Danny Wilde is a former Junior hockey enforcer turned failed handyman. He's separated, resides in a storage locker, and is facing criminal charges and a beer league ban. When desperate hockey parents offer to help, their only condition is that he coach a floundering teenage team. His problems are just beginning.
Despite Canada’s enduring image as a natural paradise, every year thousands of Canadians become ill or die prematurely as a result of exposure to environmental hazards. Canadians understand that their health is inextricably linked to the health of the environment and are deeply concerned about the impacts of toxic substances on themselves and their children. In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier, David R. Boyd sets out to remedy Canada’s environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution along racial and socio-economic lines, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canadian environmental laws and policies with those in the United States, Australia, and the European Union, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the root causes of Canada’s second-rate standards. Finally, drawing on strategies that protect citizens in other countries, Boyd prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world’s environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.

In April 1997, the US and Canadian governments signed a Framework to co-operate in identifying and recovering shared species at risk. The goal of the Framework is to prevent populations of wild species shared by the United States and Canada from becoming extinct as a consequence of human activity, through the conservation of wildlife populations and the ecosystems on which they depend. This document profiles 10 examples that illustrate ways that binational efforts can improve a species' chance of survival and recovery. For each example, it provides a description of the species, its status, its ecology, and the causes of decline. It then outlines research and recovery efforts.
