Your link doesn't go anywhere.

Fits right into this argument then.

On the Internet these days I can never be entirely sure a rando is even a real person.

Seems like a real person.  She lives in the U.K.  Isn't illegal to post stuff like that there?

Telling that Raz ignores the war crime but instead posts about his interaction with a rando on facebook, of all places.

So you are really going to defend this?  Of course you are...  She's your ally after all.

Yes, I'd say it sounds like rewilding is the best option there.

That won't happen. Oil and gas companies are operating on it.

So farmers can work around oil companies but.... Whatever wildlife looks like there can't?
(serious question.)

If people are walking around and using the land what would rewilding even mean? Besides how would I even do that? It would probably involve careful stewardship and expertise. Why do you think that is a sensible option?

true, rewilding a farm field is actually a lot of maintenance. We've modified the  surrounding land so much that a little island of wild doesn't work on its own, unlike many imagine. You have to mow/hay the field or else weeds and grasses take over and smoother out the flowering plants. And you have to remove the cuttings (low quality hay in effect, that no one wants) or else you over fertilize the feild and promote the growth of those fast growing grasses. You can't just leave the feild fallow.

On an individual level I will tend to feel a bit betrayed, but on a systemic level I think it's an important part of the parliamentary system - allowing feedback and response in between elections.

It's one thing when it's a response to changing political conditions. I would begrudge less Steven Guilbault for, say, crossing over to the NDP right now - even if we were to imagine the NDP being in a much better political position than it currently is.

It's somewhat of another, I think, in this case. Ma wasn't elected ten years ago. He signed up with the Conservatives only a few months ago. Pierre Poilièvre's character was well-known. You had to know who you were dealing with.
