Micro and nanoplastics are implicated in health deficits and disorders, including heart attacks and Parkinson’s disease.

Representatives from around the world are in Ottawa to negotiate a legally binding treaty to eliminate plastic pollution by 2040.

Canada has a dismal record on meeting its promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but carbon taxes are a promising development, writes David Tindall.

He became a poster boy of government muzzling in the Harper era. Two years later, the advice he sent management is still being considered by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

In an interview, Justin Trudeau said his pan-Canadian climate plan can be considered a bust if it fails to put Canada on track to meeting its international, 2030 emission-cutting targets
