Oh, Canada: What's More Rare In British Columbia? Full-Time Park Rangers Or Bigfoot?

By -

Question: How many full-time park rangers do you think there are to serve the 1000 parks and protected areas - more than 32 million acres of land?

Anyone?

Answer: Only 10

In British Columbia, deep government cuts have made it difficult to maintain provincial park services and facilities. The number of full-time-equivalent seasonal park rangers positions have gone from 27 in 2001 to just 10 today.

What's so bad, you ask? Well, for one thing, beautiful infrastructures are decaying, due to the cuts. Also, the lack of patrols are resulting in vandalism and theft from BC parks. And worst of all, the risk of wildfires are now even higher without adequate rangers on patrol. It's so bad in BC that some parks areas have no budget for toilet paper!

Thanks Paul for sending this in.

    Its a well know fact that you should take your own TP to a Canadian park.

    I live in British Columbia and I frequently visit National Parks. Never once have I seen a park ranger (full or part time).

    That's another reason I don't live in B.C. They suck the fun out of everything. I was born and raised on the Island, lived in the Kootenays and the Okanagan. I love the place, just not the government.
    Most places in B.C. rely on tourism dollars so it doesn't make sense to cut jobs in this sector.
    In Alberta I regularly see Park Rangers. They're a friendly and helpful group of folks.

    Since -- by many accounts -- Sasquatch seems to have magical properties, why don't they just conjure Canadian currency from rocks?

    Problem solved!

    Canada is and always will be our red headed step child. Sure, we let them act like they're independent of us, but they know the truth. Guess who's going to have to pick up the pieces when they finally bring their economy to total destruction, yep, you guessed it.

      You guys can't even manage your own economy, so I don't know how you think you will help..........unless you meant make ours worse?

      Anon 6:28- Our economy is far better off than it is in the U.S.
      People keep blaming Obama, and granted he has much to with the current slump in America.
      Dubya was the one who sank you. He's the red headed step child who should have never been president. But he was....twice.
      Now if that doesn't make me laugh.
      I don't wish to pick on Americans because I have many good and decent friends there. It's comments like the ones made by the poorly educated anon at 6:28 that show how uneducated some people can be.
      Why don't you guys drill your own oil or cut your own timber instead of buying here then.
      Since this is a Bigfoot blog, I'll stop my rant here.
      There really should be a law for being stupid.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
