BC governments gutless approach to Caribou populations

So…lets be clear….the BC government’s approach to the issue of the Caribou’s dwindling population is to blame it on the Wolf. There is no backbone to focus on the REAL issue of the Caribou’s constantly decreasing habitat, caused by increasing pressures from Oil and Gas.

I ask: When will all governments "grow a set" and stand up to the big oil and gas companies and start doing what is right and protecting the habitats of all wildlife and not give it all up in the name of $$?

If they don’t…..very soon there will be nothing to “manage”… It is our responsibility to stand up to our governments and let them know that this approach to "Wildlife management" is not acceptable!!

insanity

I look around and watch what people do to each other and it seems to me that we have lost our humanity…..peope are rude, ignorant and really just plain nasty in thier daily interaction with others.

Calgary is a city that is growing at an astounding rate. I heard on the radio a week or so ago that the population is projected to grow by 40,000 to 50,000 people per year over the next 4 years. That puts an additional 200,000 potential new people in a city that is already at 1.2 million in the city proper. This does not include the outlying areas that surround the city, and the cracks are already showing in our civility.

This leads me to believe that the current pressures that are already upon poeple here and I assume the cause of the rudness to others; will only increase.

The only sane thing to do, in my books….is to head for the hills...live off the grid and wait and watch for the meltdown that WILL come.

Resist! Do not comply.

I grew up counterculture. I am essentially a hippie and i am not happy with the current state of our world. 

There ss way too much that is going on in the world around us today and it seems to be justified by some misconstrued Idea of economic growth at any cost.

a Canadian icon is gone....

I am saddened by the passing of Farley Mowat ….Never Cry Wolf was a Milestone in my life and possibly stirred my interest in the outdoors... think I need to re-read it again

Celebrated author Farley Mowat dead at 92

impoverished

when the global economy is based on rapidly dwindling supplies of finite resources.....

wealth is short lived and based on future improvishment...

Something is busted

I look at the world I've made and continue to make. The ideas I find inspiring and the life I wound up leading are nowhere close....

 

I lament that gap and yearn for some deeper connection.... something that will let me feel more alive  yet I don’t do anything about it. 

 

Instead I hustle every day to further a system I know is fundamentally broken. 

 

......What the hell has happened to me?
