Bad Canadians again: Humpback protections downgrade by Canada clears way for pipeline

Environmentalist activists on Tuesday decried Canada’s downgrading of humpback whale protections, suggesting the decision was fast-tracked to clear a major hurdle to constructing a pipeline to the Pacific Ocean.

The government however denied it is playing pipeline politics with the whales.

Ottawa announced over the weekend the reclassification of humpback whales as a “species of special concern” rather than “threatened.”

As a result, the humpback’s “critical habitat” off Canada’s west coast will no longer be legally protected, states a federal government notice published in the Canada Gazette.

Jay Ritchlin of the David Suzuki Foundation told AFP that the decision was taken “incredibly fast.”
