Well, I couldn’t resist. I did another installment of the Christina Lake pot bears story for the Globe.

It’s an update on the bears discovered by police outside an alleged marijuana grow op. Police said they were guarding the pot, but it seems more likely that it was just an old hippie trying to befriend them.

About a week ago, I read a story where B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake was asked about the bears and he said they’re coming out of hibernation and that he hoped they would stay away from people. I decided I should try and talk to Allen Piche, the man who has plead guilty to feeding them, so I tracked him down via Facebook. I’m glad I did as he told me a great tale…
