Mixing his ministries

As the new Attorney General, Barry Penner is thrilled at this opportunity to clean things up in this province. The problem is, sometimes he takes things a little to literally…

Action Barry… Away!

Barry Penner doesn’t like to show off his supernatural abilities too often, but sometimes he just can’t resist… after all, how often do you get a chance to demonstrate that you are able to leap over moderate streams in a single bound?

Also note the reflective vest and hard hat. Even when showboating, safety is first.

Variations on the old standby

Just because Barry Penner isn’t the Minister of the Environment any more doesn’t mean that he still can’t find the time for the good old Dynamic Nature Shot. This one is a superb specimen, too. He’s got the Picturesque Environment (never not relevant) , the Running Water, and the Dynamic Knee Up On Something Dynamically. He’s not pointing at anything this time around, but he has added a new element to the mix: an Aboriginal person to Relate to and Reconcile with.

I think it works.

The best kind of shenanigans

If you see someone squatting in a stream with a bucket and a huge grin, you would usually wonder what sort of shenanigans they are up to. Not so with Barry Penner; you know exactly the type of shenanigans he’s up to: Environmental ones.

I’m not so sure about those other guys, though.

What keeps Barry Penner up at night?

Barry Penner has seen things that have shaken him to his very core. A lesser man would have been reduced to tears, but Barry Penner just sets his jaw and soldiers on.

The real extreme sport

Some people may enjoy wakeboarding, but as usual Barry Penner takes it to the next level: Wake Posing!

I bet they don’t even have a bailing bucket!

It seems that Barry Penner is the only one of his group that really understands the rules of boat safety. Oh, well. I guess everyone else will have to stay ashore while Barry Penner goes and has an awesome (but perfectly safe) aquatic adventure. Their loss.

Nothing gets past Barry Penner!

You may wonder exactly what the process is to determine how much snow there is up in the mountains. It’s actually very complicated, as Barry Penner explains:

The minister said he was in the North Okanagan last week for a snow survey conducted by ministry staff at a course with 10 specific measurement locations that have been assessed in the last 41 years.

“Of the 10 specific places we went to measure snow, eight did not have any snow and two just had little patches. It’s just an indicator there isn’t a lot of snow we can look to to refill the reservoirs.”

- The Globe and Mail

So for those of you who couldn’t follow along, basically what happens is if there isn’t snow on the ground, that is an indicator that there isn’t a lot of snow. Thank you Barry Penner, for demystifying the process!

Still the best dressed one, though.

Some days, Barry Penner is just another dude, hanging around the box of scuzzy water.

Going green or glowing green?

Barry Penner is taking a casual stroll next to his favourite green sludge pond. I know he’s all about going green, but this is a little over the top.
