Steven Guilbeault

…In a performance akin to Nero overlooking Rome, even as Jasper burned, environment minister Steven Guilbeault proclaimed the federal government was faultless. Yet, the recent history relating to the forest management of Jasper Park indicates Canada’s zealous environment minister was more than aware of the ill fate of the woodlands… Blacklock’s Reporter reminded Canadians of a 2022 Parks Canada appearance before a parliament committee where the precarious state of Jasper Park was reviewed. The signature on this foreboding Parks Canada report is that of Guilbeault’s. A former planner at the Jasper Park, Peter Scholz, was vocal in his criticism of the park’s fire prevention management… Scholz posted on LinkedIn: “If Jasper Town burns, I blame the bureaucrats of Parks Canada… This is on you. Not doing your job because of ecoactivists, who now will blame climate change rather than take responsibility for their own willful ignorance regarding proper forest management.”
