    I am far from naive. I have ;lived long enough to  know all political parties are the same and also long enough to know one political party does not please all Canadians.

    To try and come up with conspiracy theories to satisfy your political beliefs makes you naive, not me LOL

    The fool is you if you think one is better than the other or that some think tank runs the world LOL

    The fool is you.  Some so-called conspiracy theories have indeed come true.  But, carry on, you do provide a sad sort of amusemnnt.

    Decreasing prosperity is a problem, but Sonia increasing prosperity.  The West always thinks about its wealth disparity, and remembers revolutionary forces.

    The Romans had Bread and Circuses, we have dental care.

    Toronto isn't Rome.  Toronto is the emperor un-clothed.  The rest of Canada snickers and looks away.

    Trudeau has been a decent Prime Minister . . . he got us through covid with fewer fatalities than many western countries, he managed to get a decent result in NAFTA and in the post pandemic economic turmoil, our inflation was lower and shorter than many western countries, including the Mother Country.

    Don't Bogart that joint my friend . . . pass it over to herbie and eyeball.

    Are you implying that addressing excessive fuel loading (with tinder dry wood over the course of many years) is somehow rendered "meaningless" because of climate change?

    Even if climate change wasn't an issue forestry management would be.... and Jasper still would have burned without it. 

    I'll have to leave you to it, the next few days are nice here and i'll be out on the land... 

      

    Retired now,  was a west coast logger for 40+ yrs and have seen policy and land use/stewardship gradually change into the problems we have now.  

    The Jasper firestorm would have happened sooner or  later . . . the carbon tax and Trudeau are a non-starter. 

    Herbie couldn't tell the difference between a hemlock and a ham sandwich . . . dumb as a stump.

  5. Not directly on topic . . . The flagship American national park is Yellowstone, the flagship Canadian national park is probably Banff/Jasper.  Two big parks with roughly the same terrain.  The Americans have a policy of 'let it burn' in their beautiful Yellowstone.  The big fires of the early '90's were left to burn, with the only fire-fight to keep Yellowstone Lodge from burning.  The forest fire is the ultimate end of the forest cycle.  Yellowstone flourished with new growth within a year ... fireweed being the colonizer, pine and spruce following quickly. Beutiful results, vibrant and good for the game animals.

    Canada on the other hand has a policy of lighting their hair on fire if a forest fire starts in their parks.  As a result, the build-up of ground fuel and  dying standing timber is a bomb waiting to happen.  Fire storm, burnt damaged earth, devastation that takes years to 'green-up' again.
