[pct-l] Canadian bears

[walt Durling]

Ha!  Just to set the record straight.  I have the greatest respect for Canadians, having spent many vacations there, and hiking in many provincial parks, including several times in Algonquin. And yes, I can personally attest that a great many households in that fair country have electricity and running water.  They even have idiot politicians just like the US; Ron Ford comes to mind.  And they have lots of bears!  walt
