Yep there’s another thread on it here...spread it like wildfire to everyone you can..however you can. Numbers speak volumes and clubs need support...people need to write letters, send email make call, attend meetings. Good post!

Gotta love our governments. Make criminals out of the average citizen. I will probably still camp, hike, fish and snowmobile. Are they going to stop the indigenous people?

Try to remember that it isn't really about Caribou. They are just a species of convenience. They are using Caribou to advance their agenda.

This is all about the Y2Y movement and building a corridor of Parks and protected areas from Yellowstone to the Yukon. With the two NDP governments in BC and Alberta, the Y2Y group has pounced on them like flies on a dung pile. I've said it before, this is going to be a battle and huge loss of riding area and back-country access taken away.

With the last NDP government in BC, there was a huge track of land in the south eastern corner that was proposed to be non-motorized (from the US border up to the parks in Kananaskis). All driven at the time by Y2Y and WildSight. The only thing that saved it was a change in government. But slowly, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has slowly picked away at purchasing small parcels of land to expedite the Y2Y agenda.

I spent 8 years on land use issues with the Southern Rocky Mountain Management board and it just sickened me with the lies and deceit of government and so called do-gooders. The outdoor enthusiasts couldn't get together as they fought amongst themselves; hunter/outfitters didn't like the motorized, fishermen didn't like the motorized, horseback riders didn't like the motorized, the hikers wanted total quiet and no hunting, the skiers just wanted their ski hills and no motorized nor any hunting, the communities generally wanted the green aspect, and it went on and on. So with the influx of big USA money, the agenda has been pushed and the government is receptive because of blinders and seemingly the right thing to do to get votes.

We have got to change the political flavour in Canada as a whole. Where does it start? With you and I voting, attending meeting, joining clubs, and voicing opinions.
