Only a Canadian can truly appreciate this!
A woman from Vancouver, who was a tree hugger and anti-hunter,
purchased acres of timberland near Lake Cowichan, Vancouver Island .
There was a huge tree on one of the highest points in the tract. She
wanted to view the natural splendor of her land, so she climbed the
tree. As she neared the top, she encountered an endangered spotted owl.
It attacked her! In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree
to the ground.
The ensuing fall incurred several splinters of wood in her crotch. In
considerable pain, she hurried to the nearest doctor, 35 minutes away in
Duncan . She told him she was an environmentalist and anti-hunter and
how she came to receive all of the splinters. The doctor listened to
her story with great patience.. He then told her to go into the
examining room and he would see if he could help. The impatient patient
sat, and sat, and waited for three hours before the doctor reappeared.
The angry woman demanded, 'What took you so long?'
He smiled and said, 'Well, I had to get permits from Environment
Canada , BC Forest Service and Worksafe BC before I could remove
old-growth timber from a recreational area.
OH CANADA !
