So why are none of us Hunters talking about the 30 x 30 Intiative?

When the micro is all-consuming or at least fills all the senses, it is certainly easy to lose track of the macro if one wishes to.

Many people have gone into the wilderness for exactly that purpose, but gone are the days when people could head into the wilderness and disappear, not to be found for decades, like the Old Believers who moved into the wilds of Siberia to escape the Communist regime and were not discovered until the 1950s.

Breaks from reality are nice, but it's still there when we come back.

Yea, it’s a damned good reality, gotta go see how most of the world lives. Respectfully, I believe your interpretation is backwards. Out there, and your family and friends is the reality. On here this is the noise; the meaningless political debate over pronouns, the internet, the tv, the conspiracy crap.

People sit around bemoaning the state of a place of unparalleled opportunity and security in the world while reality trucks on. And what on earth all this has to do with rallying against the first major global initiative to get everyone on board protecting rapidly dwindling habitat, I don’t know.

We do agree #### is getting crazier.
 
A future without wilderness, or at least when what’s left becomes inaccessible to the vast majority, and what’s left becomes more and more marginal. Part of the problem is few spend significant time in wilderness anymore anyhow, hunting’s becoming black bears on logging roads, or deer in cut blocks for many.

Everyone should do a month straight afield regularly, all the conspiracy garbage becomes meaningless, and real life happens.

You do realize that wilderness already is inaccessible for the vast majority of Canadians right? And suggesting a month afield regularly is also just as out of reach. But hey, let them eat cake! For the average Canadian struggling to pay bills and put food on the table your suggestions are completely disconnected from “real life”
 
preaching to the choir, do a month a year field work min and camp hunt and fish multiple trips every season, a lot of our country lives similar, a lot of Alberta for sure, silly derail

just going to keep ignoring the govt. lied to you for 3 years straight, and worse than that, violated every single section of nuremberg code knowingly, and yet you gobble up the next piece of 'crisis' they throw at you and run with it? powerful stuff the psychological grip on you guys, unable to look back and question not just the last 3 years of in your face, in your arm, lock you down lies but the decades and decades of the same thing over and over lies?

the elephant in the room has become an elephant in the room

carry on in the ditch boys, we agree for the love the environment and the animals that we must be stewards but you're failing to see 30x30 has nothing to do with doing the right thing for anyone but the liars pushing us into a smaller cage

and the division among us in this thread is manufactured, we are on the same team with same values, we have a govt. crisis, please be responsible and look back and start asking what the fack was that, about the last 3 years, about the last few decades of crisis cycled on repeat full-time, who did it, why did they do it, why do we keep going along with it?

don't just grab onto the next piece of sh1t they throw at the wall and run with it because you don't know how to do anything else, the microphone is broken, irreparably, it's never been more obvious the true crisis we face, so be responsible and start looking back or we are doomed going forward

need to fix our house first before we can do the correct work for environment and the wildlife, to which everyone is still ignoring how much we've already done, protected etc., stop acting like 30x30 is the only initiative we've ever done lol, in Alberta alone the amount of protected areas and parks would fill a list to shut this argument point down in a second

30x30 is not for the wildlife and environment, the liars behind the last 3 years are behind it, time to connect the dots, you don't keep trusting liars unless you're manipulated, get informed, learn how break that spell

There are some bizarre concepts and warped views about Canada being floated here. Wilderness is more accessible here than anywhere due to our country’s size and lack of population. Canada without debate is amongst the most abundant places in the world for wilderness, as it is for opportunity. If you feel it isn’t, we need 30x30 even more than we think.

As for economic prospects, if one can’t make it in Canada, they can’t make it anywhere. Ask any South African, of any colour. Hell even just see how average Americans live in the trailer parks in the disadvantaged south. Let alone how the average citizen of India lives.

There’s this narrative amongst many Canadians of the demographic that frequents gun forums we’re living in soft times and need to harden up, previous generations were tougher and worked harder. I don’t need to explain that irony. We’re in the 0.48% of the most privileged citizens of the world, never forget that.
 
Canada has lots of second class citizens of its own.

I'm sure you've been some places that have more in common standard of living wise with ZA than Vancouver.

I can't help but agree with the comment about spending a month in the bush being put of reach of many. Getting paid to do it is a decent alternative, but many live pay cheque to pay cheque and work multiple menial jobs to support their families, telling them that if they can't thrive here they wouldn't make it elsewhere and that they should take a month long vacation is just ever so slightly out of touch
 
weekly reminder 3, 30x30 initiative is 'to help mitigate climate change'

not sure what y'all have been going off on in the ditch but you keep steering it there

we can't mitigate climate change, you know that right?

why do you keep steering off into the ditch on this topic?

how do 'they say' we're going to mitigate climate change? please answer...

here's what the informed have learned, because we learned to get info from anyone but the mainstream liars but even they have the manuals on this and we read their own plans, it's actually easy to just read the mainstream for what it is and know truth and reality is basically the opposite, just like the last 3 years, but 30x30 is one of the initiatives that will get the people out of the country and into their pods in the 15 minute cities eating bugs and only producing their 2 tons of co2 a year, no more cars, digital id/currency, eat a steak one day and bugs is all you get for the next 3 weeks, one vacation a year perhaps? hope all the travel bugs are ready for no more travel and see the world lol

so keep on steering this as some sort of initiative about the animals and environment...it's not, it's about getting you to believe that if you get down to their 2 tons of co2 emissions per person plan that we can 'help mitigate climate change'....how absolutely absurd, wake up already, quit playing in the ditch, stay on topic

you guys will do anything to avoid confronting reality at this point, find some moral twig to climb and jump all over it...this conversation was over 20 pages ago, doesn't matter what moral twig you find in the ditch to get all jacked up about next, will come back and point out each one, time to move on or tell us how we can help mitigate climate change lol

...maybe it's not clear, but those existing protected areas count towards the 30%. 30x30 is simply building on what has already been done, it's not some "new" initiative. I tried to make this point earlier, but it seems worthy of repeating. Regardless of how this is promoted on the international stage, as far as i can tell here in Canada it is nothing new, just the promotion of more protected areas.

Indeed I’ve been to far more of them than most. The very hardest fly in, remote reserves in Canada are a world apart from the slums in Soweto or even the average in many countries. None in Canada are truly as on their own, as people are there. As always things can be improved, but by god nowhere in Canada is the slums of South Africa, or India, or even South America.

There’s a job in this country for anyone who wants it, we’re seeing record employment. Getting a good one requires doing what the venerated generations did, what we did, and presumably what you’ve done; training then leaving and choosing a profession that pays, until you can be where you want to be. Even then many of the good jobs like yours and mine mean you’re still away more than you’re home. But we can spend a month in the wilderness thanks to it.

That’s not out of touch, that’s making a plan and doing it. Something this stable and affluent country allows us to pursue.

Canada already has lots of protected area, though there should be more. The biggest benefit of 30x30 is it gets everyone else to the table on protecting habitat.

Agreed we could use more, and it even gets all of Canada at the table to do so. Every province and territory, regardless of politics, has agreed to help reach this goal. Not too many issues ascend politics these days, but this one has (except for on this forum, it seems).

This is why people ####-talk Alberta the way they do. You're out of your mind. "Do your own research" "don't keep trusting liars" "get informed". No wonder we keep getting Liberals elected with lunacy like this spewing out of the "right".

But he carries the burden of seeing the future...
 
"You can give a person knowledge but you can't make them think. Some people want to remain fools only because the Truth requires change."

It's sort of like that. You don't wanna change. You'd rather the last 3 years be swept under the carpet and gladly move right into climate crisis narratives and anything else they throw at you so you don't have to change. No looking back eh? Good luck with that. Only goes one direction.

Those who could see the future weren't really clarivoyant, they were just informed, no longer manipulated, that's how they knew every step of the plandemic, it's how they know every step of everything happening now, while some of you here were, and still are, manipulated...not informed. You're not fools as that quote above suggests, it was posted to emphasis the resistance to change because this change is huge once you are no longer manipulated. It could be looked upon as cowardly though not to face things at this point and after all that happened the past 3 years. You need to prepare for 3 months to 1 year of serious emotional and mental trauma and you're simply showing you're not tough enough yet. You'll be of the last to join the party and drug in by your feet kicking and screaming rather than go at this proactively and voluntarily. Keep on being wrong and unable to see what's next. That's your choice. But you're going one way or another, very few places to remain in that place now as the truth crashes down on all sides of you now. Maybe time to pick a new thread though to go do that...this one is all wrapped up and fully exposed about 3x now.

You’re admirably direct, and don’t sidestep it for civility as I’ve been attempting.

holy gaslight, do you know what even is? so many people just did that for 3 years straight btw, don't get caught doing the exact same thing again lol

and here's another guy who's hopped in on one leg, you completely missed the part about the fully captured right/left two party divide and in case you haven't noticed on the mainstream propaganda there is no more right or left....just a 'far right' label applied to every single thing that isn't part of the inverted reality narratives, I don't even think they say left or far left anymore....only 'far right', start paying attention lol

and since you missed it in the thread it's already been pointed out that we can't vote ourselves out of an insane two party divide government, the majority of the people aren't like that by the way...it's a manufactured division, most people are pro humanity with empathy and logic decision making abilities applied to all info they are given, when you get nothing but propaganda and lies and division campaign and choices for only one group or another which are opposites you can now instantly tell it's a captured system and we haven't voted for real people or platforms our whole lives, one head of the snake undoes what the other head of the snake does each time they go from one party in power to the other (definition = insane government), and only people keep losing but not those getting all our money, they are both captured, in what sane rational world does Trudeau, a criminal, get the leadership of a nation like this if it's not fully captured? they can manipulate you to vote, they count the votes with the machines, they control who we can vote for....it's 100% captured, the get us to blame each other, this divide between you and I is 100% manufactured, stop falling for it, no real people get into those positions, only their bought and paid for already corrupted puppets that work against humanity and for their personal gains, they advance the same agenda quickly when left is in power and a little slower when the right is in power, but it keeps going the same direction and it's not our direction

you'd have be half asleep at the wheel at this point to not recognize that, your gut(consciousness) just heard that and knew every word was true but your mind likely can't connect to it so you'll just fire back with another right bash lol, just like they tell you to do and tell you who to hate and you just do it and don't know any better, you don't know why, you don't even see the game being run on you, fyi...it's the same idiots that told you there was a pandemic yet not a single person in Canada laid their own two eyes on one, it only lived on screens through 24/7/365 advertising

man, it's painful when guys come in so far behind thinking they're first, taking slings and arrows is part of the process, not all hero's where capes ;)
 
Yeah, "Vote Liberal" is the takeaway I get from blakeyboy's posts too. Lol.

haha, just watch the news, it's hilarious, the tag word is 'far right' and it's applied to everything that isn't part of the inverted reality narratives of the moment, any view point, person, discussion etc. that isn't part of the narrative is vilified and given the stigma of 'far right' and associated with anything bad, it's amazing how easily people played like that when you have control of the microphone, when you watch the news see if they even mention the word 'left' or 'far left' anymore? I can't say I've heard it in a bit but I generally get my comedy fix once a week by turning on the morning news and blast of news radio, it's all the same story regardless of network or week, another clue people seem to miss very easily, no discussions...here's what you're supposed to think say and do and anything or anyone else with a differing viewpoint is the enemy ....lol, far right, gosh people...wake up quick, the game has never been easier to see, you're failing an open book history test badly
 
It’s not me who’s out of my mind. That was a gaslight.

You starting to see how it works yet? The group following the microphone are the ones who’ve had their minds stolen and claim that very thing on those who were right every step of the last 3 years. Come on...after all this you’re not getting it?
 
Blakeyboy you remind me of a schizophrenic who used to hang out at the U of C train station talking about how Bronconnier and Ed Stelmach were secret transsexuals he had met in juvenile hall. Any relation?

Lady's (as if loons like this havent driven them all off) and gentlemen; this guy owns guns...
 
blakeyboy i do not know what is your background or your life experience but if you cant enjoy canada you need to get some reality check to your life ...
i made the choice 17 years and never regretted once and it was not easy everyday of course, but i can still read here that many do not like immigrants and still impress me as most are coming from immigrant histories ...

life is not easy but you can make easier to enjoy and i will add where i live it is still 90% wilderness but you still need to work out your butt to be not around people if you enjoy to be alone ...

Conor_90 ardent doesnt need me for defend his positions but i still agree with him that for the ones willing to make the effort it is still accessible but for that you need to make the effort. when we arrived we had no job no home like any immigrants but we worked like most of the people and a frugal life can help you but i wont be there to explain what people needs to do to achieve what they want ... for sure maybe not for a month but still lol
