In my opinion with the reduction of interest rates, the most concerning thing is that the Conservatives have replaced the "economic engine" of Alberta by putting the burden of keeping the economy moving on the backs of individual Canadians, already a Trillion dollars deep in Consumer debt.
What better way to keep people enslaved and distracted. Distracted from the REAL issues of this country.
….With so many oil spills, pipeline failures, toxic spills into the water ways and Governments seemingly unwillingness or lack of interest in penalizing these companies with REAL penalties …… makes me wonder if this is Government sanctioned population control?
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!!

Wolf cull will see animals shot from helicopter to save B.C. caribou - British Columbia - CBC News:
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.

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.

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
