But, Mr. Ranger Sir...!


Ever think that the on-the-ground administration of the Whiteshell Provincial Park is just a little... well, fascistic? How about unresponsive to the real needs of cottagers? A clutch of khaki bureaucrats playing a fantasy game of Jellystone Ranger?

Have you had one too many conversations with a park administrator whose eyes glaze over when you speak; or who treats you like an idiot for questioning any policy decision he's made, no matter how asinine? Have you ever had the fleeting impression that the people who run the park feel the place is their own little feudal domain, and get off on treating you like a serf?

Really, you too? Then, this blog's for you!

Tell us about it. Leave a comment on anything you see here, and tell us your story. If you've got pictures of the results of Park ineptitude or malfeasance, e-mail it to falconlakevandals@gmail.com, and it'll be posted for other victims to have a look at. Maybe even a few members of the Park Administration will have a look at it---although that won't accomplish much before they've had good honest look in the mirror at themselves.

Maybe we can hold up that mirror to them, and actually change the way things get done in the Whiteshell. Remember, no matter what evidence their actions provide to the contrary, it's your park.
