You could not pay me enough to work

What? Compared to getting escorts off Leolist?

There are folks who dont live in the center of the universe.
Have relelvant Uni degrees for this and are dying to land a job in thier field.
And are not intimidated with outdoor wilderness time being a big part of the job.

Beats the hell out of the other job they have - "Want fries with that?"

I don't know the difference between, vegetables, plants, weed, armed animal and lost animals.
(marijuana) (Drug planters) ( maybe people).

How much is the rent up there?
$1,650 / Month for one bed.

Parks Canada is hiring for these jobs in Ontario and you can make almost $90,000

There are Parks Canada jobs in Ontario at a national park and marine conservation area with towering cliffs, lush forests, historic shipwrecks and more. You can make almost $90,000 with the positions.

Work in the wild where there are wolves and bears Canadian archaic laws don’t permit you to carry firearms. Might as well bring a bottle of honey and when a bear attacks you pour it over your head so that you can died faster.

The only reason you need a firearm when out in the bush is because you are intending on shooting something so you can eat it. You have far better odds getting hit by lightning than attacked by wolves, they are far more afraid of you than you should be of them. As for black bears, while they can be dangerous, the odds of you running afoul of one are slim and in the event you do a can of bear spray and making loud noises is all you need. Both bears and wolves will sense you way before you see them and run off in most cases.

Plus this job listing is in the Bruce Peninsula which is not that big and has a pretty large population compared say Pukaskwa National Park which is truely remote and void of people save for a handful of back country campers who go there in the summer

Dude, that's well south of Sudbury. The pay is decent. Add on lots of benefits. 2 years post secondary needed in the field. They pay for other education upgrades. One of them appears entry level.

And that's your complaint? It's beautiful country up there. I can see lots of people wanting that.

Looks like a great opportunity for people that have degrees in fields where there are not nearly enough jobs to go around. Better get in line quick there’s going to be a flood of applicants. And don’t forget your bug spray. You’re gonna need it.

I know a guy that went up to the NWT to be a pharmacist for the Gov. It paid $250K+ a year. He did 3 years and came back and set up his own pharmacy before he was 30 years old and debt free.

Did he come back single or married?
Did he have "fun" up there?

You can carry a non restricted firearm like the Ruger mini-14. Many automatic fire guns were banned after the Ecole Polytechnique shooting in Montreal at the Universite de Montreal. The Ruger mini-14 was never banned because many natives use the gun to hunt for food.

Came back single, married his city pharmacist wife and is living the good life. I am sure the 3 years seem like a flash to him now. Never asked him is he had fun up there. The natives are so poor up there that they wait for two seals cross to each other so they can make two kills with one bullet.

No wolves on the Bruce Peninsula, but lots of coyotes and black bears. Beautiful area. I’d love a job like that if I didn’t already have a much higher paying career.

Mini-14 is now a restricted prohibited firearm in Canada since 2020

Greatl bush gun in .44 Magnum. I had one. Was called the 44 Carbine.

You do realize that long guns are a thing, and that rural Canadians have mountains of them? Yes, you need a reason to be lugging one with you, and you need to store them safely. Hunting is a thing. So is deep woods camping. Bears and wolves seldom attack people, and usually only very stupid people, or in very specific circumstances. The government isn't going to dump you in the middle of the forest with no training.

Unless I'm misremembering, federal and provincial parks workers, who are doing things in the deep woods, do get firearms training and have access to firearms. However, many parks jobs are basically handyman / maintenance / yard work / customer service type jobs. You don't really need guns for those jobs.

I know people who work / worked for federal and provincial parks / environment ministries at both the 'grunt' and management level. They're good jobs if you're the right type of person for them. They're not for me, but they're not bad jobs.

I'll have to ask the person I know who was responsible for checking on unmanned / remote, parks if he was issued a gun. He got paid government wages to portage, canoe, and sip a flask by the fire at night. (Only part of the job, he swears. ) He got eaten exactly zero times, but he liked the woods and that sort of stuff.
