This is so heartbreaking. That ecosystem is so much more fragile than it seems. I wonder if replanting would help in this instance, or if it would be too difficult/expensive.
If true, all I can say is THANK YOU to the Biden admin for forcing these deranged Facebook billionaire scumbags to remove dangerous propaganda from their fascist site.
Because they struck a deal with the media companies in that case. That hasn’t happened with Canada. They’re gonna do it this time, and I’m sure Canada will be fine without getting its news through Facebook.
