My tax dollars hard at work

[jay73]

I got to see my tax dollars hard at work today when a ministry truck came by to put a bear wise flyer in my mailbox. WHAT A JOKE!!!!

I wonder how much is spent on this crap.

I'm not a bear hunter but I was hoping Harper would try to re-instate the spring hunting season by now and make a few bucks instead of spending money on all of this nuisance bear bull$h!t.

I side with you in the issue, but I'm not sure where you got the idea that the Prime Minister of Canada would get involved in Provincial matters regarding bear hunting. Stephen Harper made no campaign promises in that regard. I for one would not want any Federal government to get its claws into a matter that is clearly Provincial jurisdiction according to the Constitution.

You'd be better off voicing your concerns to Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario. Or better, vote against Dalton McGuinty this fall!

Point taken, you're absolutely right Ninepointer. I type a little faster than my brain works sometimes.

i know of people who are a little hesitant of going camping of north due to the nuisance bear problem. All because of the stupid cancellation of the spring bear hunt. Other provinces have them, why not us?

Go camping, but get a big can of pepper spray. If one gets agressive and gets within range, let him have it. If I had one around my yard I would ask that they come put it down when it showed up, because I had small kids around the house.
