This is from Google's April Fools hoax this year. Actually, James' prank is quite similar to Google's 2007 and 2009 hoaxes. ------------- |

yeah, Leif, why all the negativity, man? Regardless of what Google does, it took effort and creativity on the part of James to pull this off. AND, he did it just to provide a little amusement for the rest of us. Thanks, James! ------------- sitting all alone on a mountain by a river that has no end |

Well, since aliases aren't allowed, I can't post this under the username "wankor" but ... here it be nonetheless: LEDCOR (Lying Edacious Destroyers of Clean Overrated Resources) would like to welcome you to WANKOR! It is our sincere hope that this community will foster discussion and understanding between the White and Native boating public and our own LEDCOR mission of resource extraction and access improvement. We make a firm commitment to both support public access to our spillways and give a voice to the majority of boaters who enjoy and approve of our improvements to natural resources that had been left in states of tragic neglect. We know you are all eager to see our newly redesigned streambeds in British Columbia, and it is our sincere hope that recent mining and hydro development will be as beneficial to your enjoyment of our natural resource treasures as they have been to our corporate account balances. It is in the interest of this profit sharing co-opting of a grass roots community that we have dedicated not only the resources to purchase and rebrand this little haven of leftist environmental thinking, but also the resources to create and staff a new organization: Canadian Greywater. Patterned after the eco-terrorist front "American Whitewater" CG will be a grass-roots not-for-non-profit organization dedicated to securing public access and approval for myriad projects that harness the energy potential of "whitewater" streams and ensures only post-industrial grey water streams are available for recreational boaters. It is our hope this forum may one day lead to an American chapter that can help ensure all free flowing streams in the US, as well as Canada, are not allowed to be wasted flowing freely to the ocean or supporting any forms of life whose protection might prevent proper profit extraction. We welcome you to this profiteering haven and hope you enjoy success not only in your recreational industrial kayaking, but in all your ecologically destructive projects taking place without public oversight or approval. Thanks for joining our little corporation, and remember: If they can't find the money, they can't tax it! (we'll be open a new forum on tax evasion and oversight avoidance shortly.) SYOTR!

Does this mean instead of bringing firewood on overnight trips we can just pour crude oil or deisel fuel into the river when we launch and just let it float down with us to our camp to light at our convenience?

That would be awesome! Ledcor Wankor sez: Great question Joe! We are glad to see such destruction-oriented conveniences will be valued by the White and Native boating community. Our board is currently finalizing plans to allow for a free 25,000 litre petroleum distillation waste product allotment per member of Candian Graywater. If you choose to spend the night on any of our improved greywater industrial rivers, arrangements can be made to spill the flammable toxins from the power generating station above your run. Just let us know the preferred distillate product of your choice, and about what time you expect to be done illegally harvesting resources from the canyon around your campsite, and we will provide AccuFirestarter flows right to your camp. We do recommend picking up a Wankor Condom (Control of non-death optimizing membrane) hazmat drysuit to protect you from fumes and other topical toxins that may improve combustion of the river surface, but can cause some irritation and swelling in PETA members we've used for testing. We are excited to offer this service free to Candian Graywater members, as it not only allows for efficient recycling of industrial waste, but also ensures that wood products can be used on more profit generating ventures than simple fire building. We look forward to welcoming you to our fledging not-for-non-profit organization Joe. Keep up the good work! And if you get any video of burning rivers, be sure to enter it into our annual EcoDestruction Film Festival! You may be eligible to win a full-medical-expenses-paid kayaking trip through some of the gnarliest class IV and V sewer systems in North America, designed by Ledcor to not only dispose of human effluent, but to also handle unmonitored industrial waste dumping! ------------- |

Why don't you take your aggression out on the people who approved the project; the members of the Liberal party of Canada and the Squamish First Nations? Ledcor is a construction company. What the hell do you expect them to do? ------------- |

What the hell do you expect them to do? I expect them to continue to execute, to the full extent of the law and well beyond any limits dictated by moral decency or ecological balance, the current prime motivator for all of man's enterprise: dominion over all the earth, as is our "divine right." We have a (now global) system that rewards the most brutal and ruthless extraction of profit from any given system. It's hard to see how any more sane or responsible policy can be given primacy when we have 6 billion people in the world and a population that will at least triple in our lifetimes. Growth for the sake of growth, as Abbey says, is the ideology of the cancer cell. Ledcor and their behavior is simply one symptom of overpopulation and greed. They are not the root problem. And in any case, it's hard, as an American citizen, to gain meaningful entre to the Canadian political system. I've written what letters I could and supported the organizations who have fought the unregulated micro hydro development in BC, but really we can't do much. After all, California needs more electricity. Who would want to do away with Los Angeles? ------------- |

The funniest part of James' WANKOR organization is the "native" piece -- a tip o' the hat to the first nations complicity in destructive resource extraction in BC. From what I can tell, they have strongly supported Ledcor and micro hydro development. When we were getting screened by Ledcor on the Ashlu road, it was by First Nations tribal members, not some white construction worker or suit. ------------- |

Interesting that you have injected partisan identity into what is meant to be a tongue-in-cheek rant. I didn't attack or claim allegiance to any ideology.
I don't think there is a great difference amongst our domestic political parties. Corporations are the halls of power today, and our government, in all it's forms, supports their profiteering. And really, with such rampant overpopulation, I'm not sure there's much to be done, except wait for the earth to restore balance. Except speak the truth as you see it, and try to keep a sense of humor in the face of so much destruction. I'm very happy for you Leif that you are a proud Republican. I'd say it fits you very well. ------------- |

Jed, I'm not worked up a'tall, just trying to play along with James' joke. I thought it was funny and not lame at all.
Ain't no one forcing anyone to read this drivel ... it's your right to ignore it. And I don't think it is whitewater, I think it's the internet. After all, as the homepage says: WANCOR will open the doors to folks all around the globe that are either white or native and interested in kayaking online. Well, I'm white, and this is online kayaking, ain't it? Scouting advised. Feel free to portage this thread. ------------- |

My concern stems from the idea that this is supposed to be an online paddling community resource for hooking up with other paddlers, getting beta and asking questions. And more and more these days I see these forums being used as a means to argue and be spiteful. And yes I agree that this is the internet, but there are plenty of sites that these sorts of conversations could be had, and additionally what happened to sitting down at dinner or over a beer and having these conversations. I'm not arguing the validity of the argument just the place. And as far as "portaging" this thread I'm afraid that it will cause individuals whom might be good additions to the professorpaddle community might "portage" because of all the other silly stuff that gets thrown around in the forum. If you want to argue politics, morality, philosophy, whatever it is that we would like to talk about, get a blog or Facebook or even a phone call, something like that. I hate that I'm even contributing the rhetoric, but I feel that silence wouldn't solve anything. If as much energy was put into river descriptions, beta pages, and the like, as is petty arguments, this site would dwarf all other online resources. And if anyone would like to chat about my idea, you know how to get a hold of me. ------------- The line will become apparent 978-273-7723 |

And if anyone would like to chat about my idea, you know how to get a hold of me. Jed, I can respect that, though I disagree. For the most part, the writing is on the wall with this forum, and it is what it is. It's irreverent and not particularly on topic. I don't think it's even as bad as boatertalk, and I know most of the folks I engage with here outside the forum. I think the majority of my posts are on topic, and when I have something constructive to add, I try to do so. For the most part, I've tried to stay out of the sh*t talking fray, but as much I like and respect Leif in person, I find the tone of most of his posts aggravating and sometimes I am going to say so. I only say so about 2% of the time that I have that reaction. Most of the time I just ignore it. Clearly I'm not alone in finding his online demeanor annoying. All of that said, I think you might be taking this a little too seriously. For one thing this is an activity and community we engage in for fun. Just as there's some sh*t talking in the eddy, there'll always be some on the forum. I don't want to participate in a place where I can only write factual boring on-topic posts. I'd go back to school if I wanted that. If people are turned off by that, well, so be it. This is a more vibrant online community than several that have been tried before for this region, and those other boards tried to be more on-topic and "socially correct." I honestly don't know where all the folks who don't like this board were when those other forums were falling apart, the on-topic nature sure didn't seem to generate the participation or broad slice of the boating community that this site has. Also, I'd point out this an April Fool's thread -- if ever there were a place for this kind of thing, this seems the place. So I'd again have to point out that no one has to read this, or agree with it, and anyone who doesn't like it is welcome to start the umpteenth Robe Canyon thread. Maybe the gnomes will have something more on-topic to add, but all the Robe threads I read have one-line posts, little beta, and no discussion. Most of the threads that seem to get traffic and actually engender discussion here on wancor don't seem to be beta posts or trip reports aanyway -- that ain't my fault or Leif's fault. I'd argue it isn't a "fault" to begin with anyway, but rather the sum of the contributions of those who participate. Like any democracy, if you don't like it get involved. For all the gripes I read on this board pining for some kind of pure on-topic only discourse, I don't see all these lurkers that are apparently driven off by our communal uncouth conversation choosing to sign up and make on-topic posts. The forum is going to reflect those who participate. I myself am a juvenile petty fool, so that's what you can expect from me. At least I own it and don't do it out of malice. ------------- |

I guess the joke is over... it was a joke of course and it was meant to be funny not harmful or rude. Leif, There are hundreds of previous April fool gags about selling out to Ledcor and I did indeed just copy everyone else which was lame and in bad form. I apologize and will work harder in the future to impress you with my creativity. I still can't believe they bore that big hole in the Ashlu as part of an april fools joke. Extreme if you ask me.... Man those canadians sure know how to prank!!!
