    Back in 2002 I watched an episode of the Natural of Things with David Suzuki.
    He was going on that frogs are the canary in the coal mine and in agriculture land most frogs were gone because of all the pesticides that farmers were spraying.
    At the time a thought to myself that maybe there was something in what he was saying because I sure could not remember hearing many frogs the last few springs. Not like when I was a kid.
    Few years later rain’s returned and water was in excess most of the time and holy crap the frogs were everywhere.
    I can be spraying and go through a water hole and frogs are just jumping.
    Drive down the road and ever water spot you go by the frogs are croaking like crazy.
    2002 was just really dry and no water so no frogs. Has nothing to do with ag.

      With crazy over the top environmental regulations we are putting ourselves to a greater disadvantage to countries moving at a slower pace. We are going to pay for this economically in quick order if we don’t stop sabotaging our own industries.

        Just another “job creation program “ created from taxpayers money that will just hamper productivity and produce near zero net results
        But sounds all lovely to the urbanites

            I’ve never heard frogs as loud as this year. Stop next to any water hole along any road and open the window.

              I was talking with an inspector on the trans mountain. He spent hundred(S) of thousands to build a frog overpass across the pipeline during construction. I doubt that was the only one.
              I expect it is more about racketeering to line someone's pockets with cushy contracts than it is about the environment.
