between the Canadian Capital of Ottawa and Lakes Ontario. A section of the Rideau Canal passing through the central Ottawa becomes the world’s largest skating arena. Skating on the Rideau Canal is an annual tradition for Canadians since 1971. Over the last 30 years the Rideau Canal has become a national symbol for winter in Canada. The Rideau Canal skate season usually runs from January to late February. Canadians actually skate to work on the Rideau Canal. I think that is very awesome because they are not polluting the earth. Also, by skating to work Canadian do not have to

Alexander the caribou is drinking out of the warm arctic ocean with his friends; Owen, and Joshua. It has been a relatively warm winter month with little snowfall so far this year, then all of a sudden, the ice cracks separating Alexander from his friends slowly drifting away into the ocean. He attempts to swim back, but does not make it. In 2002, the George River Caribou Herd (GRCH) population was between 800,000-900,000 animals but by 2014 the population of caribou was decreased to 14,200 GRCH, in northern Canada. While at first it may appear that animal decline and animal population loss in Canada/ the northern hemisphere, due to carbon emissions, is not as serious as it seems, but a closer look reveals that carbon emissions from factories, cars, trains, etc. are a cause of global warming and that the reduction of private transportation would be a quick efficient solution. By forcing businesses to pay taxes and restrict the amount of carbon output and the general public to use less private, and more public transportation, the Earth temperature raising would decline. As a result, this solution would not only stop the destruction of the animal’s; habitats, allowing the population decline to stop, but also stop all the other effects of global warming, such as worse air qualities, higher temperatures, and sea levels rising across the world.

It’s the favorite topic of politicians and news reporters: global warming. There are people who believe it’s true and others that believe it’s hype. But every day there is another fact that makes you think about the impact it may have on your life, like this month when NASA scientists reported that June of 2017 was the fourth warmest June in 137 years of record keeping. We forget that the same issues we face have more risks to wildlife. It’s becoming more well known that global warming is altering our wildlife and we must confront it before the effects are irreversible.
