What's inside Canada's largest ever protected area?
It was protected just about a month ago, and it's located about 100 kilometres off the coast of Vancouver Island. And as for what's in there ... well, almost everything. That's what happens when you take 133,000 square kilometres of some of the most diverse oceanic ecosystems in the world and stop it from being exploited. Far too often we report on parts of Canada's natural beauty that are vanishing. Today, we'll do the opposite. GUEST: Jimmy Thomson, writing in The Narwhal
