    The cruise tourists benefit my life in no way. They come off the ship and buy a stupid shirt that says Canada on it from one of the Chinese owned gift shops then they go back onto the boat and dump sewage into my ocean.

    Can’t even go to tofino anymore as a local who literally subsidizes all that infrastructure with my tax dollars. Have to compete with the rest of the planet for campsites and can’t even enjoy my own backyard anymore

    Don’t even get me started on the amount of literal human shit littered across the island at the end of summer

    Nah fuck the tourists, nasty animals

    In prince george they did this like 3 years ago. Gave a huge chunk of forest back to natives. They clearcut it that summer. You can easily see the scar on satellite view. Under capitalism, all humans will exploit nature if they have the technology to do so and race means nothing.

    As someone with a similar goal that I actually think I will achieve, that land will hopefully never leave my family and be protected forever. We already own two huge chunks of land on the eastern slopes of the rockies which used to be cleared for cattle and is currently regrowing.
