There’s a lot of bullshit up in Nunavut, and not just from the Inuit in fierce defence of the ancestral and cultural hunting of polar bears and whales. Canada has about 17000 polar bears, which is 2/3 of the world’s population and the Inuit exert their right to the “subsistence” yearly killing of around 500 of them (3-4% of the population), which is officially “non-detrimental” and bizarrely allows the use of fibreglass motor boats and modern rifles, and them to sell the hides to the south if anyone will buy them. 75% of this harvesting occurs in Nunavut. What is described as “indigenous knowledge” - which is that 100% of the 13 sub-populations are increasing - is more optimistic than the “science” (which is described as "somebody actually going & counting them"). Of course, ultimately , a far greater threat to the bears comes from my long-haul jet…. There have undoubtedly been terrible things done right across Canada to the various “first nations”, but almost everything is now extensively subsidised for them as they guard their heritage with IMO more than a whiff of entitled victimhood. https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/convention-international-trade-endangered-species/non-detriment-findings/polar-bear.html
