#ParksCanada is defending the $12-million price tag for its plan to kill all the #FallowDeer on #SidneyIsland as part of an #EcologicalRestoration project.

The federal agency has been under intense #criticism for months for spending millions on a program to #eradicate fallow #deer on the 9 sq km island, a portion of which is part of the #GulfIslandsNationalParkReserve, while the rest is privately owned.

Times Colonist · Parks Canada defends $12M Sidney Island deer kill, ecological restorationBy Darron Kloster

You probably know #Stephen #Miller as an #election #denier, a perennial Fox News guest, and, most famously, as the Trump adviser 🔸who proposed immigration policies so brutal that his own uncle spoke out against him. 🔸
These days, Miller also helms a hard-right law firm that is bent on eradicating any and all diversity efforts, everywhere from NASCAR to law schools.
You can think of Miller’s 💥America First Legal💥 ( #AFL ) firm as sort of a #low-#rent version of the longtime conservative law firm 💥Alliance Defending Freedom💥 (ADF).
Where ADF knows enough to present a professional facade while trying to #eradicate #abortion, enshrining into law #bigotry against LGBTQ people, and #undermining #public #health efforts in the middle of a pandemic, AFL displays no such restraint.

Public Notice · Stephen Miller's "America First Legal" is more dangerous than you thinkBy Lisa Needham

Today's #RandomEnglishWord in honour of my relationship with poison ivy

#eradicate - destroy completely, literally "take out the root"

- French: éradiquer

- Spanish: erradicar

- German: auslöschen

- Dutch: uitroeien

- Danish: udrydde

- Norwegian: utrydde

Each word contains that language's word for "out".
"Löschen" means to delete or clear
"Rydde" means to clear or tidy.
The Dutch "roeien" is not to do with rowing but with "rooien" or harvesting root vegetables and, you know, tulip bulbs
