May 2: Action on climate change urgent. Plus other letters to the editor GlobeDebate
I have seen a recent flood map of my neighbourhood in Ottawa, thanks to a mapping project undertaken by the inestimable Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. That would be the same RVCA whose grant from the Province of Ontario was recently halved.
What a short-sighted and foolish decision that was. Climate change is here and wise governments will mitigate its effects and sharply curtail further emissions...........................................................Weather patterns have been changing for decades and we have not taken steps to change our stormwater management strategies to address the increasing precipitation events.
Let 2019 be the year where we start to limit the sealed surfaces found throughout our cities and “go green.”..........................................................Think of it this way: If the United States removed its security umbrella that protects Canada, Canada would be defenceless. We simply do not provide sufficient military to defend our borders. The same circumstance applies to climate change.Canada does not supply enough greenhouse gas emissions to affect Canadian global warming.

Raptors' bench missing in action against 76ersThe Raptors' second unit isn't what it was last year, but depth was still supposed to be an advantage for Toronto going into its series with Philadelphia. Through two games, it hasn't been, as the bench has been outscored 45-15, and Fred VanVleet, one of the leaders of that bench, didn't mince words on Tuesday. Josh Lewenberg has more.
