It is good to point this out, John.
The voice of the biologist/ecologist has been muted under some new policies
and 'rules'. Perhaps the present government will turn this around. There
were those who spoke out from the safety of retirement; some who had
occupied very high places within the organization. There was a letter
signed by several of them. Additionally, there are these utube videos
(links below). They 'say it all'. I trained as a Park Warden with Kevin
Van Tigum back in 1993 in Jasper; a very gifted man and excellent
naturalist, too. (Back then I was adamant to find during my spare time the
"dipper bird" that I'd seen on a documentary. Kevin took on the task and
hosted an unforgettable western birding experience.)
Those of us who are still in the system have been warned to be careful.
Sending this email is questionable. Maybe things will change now, but
Canadians need to remain vigilant on how THEIR national parks are run, and
speak out when they feel the mandate is being ignored.

That is what needs to be said, and what troubles me is that this has not
been invoked as a reason for stepping back from the project.
If someone in authority doesn't explicitly point out the conflict with the
mandate, it'll happen again.

It was a huge departure from the Parks Canada mandate. I was beginning to
think that we'd completely lost our way... Great news!!

I was obviously to busy reading and writing about eagles to have seen the
naturens dialogue today on this. I have been against this from the get-go
on account of the proposed location plus the size and garishness of the
whole idea. Thanks for everyone's comments.
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

Thanks, Dave, for bringing this up. I have very good news. I heard on the
1 p.m. CBC Radio news that Parks Canada has apparently completed their
review of the proposed project, determined that there were just too many
important questions about it, and that this project will not go ahead on any
Parks Canada land. Hooray!
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

Dear All,
This is a bit removed from Natural History but I have problems with any
veterans' memorial statue being erected while more than 2000 veterans are
homeless in Canada; the triumph of image and hypocrisy over genuine
substance.
Yt, DW
