Alberta’s new Environment Minister says the province needs to give more weight to people who use the backcountry for recreation when it makes park and conservation decisions, pointing to the defunct plan to create the Bighorn wildland park an an example where the previous government failed to strike that balance.
“With Bighorn specifically, a lot of people depend on that area for recreation. We want people to be able to enjoy that resource. We have to be able to do it in an environmentally friendly way and find that balance.” They pointed to restrictions that limited motorized recreation in other parks, notably the Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park in southwest Alberta, which were created in 2017.
“We want to work with the clubs and the organizations out there to make sure it's taking place in the right spot, to maintain trails, to put bridges over environmentally sensitive areas, as well as to invest in enforcement.” “We have never advocated removing recreation from an area, we know these places are very important for people,” she said. “But those can’t supersede the real limits and the real capacity that our natural systems have.”

Jason Kenney invites Alberta senators to lunch to discuss ‘grave concerns’ over energy reformsSenators are now contemplating hundreds of proposed amendments to Bill C-69, which would overhaul the review process of major energy projects I told Liberal Senator Grant Mitchell that I would lobby to have him stripped of his Alberta citizenship if he votes for C-69 or C-48. Canadians would like to know who the actual authors of these Bills are, no one wants to take responsibility for them or else is in hiding, we have our suspicions, but this is no way to run a country. Shame some Senators feel obligated to be mouth pieces for the regressive conservatives.

NP View: Ottawa’s attack on Alberta has, for now at least, been thwartedA few weeks ago we noted that new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney had his work cut out for him. That’s still true, but some help might be on the way Fair and balanced as usual NatPo. Kennedy’s out picking fights and giving out nice tax breaks to corporations like a good little conservative. Does complete 180° on a good path to growth to go marching backward to the past. Conservatives don’t seem to understand oil is on the way out. 6-6 tie and defeasted. Hardly an overwhelming win for Kenney, but a nudge for the govt to make it better. Next time.
