How can we expose the fraud that our Ontario Provincial Liberals and the MNR Minister David Ramsay has perpetrated on the residents of the north when the spring bear hunt was not reinstated as the committee with their extensive study recommended but instead the MNR would take other measures to control the nuisance bears. These measures seem to be a 1-800-514-BEAR number with a recorded message which directs callers to "call 911 if this is an emergency life threatening (bear) problem". How absurd! Is this a joke? Someone with an emergent life threatening bear problem is going to be on the phone calling a 1-800 number? GIVE ME A BREAK. What has this done to deal with the increase in the bear population and the nuisance bear encounters? It has done nothing to correct the problem. It's just a feeble attempt to deal with a problem after it has occurred. But look a little further. A 911 call in rural northern Ontario goes to the OPP. What have they done? They have simply off loaded the bear problem to the OPP who often are too busy especially during spring,summer & fall in cottage country to handle the police calls they receive. Someone will be killed or seriously injured soon. It's only a matter of time. Damn politicians. gg.
