    Kyron, your stand ups clearly address the issue and they are well rehearsed. Your interview subjects are being heard loud and clear, and they give detailed thoughts on the problem. One area of criticism is that there was some camera shake in one of your interviews.

    You do a good job of detailing your problem and your interview subjects seem knowledgeable. Although, I would have liked your voice not to be heard during the interviews. Good job!

    You did a great job as video was perfectly made: good video quality, perfect shots and good standup. Unlikely, during second video, I was unable to listen properly due to some background noises.

    I liked how your interviews and stand ups clearly described the problem, as the interviews were helpful in adding more context to the ongoing issue. I do think more variety of cutaway shots would have been helpful, but overall good work!

Legalizing Exotic Pets in Canada

Photograph  taken by David Burke             For years, Canada has banned the ownership of many different types of animals, including the animal depicted in the photograph attached to this blog -- a fennec fox, an animal that is native to North Africa. In British Columbia, it's known as a "Controlled Alien Species" -- in other words, an animal illegal to own in that province. It's in a  provincial listing  of all mammals considered as "Controlled Alien Species", and so far, B.C. is the most strict when it comes to exotic animal ownership. Meanwhile, other provinces are more lenient towards handing out permits instead, and one thing to note is that animal ownership is handled on a provincial level, not on a federal level with some exceptions (such as migratory birds). So what makes exotic animals like this fox illegal to own throughout Canada regardless? Is it a risk to public safety? Would that animal suddenly become a hindrance on ...

Fire is Coming: A Historic Analysis of Wildfires in British Columbia From 1950 to 2020

From the most destructive fires to have ever been recorded in British Columbia, seven have happened within the past decade. From the data shown in the above chart, three of the top ten fires occurred in 2017 alone, two of which were recorded on the exact same day. To put this into perspective, the data which was analyzed was recorded over a period of seven decades. Three out of the ten largest wildfires to have ever been recorded in British Columbia from this massive timespan of seventy years happened in just one year. There have been multiple different insights as to why our fires in the province of B.C. have been so destructive in recent times, and the reason is rapid climate change, which has led to hotter, drier conditions in the summer months. In fact, in the summer of this year, there was the notorious case of Lytton, which went so far as to  make international headlines in the U.S.  for its heat record of a whopping 49.5 degrees Celsius. What has happened within modern ...
