Transients are seeking sea lions for dinner. The resident orca pods, dwindling because salmon decline, only eat fish, and are family centered. The transient killer whales haven’t visited this close to humans in Puget Sound for years. I wonder whether they know humans are no longer hunting them.

I may lose a lot of followers by hash-tagging #fuckcarney, but so be it. To those followers I do lose, I bid you farewell and good health.
This is not the “unified” #Canada I wasted my #Federal #NDP vote for. Anyone supporting “the great” #markcarney and his #cultlike, loyal #turncoat, #unethical, #partisan, #climatedestruction #liberals, who judge people like me for openly criticizing their great #authoritarian leader, can kiss my leftist ass and future votes goodbye for generations to come.
I’m no longer interested in #Carney’s #liberal #nationalinterestprojects. Mark Carney’s “globalist banker over politician” mentality is not at all compatible with my national interest, that is a fact.
Mark Carney continues to ignore my “leftwing domestic terrorist” interests while quietly sending #Canadian delegations to #AmericanFacist conventions and still claiming a pursuit of “national unity”.
The truth is Carney’s #nationalinterest claims are no more real than fascist Trump claiming he’s polling “better than ever” in an entire nation actively fighting against him and his corporate/facist ambitions.
Carney has used a #ShockDoctrine, #floodthezone agenda based on #Trump and #PierrePoilievre blinded Canadians, to achieve his and #DanielleSmith’s own selfish #rightwing, #corporate, #capitalist goals.
We’ve all been played, yet the most #patriotic #elbowsup Canadians have yet to even see it.

Southern resident #KillerWhales are protected under 🇨🇦 Canada's Species at Risk Act.
Only 74 of these whales exist in the world as of 2025.
The Carney Federal "government proposed sweeping regulatory changes that would have allowed the pre-approval of development in certain "federal economic zones" and given the federal cabinet the power to exempt projects from the "jeopardy test" for species at risk."

Carney's proposal removes impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, makes it easier to destroy fish habitats, and exempts select projects from the Species at Risk Act.

'The Species at Risk Act was passed in 2002 to protect species like the southern residents and to meet Canada’s commitments to protect biodiversity. No government since then has tried to weaken it' ... until now.
'To achieve the Act’s purposes of preventing extinction and providing for recovery, [the Species at Risk Act] prevents a minister issuing a permit for a project or activity that will jeopardize a species very survival or its ability to recover.'
Mark Carney is trying to change that.
'Carving out an exemption to allow extinction would copy a feature of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, where a committee nicknamed the “God squad” can override extinction protections. Recently, under U.S. President Trump, the “God squad” authorized risking the extinction of rare whale and sea turtles for oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.'

"Trading oil for orcas is a bargain Canada can't afford"
"If the [Species at Risk] Act is weakened to allow risk to this iconic West Coast population, no species, from caribou to monarch butterflies, will be safe.... It’s not too late to demand a path forward that preserves our natural heritage"

No, but you want us to keep doing it. You’re really gonna just keep asking my endangered ass to handle this?"

The government’s proposal, which is open for public comments until June 7, was lambasted by environmentalists for removing impact assessments on interprovincial pipelines, for allowing project construction to begin before impact decisions are made, for making it easier to destroy fish habitat, and for granting cabinet the ability to exempt specific projects from the application of the jeopardy test for species at risk.
Tell Carney to stop this here:

New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

Footage suggests orcas collaborating with dolphins to track elusive #salmon
“We started to notice that the #killerwhales and the dolphins weren’t going for the same fish kind of at the same time in a competitive way. Instead, what we saw was there is a little bit of organization,” says Fortune, of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.

#KillerWhales Find an ‘Unlikely Friend’ in #Dolphins
Off the coast of #BritishColumbia, dolphins lead #orcas to salmon and earn their share of lunch, a new study reveals.
#Pacific white-sided dolphins, a playful species with distinctive white coloration, are often seen alongside a population of fish-eating orcas in coastal Pacific Northwest waters. The orcas appear to tolerate the dolphins, showing no evasive or aggressive behavior.

These #Orcas Are on the Brink—And So Is the #Science That Could Save Them
Southern resident #killerwhales have lived off #PacificNorthwest for 1000s of years. They don’t associate with any of estimated 50,000 other orcas living around the world, even those who share the same home waters. They have their own language, customs and culture, and they are the most studied population of orcas on Earth. Because of human encroachment, they are in trouble.
