The Blog

Through this blog I'll be looking at one of the biggest issues in Canadian Tourism today.  All throughout the country our government is selling of "public" lands and resources to huge corporations.  Many of these corporations are not even Canadian.  We are slowly losing our wild lands to forestry, hydro, mining and oil/gas extraction.  Canada is known for its images of mountains, lakes, forests and rivers, but we are quickly selling these off as natural resources.  The governments tendency to only look at the economic bottom line is missing the big picture, the need to conserve what makes our country what it is.

Tourism is a viable alternative to industry.  The more people we can bring to an area will stimulate the economy, and give much needed exposure to the post card images being sold off to corporations.  If more people come to visit and see our beautiful country we will be able to keep it wild forever.  The environment is an important aspect of our lives, and should be kept pristine for generations to come!
