Default Fireworks and their effect on wildlife, ecosystems and immigrants

The whole article is simply incredible

The last paragraph is the most inaccurate.......”evolves” being the key word

Good grief.

The author would’ve dropped a brick had she been present at the Saskatchewan cultural event I attended this evening. A jet engined golf cart cracked 200 km/hr in 100 yards on full afterburner. I’m currently deaf but certainly enriched.

The CBC Liberal propaganda machine is really earning our tax dollar's on this one. I feel so much better knowing my government is keeping me informed and educated.

Angry New Study Needed

I wonder what my Tannerite does? I know it opens up beaver dams really well. We need a study. Government sponsored and I am sure someone can get a Masters or PhD out of it.

Fireworks have been around for 1400 years since being invented in China. Suddenly we have such high morals that we must keep quiet lest we disturb some poor ducks. Lets just go back to living in caves so we'll need to kill every animal we encounter just to eat and survive. Doesn't seem to matter what humans do nowdays, some bleeding heart has to point out what's wrong with it.
I'm sure some ******* will say fireworks contribute to global warming... like a fart in a hurricane.

It’s like they are writing articles to try and find something that people can be offended by. Journalism at its finest. Great to see our tax dollars at work.

I'm not sure why "evolves" is the key word. I guess I'm not up on this stuff but please explain. Thanks.

She said “as we evolve as a society “..... I tend to disagree that we are evolving.

I think we are “morphing “ into some type of humanoid, void of independent thought, common sense, and weak in social interaction skills. We are devolving into a compliant, dependent, scared life form.

We talk a great game, but are easily offended and emotionally fragile, striving to find the easy buck......zero dedication but expecting positive results.

“Hope” is a garbage word. A weak state of mind. Hope kills. Hope destroys.

ACTION gets things done. Action makes changes.

HOPE? Too weak for me.

Very Walter Mitty-ish.
