I wasn't going to chime in this conversation as it probably would serve no purpose.  However, wondering if anyone other than me have seen the wide trails cut through some of the portages in the park to accommodate a certain person's snowmobiles?  If this would happen in Q or BWCA there would be hell to pay.   I see this whole thing as the Ontario Parks folks wanting to manage their park rather than a commercial interest. Safe travels.........

Well, we DO know he likes his chain saw.  One of the things he "explained a lot" about in his rant video was the fact he has cut 100 (?) kilometers of portage paths in WCPP.

"Rant" may be a bit of an exaggeration.  I actually find Harlan's rants to be pretty slick, well-thought-out position statements... albeit "unbalanced" ones.  That's NOT to say HE is unbalanced.  Rather, he appears to be a man of strong convictions.  He does a good job of pointing out facts that work for him.  Unfortunately, he remains rather silent about those which do not.  Frankly, I fancy he's a rather good "debater."  He is certainly skilled in homespun, "aw-shucks", back woods (small pun intended) marketing .  Reminds me a little of the Andy Griffith character in the classic movie, "A Face in the Crowd."

He was a go-getter, that's for sure.  I suspect he breaks quite a few eggs to make his omelets.  I'm not sure all the eggs were his to break, however.

Oh, well... I'll miss him.  He was a real character!
