Ok, this has not happened for 20 years, and last time it was Americans who thought they owned Canada so I guess it was all an expected challenge but... inconsequent of that I don't watch beer or drink hockey (yes, I know I said that), I do recognize a couple of Canadian sovereignty issues. When a couple of unexpected (but completely identifiable) campers rolled in last night, wanting to do a hike into a lake via the river, that I advised they would have difficulty getting out of without a helicopter (no gov dock, completely surrounded by private land).
They (yes, plural male, not 1 or more persons of indiscriminate gender) challenged my information because they had lots of maps off the internet. I live for people challenging the information I am expected to disseminate for free...
So I rented them a site.
Next day, getting into their canoe, campfire obviously smoking on the site. I sidles up and says " if I had a favourite piece of crown land I would not tell you about it. You'd likely start a forest fire.
Person(s) stated they had put the fire out. I stated it was obvious it was not out. Had they left a crown site (with no MOM) what would have happened? Took me back to my school teaching days, when the student stated he had done the work (and learned) but obviously had not.
I INSISTED they (plural) put the fire out because I care and I don't want there to be a chance of ANOTHER FOREST FIRE near my place by someone too smart to pay for a campsite but too dumb to know how to camp.
It's time for me to go. I cannot stand the wave of stupid facing me.
The crown land issue here is provincial, just in case anyone wanted to catch me up. Beer and hockey are not provincial, so the joke doesn't wash...
