B.C. says, no parking

Anybody who has set foot in Waterton Lakes National Park knows how special that little patch of land in Alberta’s southwestern corner is. Turns out,  environmentalists say there’s an equally impressive patch in nearby British Columbia. But that patch – the Flathead River valley – is unprotected and possibly the site of a to-be-constructed coal mine. So environmental groups are petitioning the UN to declare Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park – a UNESCO heritage site that includes both Waterton Lakes and Glacier National Park, in Montana – a heritage site in danger.

You can read the full story here. Oh, and I wrote it. I would have liked to speak to someone from the British Columbia government. Indeed, I would still like to. But my phone records will show plenty of outgoing calls to various government offices and no incoming calls.
