He’s actually wrong about at least one point. We have many trees in Canada that would never be cut down because they are so far from a significant population.

IDK. If there was no other fuel many things become economically viable. The whole idea is balderdash in any case.

It is scandalous that the press hangs breathlessly on every word of an idiot. It’s a symptom of our debased mainstream culture. Where once we had heroes based on self sacrifice, vision, dedication, ability and accomplishments now we have novelty or shock based stars & athletes (with physical prowess but no intellectual development) being the focus.

ROTFLMAO!! As an American who took a very enjoyable wilderness canoe trip on the Dumoine River in La Verendre Provincial Park in Quebec in about 1975, I fully understand what you're saying. In the US have “wilderness” because people take huge efforts to preserve it. Canada is wilderness for most of its land mass north of 200 miles above the US border because most Canadians just won't or can't live there due to the harsh conditions. One of my most notable memories of that trip is the yellow nylon jacket I wore that became covered with blood stains from all the black fly bites I suffered. We also had a MD from North Carolina who entertained himself by taking close up pictures of female trippers’ faces that had been so distorted by mosquito bites that they looked like they had leprosy.
