Canada urged on endangered species TORONTO (AP) - Canada's failure to pass an endangered species law prompted an appeal Tuesday by American environmental groups for U.S. trade sanctions against Canada. The U.S. groups said sanctions would be justified because most of the 285 species at risk in Canada, including the grizzly bear, woodland caribou and whooping crane, travel between the two countries. Though the likelihood of sanctions is considered small, Canadian environmental organizations, which have been battling for years to get an endangered species law passed, welcomed the lobbying effort. The Canadian government is publicly committed to adopting such a law, but a measure introduced in 1996 died in Parliament without reaching a final vote.
