There are two types of people on this forum as far as i'm concerned.

One - People who care about the fate of the hunting community in BC and our hunting opportunities for ourselves, our children and future generations of BC.

two - those who do not.

As far as I can tell, lots in this second category are here to drag you down into meaningless squabbles, sow division and pull your eye off the target.[/QUOTE]

Cue Jassmine....on point as always on these issues.
Wonder how her scouting is going.
She must be excited about the upcoming hunting season

...drag you down into meaningless squabbles...
...Cue Jassmine....on point as always on these issues.

Always on point and willing to correct misinformation posted as I see it.
When people starting considering the correction of pretty blatant errors as "meaningless squabbles" it results in the conversation becoming "beyond facts".

What is something that I am surprised that no one has considered is how the 100s of other First Nation communities must have felt as they slowly lost more and more access to their traditional lands due to treaties written in languages that many did not speak or full understand decades and century(ies) ago. Treaty negotiations in many cases that were conducted in bad faith, of which resulted in the numerous treaty court cases we see everywhere.
The feelings exhibited here in the topic, are likely similar to those felt by those first nation people generations ago.

How did native Canadians treat the tribes they vanquished? Seems there is a world movement to support people who make poor choices at the expense of the ones who work hard and make a better life.

Everyone go out and slaughter the healthy cattle so the poor ones can have more grazing

Exactly, the dangers of short-sighted bleeding heart politics.

Liberals seem to think Conservatives take delight in suffering, poverty, and inequality when that couldn't be further from the truth.

Any sane person wants peace and happiness and sunshine for everybody but that isn't how life works. Just like an alcoholic dependent on booze can't see it's ruining his life, Liberals dependent on the government teat can't see it will ruin theirs.

Funny how millions have fled socialist states to nations that are built on capitalism and opportunity.

How many flee nations built on capitalism to seek a better life in a state built on socialisim and hand outs?

This latest play will end up in epic failure, history has proven it all over the world for centuries.

Here is a recent quote that has really been resonating with me lately, it's a fun one to share too because it's not exactly partisan either.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."

The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:

from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;
from complacency to apathy; <----- We are between here and the next step.
from apathy to dependency;
from dependency back again to bondage.

See what happens when down town Vancouver is ruled by a native gov’t. Haaahaha

Since it's been quiet here for a few days-- Anybody see the news tonight? If the Prime Minister sincerely believes the policies he advocates as good for the country then he should hire some of the people he marched with in the "Pride Parade" to be nannies for his children.
Maybe some of us should organize and hold a "Resident Moose Hunters Pride Parade". Would that even be permitted in Vancouver? Just wondering.
