Climate change adaptation in the Canadian wine industry: Strategies and drivers Can. Geogr. (IF 1.032) Pub Date : 2020-12-16 Emilie Jobin Poirier; Ryan Plummer; Gary Pickering
The wine industry is and will continue to be impacted by climate change. The adaptation of vineyards and winery practices is therefore paramount to the success of winegrowing operations around the globe. We surveyed winegrowers across Canada to assess their adaptation status, the strategies they currently use or plan to implement to cope with the effects of climate change, and the drivers that influence

Mining sick: Creatively unsettling normative narratives about industry, environment, extraction, and the health geographies of rural, remote, northern, and Indigenous communities in British Columbia Can.

Rural, remote, northern, and Indigenous communities on Turtle Island are routinely—as Cree Elder Willie Ermine says—pathologized. Social science and health scholarship, including scholarship by geographers, often constructs Indigenous human and physical geographies as unhealthy, diseased, vulnerable, and undergoing extraction. These constructions are not inaccurate: peoples and places beyond urban

Land has played an integral role in Indigenous education since time immemorial. In Indigenous ways of knowing and being in the world, land is the basis of all life and therefore the foundation for all cultural and traditional teachings. Learning takes place in cooperation with the rhythms of everyday life, including land‐based activities such as hunting and gathering. This form of education is in contrast

Contemporary liberal governance requires constant access to a historical “reset” button, a simultaneous acknowledgement and disavowal of history. This is especially so in times of emergency or crisis; we are, supposedly, “all in this together.” The political economic institutions that facilitate this false solidarity—the anti‐social contract—range from the mundane to emergency measures, but they share

A not‐so‐green choice? The high carbon footprint of long‐distance passenger rail travel in Canada Can. Geogr. (IF 1.032) Pub Date : 2020-08-25 Ryan M. Katz‐Rosene
It is commonly assumed that taking the train serves as a more climate‐friendly means of travel than flying by commercial aircraft. Nevertheless, in Canada, long‐distance rail services are powered by aging and inefficient diesel locomotives. Moreover, long‐haul passenger trains are not typically loaded to capacity, and they must travel longer distances than equivalent air routes (which are able to benefit

Scientists advise limiting global warming to 1.5°C with substantial actions by 2030. Our viewpoint argues that climate response strategies in Canada have underemphasized and underestimated the potential contribution deep energy retrofits can make to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, leading to inadequate responses in the building sector, and that Canada can (and should) be ambitious with building

Indigenous student labour and settler colonialism at Brandon Residential School Can. Geogr. (IF 1.032) Pub Date : 2020-05-04 Alexandra Giancarlo
This paper contends that unfree Indigenous student labour at residential schools was a key—and underappreciated—component of settler colonialism in Canada. Colonial administration and the churches attempted to “civilize” and assimilate Indigenous people—and prepare the frontier for white settlers—through residential schooling. Labour, in accordance with Euro‐Canadian gender norms, was expected to usher

Oil and gas extraction has transformed Anishinaabe society in ways that undermine the consensual, holistic, and egalitarian basis of natural law. To many Indigenous people, framing fossil fuels and other energy sources as “natural resources” does not accurately define energy projects or capture related risks.
