I just learned that the reason that we (here in B. C.) are short of 
manpower to address these fires is that a Workers Compaensation ruling 
requires that anyone fighting a forest fire must possess cirtification 
by the Forestry. I've heard of all kinds of stupidity but this takes the 
cake. I think its time for a class action suit against WCB. I can not 
believe that a private organization none of which are elected officials 
can pass laws. I thought that within the british-north amercan act 
states that only elected officials can pass laws here. Dang I better 
drop this.
