We have told the Grizzlies down here in the States not to get drunk but you know how males are! BNSF did mention in the article that they clean up the area as "pristine" as before the derailment. This is a big change from a few years ago when the bears got hit by trains. I think the Grizzlies are putting rocks on the tracks to derail the the trains. My son and I had a great time visiting Canada (Alberta) last summer. We wanted to hike to the top of the mountain in Banff that has the gondola ride up it but a Griz was on the trail and a Park Ranger would not allow anyone up it. My son was happy to not have to hike up the mountain.(secretly, so was I!) We took the gondola up instead. By the way, in case you haven't heard it lately, we love our neighbors to the North! God Bless Canada and our allies Great Britain too. We couldn't have better friends and neighbors!
