BC pollution fighters eye liquor bottle issue
British Columbia moves to curb empty liquor bottles under the Litter Act. Conservation Minister Kenneth Kiernan says a feasibility study is underway as part of a broader anti litter push that already reduced soft drink can waste. The plan includes penalties and a two cent refund on containers. A new phase targets 100,000 discarded autos with free compacting service for government seized cars bound for Washington state recycling plants. Some industry groups argue consumer costs may rise.

Lougheed says PCs oppose export of Alberta water
Progressive Conservative Leader Peter Lougheed told about 500 supporters in Lethbridge that surplus Alberta water should not be exported and that water resources must be prioritized. A balanced policy would permit irrigation use while preserving surplus and a new water resources board would oversee development and downstream rights, with strong river management plans for the Oldman Red Deer and Bow.
