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


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!

  5. 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.

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

    Problem solved!

  13. 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.

    1. 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?

    2. 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.
