We need this desperately in Canada: "Media literacy has been part of the Finnish educational curriculum since the 1990s, and additional courses are available for older adults who might be especially vulnerable to misinformation. The skills are so ingrained into the culture that the Nordic nation of 5.6 million people regularly ranks at the top of the European Media Literacy Index. The index was compiled by the Open Society Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria, between 2017 and 2023."

American duck hunter orgs like #DucksUnlimited should be "up in arms" at this coordinated attack on the wetland restoration efforts over many decades that the hunters funded for waterfowl conservation and production. Many corporations also funded wetlands to curry favour with the hunters. And taxpayers also have funded wetlands, for example the $1B #NAWMP fund. Alberta is a vassal state already. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-wetlands-prairie-potholes-policy-rj-sigurdson-rebecca-schulz-9.7013956

“The forest department officers try to prevent these kinds of groups coming. But they use higher officials – politicians, high court judges, or something like that – to allow them to take photographs,” he said. “I fell in love with these frogs after seeing them. You feel like they’re jet black in colour, but when you put them under light you can find all the stars – like galaxies on their bodies. It’s just magical.” Dr Benjamin Tapley, ZSL’s curator of reptiles and amphibians, said the galaxy frogs are likely an “ancient”, “irreplaceable” branch on the tree of life. “I grimace every time I see a photo come up on my feed of a galaxy frog,”
