A famous quote is being heard across the Kootenays. 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore! I will no longer stand in the shadows and watch as Wildsight continues its campaign of opposition to all things that don't match the left wing, anti-human philosophy of their American puppeteers. Wildsight receives over 70% of its funding from US foundations that are determined to inflict their ideology on the economy of this region and Canada as a whole. Wildsight should come clean about their true political motives and quit this silly charade of bringing a retired hockey celebrity to Cranbrook just so they can gather a crowd for the purpose of selling memberships and growing their influence. Those who choose to attend the Wildsight Earth Day celebrations should ask some very pointed questions of Wildsight. Can anyone remember when the last time was their millions of tax free US dollars were used to help create jobs in the Kootenays? Can they show any significant project they've ever supported that in turn created jobs or helped the economy. Maybe ask them why they received $15,000 last November from Wilburforce; a US foundation? It was granted to Wildsight "To support Wildsight’s efforts to develop a broader audience and more positive support in the communities in which they work in southeast BC". It had nothing to do with species at risk or acquiring valuable habitat; it is being used solely to promote their image and attract celebrities to their cause. When you start to spend grant money on the cosmetic look and feel of your organization you soon lose sight of what you were trying to do in the first place. So on Wildsight funded Earth Day when you are having the wine and cheese at the gala event or chewing on that hotdog in the park, remember who funded it and what the underlying purpose is. With the tax free millions they have received you'd think they could do better for this region and our country as a whole.
ReplyDeleteRight on, Wildsight has lost sight of what they originally started and now they are just money hungry. More people need to ask where the money comes from and what they are using it for. We have enough unemployment in the valley without Wildsight adding to it.
