Presence

From the latest report of the provincial Auditor-General, at page 406, a map — kudos on the proportionality and all — showing Forestry and Wildlife Enforcement Regions, with the enforcement staffing levels in each of them:

According to this map, there are 20 front-line enforcement staff in Labrador, or one for every 14,700 square kilometres. That's roughly the size of the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland.

There are 87 scattered across Newfoundland's two Enforcement regions and the headquarters, or one for every 1280 square kilometres. That's roughly four times the size of the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, or five and a half Fogo Islands.

Where are the policy wonks? Won't someone think about the government presence?
