    1. Even here in The People’s Republic of CA … and let me pause, and acknowledge CA is built on the bones and the lands of thousands of Native Tribes, so please accept my apology for “STEALING” those lands … but nevertheless… here in CA … if a group of nutters wants to preserve “open space” on land that is owned and zoned for construction … THEY BUY IT!! Yes, they buy it. Through Land Preservation Trusts and whatnot.

      Dear Native Canadians … have your Tribal Elders BUY THE LAND!! Then you can do anything you want with it. Sorry. White mans rules and laws. And Great Turtle knows … you get enough $cash$ from the white eyes to afford it.

  1. The Canadian Military gets called into British Columbia.
    Sorry boys, it’s sand bag work again.
    2 1/2 mile levy broke, so you know what your job is going to be for some time.

  2. Fort Frances lost their at the time golf course to Couchiching years ago. The land is still mostly a weedy wasteland, but is slowly being redeveloped. As a plus there are now two golf courses, the new Heron Landing one build on different reserve land and Kitchen Creek. The Dairy Queen at the time had to go too….

  3. I said a year ago that you would know the pandemic is over when the blockades started again.

    Happy virus freedom day to all my fellow evil colonists.

  4. There might be something else going on. In Calgary I notice there’s what looks like too cozy a relationship between developers and city council. Redevelopment of the handful of public golf courses has been pushed here as a topic annually. No doubt some of the council have made out like bandits from supporting re-zoning apps and paring out for sale juicy city owned parcels coveted by developers. There’s much that happens below the surface of public awareness in civic gov’t and much of it doesn’t serve the public good. The indigenous interference might only be one of the pieces of the story. Look for the hand grease.

    1. Isn’t this always the end-goal with golf courses. Develop on the edge of town. Let the town develop around you, driving up the value of your land. Then sell to a developer – assuming you aren’t the developer yourself.
