my dog the tussle left both Dal and his dog Jack nursing some wounds he went back here to the outskirts of town to find the other dog and call police Constable Austin weyn was the first on scene after I whistled I heard a loud scream for help so I was a little taken back with where this may have came from um so I whistled again and the shriek came again and said help I'm down here hey this is the area where the the police department found found this gentleman a 61-year-old man who police say had
been stranded for 2 days alone injured and unable to move with temperatures plunging as low asus7 degrees he was behind this very like 5 foot tall um Bush of just grass and weeds and kind of laying on his back um and he was unable to get up he was quite cold he was shivering protecting him the whole time the man's dog who stayed with him even fighting off coyotes police say for a dog to be in this situation and act the way it did and alert us and other people to the location of his owner um to
if it could speak just to say thanks so much and um how much we appreciate what it did you know they they say it's man's best friend for a reason and the dog if you can believe it is named hero staff at the animal shelter now caring for him say he lived up to his name and I think it's just a testament to how loyal dogs are to their owners as for Dal All Is Forgiven with the dog's aggression yeah I'm glad I went back out there proving that when it comes to Man's Best Friend everyone needs a hero
Julia Wong CBC News Edmonton in BC rescue efforts are underway to try to save an orphan Orca CF teams of experts are working to help free the young whale whose mother became beached in a lagoon goon and died but as vet Bren shows us the clock is ticking an orca calf not quite 2 years old circles the Waters of an inlet off the coast of Vancouver Island trapped and alone this calf has weeks uh to live if it's not uh getting any nutrients so we know that our time is our timeline is short last weeke
nd the calf followed her pregnant mother into a remote Inlet here the mother was hunting seal but became trapped in a narrow shallow Lagoon it's a huge shame but it it is the risk and the gamble that these animals play with that kind of very Nearshore technique of sort of corralling an animal into the shallows community and First Nations members tried to save the mother but she died oh poor girl that's so sad attention quickly turned to the calf which they've named Brave Little hunter or quisas
10 vessels worked to save the half Thursday scientists used well recordings in a device that bangs metal pipes to urge it out to seed playbacks have been very effective about moving the animal within the Lagoon just not out of the Lagoon so far the still nursing calf seems healthy but it needs food a last ditch effort may involve using a sling to Hoist the calf past the shallows back to the open Waters where the tight-knit teapod can hear her call I'm optimistic just based on the fact that it of
ten literally takes a village to raise some of these carves and the whale will have strong bonds with other family members if it can find them locals say they've seen the calf eating birds so brave little Hunter hopefully still has a chance evet Bren CBC News Vancouver and there are calls for Canada to step up protections for the endangered North Atlantic right whale as birth rates drop Environmental Group oceanana Canada says at least 25 births should have been recorded this season but so far i

how much are you really paying can you get more money back and is it even really helping the environment David Thon looks for answers to the questions on the minds of Canadians and a once famous vacation hotspot now a toxic landscape of Decay could potentially make the US completely self-sufficient how the world's largest lithium deposit could breathe new life into the saltan sea the national breaks down story shaping our world [Music] [Music] next well it's been 5 years in the making Beyonce h

she already made history the first black woman to top Billboard's Hot country songs [Music] chart since then other black artists in the genre are seeing a spike in interest too my real went to 100,000 something you know [Music] views Canadian Sasha has been following her country music dreams for years now after she was mentioned in an article about Beyonce new fans are finding their way to her people have all sorts of diverse backgrounds M and uh that were coming out of the woodwork like hey ho
w come I wow I love this a wave of positivity that for Beyonce started with pushback she expressed she felt unwelcome in the genre before likely linked to the response she got performing at the CMA Awards this album Taps into country and blends in other genres too there's a cover of the country classic jool leene also featured Linda Martell the first black woman to play solo at the Grand ooy I think it's a thrilling moment country music songwriter Alice Randall has written about black country's

t matter and for me it is something that's important CBC News Toronto time now to break down the news shaping our world Once An American Paradise the new recreational capital of the world now a toxic land bubbling with lithium they could produce probably about 4 million electric vehicle batteries a year can it revive the Sal and se but first carbon pricing is a key pillar of our emissions reduction strategies that pric is rising we break down who pays and who wins I pay about half of what I get
back in the rebate about 80% of households are better off and the jobs hit hardest the facts about the carbon tax David Thon cuts through the rhetoric to show us how the federal tax works and what the April 1st increase will mean this carbon tax has got to go and I'm going to explain why the carbon tax isn't the issue the issue is competition if they collect a little bit more tax than us Canadians and make us all broke we're going to be able to save the planet from burning up there's a lot of ta
lk about the carbon tax right now in between the polictical Jabs and social media rants it could be hard to get a handle of what this really means for you like how much are you really paying can you get more money back and is it even really helping the environment let's get into it first up not everyone pays the federal carbon tax and not everyone gets rebates British Columbia the three territories and Quebec do have some form of carbon pricing but if you live there you don't get the federal reb
ate if you live in the rest of Canada you pay the federal carbon tax and you get a federal rebate businesses also pay the carbon tax big companies with big emissions may fall under a separate industrial carbon pricing system Canada has had a national price on greenhouse gas emissions since 2019 and it goes up every year it started at $20 per ton on April 1st it will reach $80 and it's slated to increase $15 a year until 2030 added to fuel that emit CO2 and other greenhouse gases when burned carb
on pricing in Canada is a key pillar of our emissions reduction strategy this is Sarah Hastings Simon she's a professor at the University of Calgary she studies how carbon pricing and other energy transitions can help Canada achieve its climate goals the thinking behind carbon pricing she says is this is that by putting a price on uh carbon Emissions on greenhouse gas emissions we make it more expensive to emit more expensive to create uh more carbon and therefore we make it lower cost to to use
Alternatives that create less carbon emissions not everyone can afford to go green so let's do the math on what the rising price means at the pump on April 1st you'll pay about 3 cents extra per liter that's on top of the carbon tax you already are paying for the average driver your total carbon tax bill for a full tank of gas will be from $8 to $11 but as a carbon tax Rises so do rebates hey also as part of carbon pricing is what's done with the money that's collected all of that money uh when
it comes to Federal carbon pricing is returned to individuals and families within the province uh that it's collected from maybe the most confusing thing about the carbon tax is the money some get back do you know whether or not you got the carbon tax rebate I believe I did but I'm not sure do you have questions about the carbon tax like do you understand it fully uh I'm not sure about it right now you're a resident of Ontario right yeah so you live here in Ottawa yeah and you're not sure if yo
u got the rebate no no those rebates are now called the Canada carbon rebate the term rebate is a bit misleading because you get the money up front before paying the carbon tax this is the government's attempt to make sure low-income earners are not out of pocket how much you receive depends on your family size and where you live for example a family of four in Alberta receives $450 every 3 months rural residents could soon receive a 20% top up that's because they tend to drive more and use more
energy than people who live in a city the question some have do you pay more than you get back I did my own calculations I pay about half of what I get back in the rebate so you're making money yeah so for me that's Andrew leech an economics professor at the University of Alberta he wrote about his family's rebate on his substack turns out he's making a profit what about others do we get back more money in the form of rebates than we pay in the form of a carbon tax if you were you know driving
a high emissions vehicle driving more than the average Canadian Living in a larger than average house traveling more than average then you're in those groups that are not getting as much back as they're paying to better understand and the original analysis let's bring in parliamentary budget officer eju the independent budget Watchdog also looked at this he told cbc's power in politics the rich tend to lose money with the carbon tax lower and middle- inome families make money if you take into co
nsideration the carbon tax that households pay on their fossil fuels that they're buying gasoline natural gas diesel and so they pay that directly and they subtract from that the the rebate then I about 80% of households are better off that's one way of looking at it examine the broader impact on the economy and a different view emerges a negative one according to the Parliamentary budget officer his economic analysis shows the carbon tax reduces jobs and revenues from the transport animal and g
as sectors lower employment lower profits lower dividends for those who own stocks meaning workers in the oil patch could lose their jobs and Canadian who hold shares in oil companies like sunor or sovis could see lower investment returns so is the carbon tax even working the answer is complex is carbon pricing working to reduce emissions you know it's a tricky question in terms of it's very hard in a in a causal way to say I'm gonna point to you know this specific thing that happened and it hap
pened because of carbon pricing environment and climate change Canada said its modeling does show that our emissions would be higher without carbon pricing and we also know that there is a cost to not acting on climate change which the science says means more deadly heat domes more intense wildfires and floods and as David thurton mentioned eligible Canadians get their rebates in installments the first payment typically coming six to8 weeks after the government Pro processes your tax return comi

etter than than this resource coupled with the technology that we have whatever there's mining it leaves a legacy of Destruction behind Legacy of contamination it's our minerals the minerals are in public lands at first glance a majestic landscape an enormous Inland Sea the largest in California often dubbed the miracle in the desert the salt and sea Sportsman's Paradise the new recreational capital of the world the sutan sea used to be a favorite vacation Hotpot for Hollywood stars back in the
50s and 60s Frank Sinatra Jerry Lewis and the Mark's brothers were among the regulars The Beach Boys as well Beauty and fun in all its [Music] phases but the sultan sea is also a cursed Lake it was formed in 1905 after after an accidental flooding and later became the site of multiple environmental disasters over the past decades drought LED 1/3 of the water to evaporate exposing 100 square km of toxic dust from the dried leg [Music] bed so the floating duck and the canal in front of Donna Winte
r's house now seem pointless now yeah now it's just dried up and the water you sees from the rain because that was all dry couple weeks back maybe a month dust and Decay a desolate landscape far removed from the paradise it once was I wanted to live at the beach that's why I bought here and it was like living at the beach it was awesome here that time the dock right there the top of that the kids were diving off swimming everything the Salan sea is now twice as salty as the ocean it is also the
most polluted lake in California largely due to contamination from agricultural runoff a series of abandoned Resort Towns now dott its Shoreline bom Beach is the most famous one with its toxic Waterfront and its surreal apocalyptic atmosphere it has attracted and inspired many artists [Music] but at the other end of the lake a geological curiosity is Raising Hope it's a lunar landscape it is a very lunar landscape Michael McKibben is a geologist and he's passionate about this place and this is w
hat makes this area interesting yeah I mean this is a manifestation of uh all the uh hot magma that's probably down at 5 to 7 kilm this and the volcanoes are the only surface manifestation of all all the really amazing stuff that's going on in depth that we can't see a dozen geothermal power stations are already tapping into this renewable energy source but the lithium rich brine deep beneath the surface is the real treasure here one of the largest deposits in the world but their current product
ion capacity of brine if they don't add any more plants they could produce probably about 4 million electric vehicle batteries a year if they ramp up the production like we think they will over the next decade or so then you're talking about maybe 10 or 12 million electric vehicles per year I think it's interesting because it's could potentially make the US completely self-sufficient a new Gold Rush is now under way in California three companies are racing to strike it Ridge thanks to what they
refer to as green lithium there's a lot of good environmental reasons why we should do it here the plumbing is already there the power plants are all there so why not just tack on a lithium filter and do it so this is the geothermal power plant David de is a former Tesla executive he's confident that energy source minerals the company he now works for will become the first to extract lithium here 2 years from now if all goes well we'll produce about 20,000 tons of lithium hydroxide product that'
s enough lithium um to manufacture about half a million electric vehicles per year what makes this lithium from the S sea what makes it so interesting what makes it um such a sort of sustainable resource is that you know you're not you're not having to mine anything the only sort of work that has to be done is to extract that lithium out of the brine before it gets reinjected we vastly outperform any existing operation on all those metrics land footprint water footprint uh and carbon footprint e
specially the technology looks promising but it's never been tested on a large scale so the local population remains very cautiously optimistic and many have concerns hey hello I'm how you doing Lis Alo it's a pleasure to meet you Luis Alo dedicated his life to defending and supporting the people from the Imperial Valley a region many Now call lithium Valley right now as as it stands is a community set to win no we're not so we have to come to the table we have to negotiate the terms and conditi
ons and we have to bring in the muscle like many here Lis wants to believe in the lithium boom he bought electric vehicles and had charging stations installed but he also wants to make sure that people here among the poorest in the country won't be left behind we maintain and operate over 70 air monitors throughout the Imperial County with persistently breathing unhealthy air causing Health impacts to our respiratory system that's why we have the highest prevalence of asthma especially among sch
oolage children Lis wants to ensure the extraction process is clean he also says some of the profits should be used for decontamination as a community as a people who live here we cannot afford any more pollution we're already overburdened with pollution little just C me off car for years leis has been taking the pulse of the people here today he's visiting Hector cantes an active member of the community what do you expect from me Jobs is it' be jobs it'll be infrastructure jobs uh because right
here is I mean right here in the valley the job the job rates it's it's outrageous we they're homeless there's a lot of homeless there's people want jobs but not at any cost okay what are we going to get out of it are they just going to come make this another mind it out do what they got to do and then leave or are they going to help us out stay here for the long run we just trying to figure it out you know how can we put this communities in a position of advantage if lithium holds its promise
the sultan sea could well be on the cusp of a major Revival and return to past Glory while giving the country the keys to energy Independence analysts believe there's enough lithium at salt and sea to replace every gas powerered car in the US with an electric vehicle and then some but getting it out is the challenge the brine is extremely corrosive eating through steel and concrete and ramping up production could take years up next the Catholic nuns who opened a bar I think many people would thi

beer they serve vermouth and wine also coffee and meals and it is all an opportunity as we heard sister Guadalupe say just a moment ago to to spread the word of God that is the national for March 29th I hope you join me Sunday for cross country checkup on CBC radio and CBC News Network and later that night right here for the national have a great Saturday [Music] [Music]
