Glad to hear it, where you lay blame has logic. To others the solution appears to be ban drive thru's and paper cups.

Blaming Tim Horton and his drive thru's for the litter in the ditches makes as much sense as blaming Opra's cuttlery drawer for her weight...

again oh the hypocrisy. Banff and Jasper allow no drive thru's for whatever reason yet hotels, restuarants, gift shops, roads, golf courses, tour busses, etc right in the prime wildlife corridor.... Easy to stomp out the small pointless things and turn a blind eye to the biggest culprits. Oh ya I forgot you cannot use a lead split shot in the Parks either...

Makes a huge difference with what?

I agree. However I think most that litter are smokers, seems to go hand in hand.

I wonder how many of you that are crying about Tims litter causing havoc to the environment live in a home with more than one john per person and house over 2000 s/f, have a rec property, live in the berbs and drive to work every day, and own multiple household vehicles? But I guess it is all OK because you use a refillable "go" cup? Sorry but if suddenly all paper go cups were outlawed throughout the world it would not ammount to a hill of beans difference with anything. All the yuppie Moms in my neighborhood hanging at Starbucks sipping latte's out of reusable mugs with thier hybrid Escalades and Tahoe's in the parking lot really do think that they are making a difference. Oh the hypocrisy.... And there may have just been a little bit of satire in my first post, just a bit..

Ya paying more for a coffee should solve the litter problem... heh- love the logic on that one! I am glad not too many people have jumped on the PC bandwagon with their own mug. Just imagine how much longer the drive thru line at timmies would be if they had to wait for the customer at the window to fill their refillable mug? All those cars idling longer puking exhaust would surely be worse for the environment than a few cups in the ditch. The garbage gives the inmate work programs and the 4H something to pick up in the spring. This is a self esteem builder for both groups. Cups in the ditch are a win win the way I see it.

I volunteer for a couple weeks every season on the Research Vessel Yushin Maru. Here I am on the water cannon; Big celebration leaving port;

Good for you guys getting out in the winter!

Now thats a good one!

I am quite aware of different leases. Grazing leases, Leases through the Ag Disposition act, mining leases, etc... Each have their own conditions of access, they would want you to think they can keep you off all of them, but not so. The lease that encompasses the Fortress area has its own verbage to stop you from trespassing in the immediate buildings area, but the road as an example they cannot stop you from walking up. Same as the leases in the forestry when the Oil companies punch a road in. They put up a fence and a sign that says "no trespassing, private property" It is total BS you can still acess the area for fishing and hunting, but the leaseholder wants you to think you cannot because of the misleading sign they post.

You should have told them to piss off! It is a LEASE in a provincial park and they cannot keep you from accessing your land!

Most of you lightweights could not handle it.

Anyone have any good tofu recipes?

Looks like you should have posted a pic of yourself catching a sucker fish out of some local slough, maybe that would have made the penut gallery OK with your entry? I voted for you a few times, good luck!

How are you certain that you have H1N1? Did you go to one of those assessment clinics? Sounds like you are faring OK, good to hear.

Flimsy. Same could be said about low income people well under 65.

If all else fails pony up and wear a pair of simms under the streamsides. Problem solved.

Laughing to themselves they definately are..

I would think that the Wild Rose alliance couldn't have dreampt for a better outcome. Ignorance is bliss..... Full story here

Wolf man- I think out of anyone here you should know that interweb chat boards have to be taken with a grain of salt, ya know what I mean M8?

Ding Ding Ding.... we have a winner! You have figured this place out in only 15 posts.

Save a tree.. Wipe your ass with a spotted owl.

I don't quite understand your point wolf man? All of a sudden at 65 years you have paid enough so you should get a free license? I pay a whack of taxes, I woud say more than my 90 year old father in his life, so should I get a free license? I love the sense of entitlement, it seems to be the canadian way....

Peter, It is for real. They are also installing environmentally friendly outhouses on all the islands along the Bow River.
