Cool but misleading. A high proportion of that big vertical rectangle by the Pacific has been clear-cut. When you fly over it, it's shocking, brutal.

@timbray @terence 😞 😞 😞 I'm saddened to hear that.

My wife asked about the gap in Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba and I explained about the land being the old inland sea and good for farming ... but it really sucks that it's so obviously clearcut

@aurynn

It turns out that the Prairies’ natural state is grassland, trees only found in river valleys and foothills.

A pleasing amount of prairie is being re-wilded. People say the Prairies are boring but that's wrong, they're beautiful.

@timbray I'm an Alberta girl and I do miss the Prairies.

Less miss the bigotry though.
