Barry Penner has strong words for all of you out there with more… unusual pets:
“Come April 1, if you have one of these alien species you could get a visit from a conservation officer or the police,” said Penner.
So look out, all of you nefarious alien-loving folks! Hide your tribbles, or face the wrath of Barry Penner!

Okay, so the Winter Olympics have come and gone, and are generally regarded as a huge success. Best ever, some would argue. Barry Penner has an idea why:
It seems to me these Olympics have been like Expo on steroids,” he said.
Way to go, Barry. I think you just disqualified the Olympics from themselves.
How embarrassing.

I’d like to apologize to all the loyal Barry Penner followers for getting this post up so late. In my defense, I am sick. I’ve come down with a little thing called Olympic fever. I spent all day yesterday coughing, hacking, and watching CTV; it was terrible. However, it seems that I am not alone. Barry Penner may not be going to any Olympic events, but that doesn’t mean he’s not celebrating Canada’s games. He’s throwing his own party, and everyone is invited:
“This is another way to celebrate the 2010 Winter Games,” said Environment Minister Barry Penner. “We welcome everyone to drop by SFU or BCIT to check out the cabins.”
(…)
The cabins will highlight BC Parks, and also have information about Climate Action policies, Water Stewardship, and Environmental Protection initiatives with brochures, posters, children’s games, and videos.
What better way to celebrate the international spirit of sporting brotherhood and competition than by going out to BCIT and checking out a cabin! Environmental Protection initiatives are the new gold medals, after all!

Hey everyone! It’s time for the Olympics! I hope you got your tickets a while back, they aren’t exactly easy to come by, you know. Barry Penner may be going, but only under very specific circumstances:
Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner did not rule out attending the Olympics for free. But he said that if he does so, “It will be in my work capacity representing Chilliwack-Hope and the province of British Columbia.”
- Chilliwack Times
So, we’ll be seeing Barry Penner in the Olympic crowds then? It doesn’t matter if he’s catching some two-man luge or cross-country skiing, Barry Penner always represents Chilliwack-Hope. That’s why he’s the Barry Penner.

We here at Barry Penner is Awesome have been beating the Barry Penner Water drum for a while now. Water is many things to many people, but to Barry Penner water is everything.
“Water defines British Columbia, and over the next 25 years we expect B.C.’s population to grow by another 1.4 million people,” said Penner. “Our water will have to go a lot further without compromising nature’s needs. The Living Water Smart blog is an interactive way to encourage open dialogue on this important topic. Together, we can determine the steps we must take to protect our water both for today and the future.”
Water defines BC. We need to protect water… for the future. And here I’ve been drinking it like it falls from the sky.
