The government is starting to push really hard. Even if you are a supporter of the Bighorn parks initiative, you should be aware that the government plans to spend tens of billions to make this happen. ...yes you read that correctly, tens of billions.

There's a poll at the end of this article that I think we should all vote in: https://www.thestar.com/calgary/201...rs-spar-over-fate-of-bighorn-backcountry.html

Done... But i think shannon phillips is pushing this through before the next election!!!

True, but if she succeeds, it will definitely help us down the road if we can demonstrate that this initiative without the support of most Albertans.

Well they are spending 500k on 3 cabins for the new castle park, so safe to say they don’t even try to spend it smart. They give backroom sweetheart deals to whoever is donating to their green initiatives and campaigns, to build completely useless infrastructure.

That is not what they are spending on the park, that is what they are spending to buy out industry that has leases in the area.

Jason Nixon on with Danielle Smith tomorrow at 10:00 am regarding Bighorn land use issues. I think it’s AM770 in Calgary and AM630 in Edmonton. Correct me if I’m wrong.
