How BC and Saskatchewan are Different

This piece of deconstructionist wisdom comes to us courtesy of Kathy Smith, Lili's mum. Just try and guess where she lives.


Premier of B.C. Christy Clark is jogging with
her dog along a nature trail...
A coyote jumps out, attacks and kills the dog...

#1. The Premier starts to intervene,
reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes
he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural...

#2. She calls animal control...
Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for
diseases and $500 to relocate it...

#3. She calls veterinarian...  Vet collects dead dog and
spends $200 testing it for diseases...

#4. Premier goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote and on getting
small scratch wound bandaged...

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while
wildlife services conducts a $100,000 survey to
make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals...

#6. Premier spends $50,000 of Provincial funds implementing a
"coyote awareness" program for residents of the area...

#7. B.C. Legislature spends $2 million investigating
how to better handle rabies and how to possibly
eradicate the disease...

#8. Premier's security agent is fired for not stopping
 the attack and for letting the Premier intervene...

#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent...

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation
and files suit against the Province...

BC Premier Christy Clark holds the leather-bound Auditor General's report on her extra-human/human confrontation. Chapters in Vancouver report 60,000 units sold

Saskatchewan:

Premier Brad Wall of Saskatchewan is jogging with
his dog along a nature trail...  A coyote jumps out and attacks the dog...

#1. Premier shoots coyote and keeps jogging...

#2. Cost: Premier has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow-point cartridge...

#3. Crows eat dead coyote...

Saskatchewan Premier demonstrates to the legislature how he and the well-armed coyote got the drop on each other. He then blamed everything on Saskatchewan teachers.


Disclaimer of sorts: this piece was originally circulated when Gordon Campbell was Premier of BC.  Christy Clark would be much more likely to order the round-up and extermination of the all coyotes, especially if the oil companies would benefit from it.
