I feel very lucky and honoured to have seen a kermode bear/spirit bear in the 90s when I was travelling up the Central Coast of BC. Black bears are very common but there are only 50 to a few hundred of these bears. They are only found on a few of the Islands and mainland coastline. They are sacred in Indigenous teachings.

Dear Alaska,
As a former resident of BC and a Canadian I have this to say,

" Complaining about poor international relations is like complaining we won't allow an abusive household partner back into our home. Adding abusive measures and gaslighting won't solve the problem.
Since sunshine is limited up there, I am pretty sure you know where to put that resolution"
