Federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna had her mind blown recently. Remarkably, it had nothing to do with the political gong show south of the border.

She then wrote a heartfelt article calling on people in Canada to act before monarchs go the way of passenger pigeons and buffalo.
