Taco

Been to 2 or 3 of those, missed this one because I was out of the province workin' but I suspect I didn't miss much. The same faces preaching the same slightly updated information, a third of the room skeptical as all hell and half the rest practicin' to become Lorne Fitch/ Sid Marty disciples. Or did Van Tighem show up this yr?

I quit supporting one party or another 3 elections ago. Too much of any one political philosophy is not desirable for a Province or a Country

Well Monger there is something to be said about having a grown out stocker waving at you from 4 ft in the air and leaving immediately after you feel and hear your backing knot go rat-a-tat-tat through your guides.

WTH?? Why won't it embed?

I have a smallish Pelican, butt ugly as coolers go and heavier than hell ... I'm happy with it. Think I paid one fifty at Costco

But there is no doubt that the rocky mountain whitefish runs are greatly reduced from what they were historically.The whitefish spawning run is just a faction of what it was in the 60's and 70's. Fractured habitat would be my guess.

I like slingin' sz 6 orange stimmies

While crossbreeding with other fish remains the biggest risk to Montana’s westslope cutthroat trout, new DNA testing shows the populations may be tougher than expected. http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/study-finds-montana-cutthroat-trout-holding-own-against-rainbows/article_280fb1fe-5e29-5e85-a249-5710e44d7cb4.html

WTF Weedy? You one of those redneck refugees from the peckerwood board??

I have a aversion to anything over 15 people but it was well worth the 3 hrs I sent there Saturday

For those of you who are interested but couldn't make the journey, like me, here's an audio link of yesterdays session and question period' http://www.sacpa.ca/index.php?p=38&action=view_session&ID=1163

I went with a pair of Ray Ban Outdoorsman and had my optometrist to put in the correct tinted prescription lenses, works for me

Well 80 plus yrs of same old same old government does induce complacency on everyone's part but we now seem to have a government that doesn't mind *hit disturbin'. Don't know if they're gonna last 4 or 8 yrs but for damn sure we won't be goin back to the old way of doin' things for some time.

Jesus that`s spookier than a sow grizzly with 3 cubs

Well then once you force the cleanup of the Grassy mine site then you can start working on the strip mine on Racehorse that closed in the 70`s, That one not as bad but god knows what was buried when they remediated that one to standards of the time.. There`s also an abandoned galena mine on the Alberta side of Mt Gass. I think they walked away from that one in the mid-late 40`s.

??

And whose job is it to insure appropriate oversight is in place? I believe they did some talkin' last May 5th.

My original question still stands; What is worse? A functioning mine with modern environmental cleanups, corrections and oversights in place or an abandoned 50 yr mountain top coalmine dumping god knows what into the watershed?

And don't expect the old SOB not to fire in return... Oversight is what organizations like TUC and Riverkeepers were created for, shouldn't have to been all industry and/or government.

Old abandoned mines ha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Gold_King_Mine_waste_water_spill

Yeah I know cube, we all can make a living in eco-tourism, I hope Notley gets the minimum wage bumped up pdq

Devils advocate here... what is worse? A functioning mine with modern environmental cleanups, corrections and oversights in place or an abandoned 50 yr mountain top coalmine dumping god knows what into the watershed?

'K thanks

What do you suggest we do in the absence of fire in a forest whose ecology has evolved around a 40-50 burn cycle ??
