Rob, your work around "answer" reminds me of the Federal question period.
The point in providing this link lay with the comment I included.
Bianchet was full out stating that his proposal for reduced hunting in Alberta would solve his "scientifically proven" problem,
all the while claiming that his solution for Alberta was actually a "scientifically proven" problem in B.C and thus proposed even further hunting restrictions.
There is no need to open the door to a con artist.
It is much better to keep them out.
But now that someone has let him in, you have to deal with getting him out.
Thus you are now asking for people to step up, use their time and resources to help.
A much harder task than just not letting the con in.
Again, who invited BIanchet to speak?
Please don't waste more time explaining why, I didn't ask why.
OK, let me re-phrase. I don't know who picked him because I don't think it's one individual who picks these speakers. There are multiple people involved in putting the webinar series together and there has been turnover among that team. Question back at you, since I'm detecting an implication: are you saying that picking Festa-Bianchet to speak means that there is some single individual or group of individuals at BCWF who are fans of compassionate conservation?
Does that also go for Wild Sheep Foundation? They let him speak as well.
I'm still reading the paper. If that paper states that "full out stating that his proposal for reduced hunting in Alberta would solve his "scientifically proven" problem,
all the while claiming that his solution for Alberta was actually a "scientifically proven" problem in B.C and thus proposed even further hunting restrictions" I'll look for it. I might need your help on it because I'm not 100% clear what you're saying aside from the part where you think he's sucking and blowing at the same time.
