View Full Version : Coming to a road near you!

Coming to a road near you is a group of angry, disgruntled people. They have every right to be angry and disgruntled, as, in addition to receiving unlimited federal and provincial government support with a no taxation policy, they now want to have all the animals of the province of B.C.

As evident by our collective apathy at the election polls, I suggest to you, that everyone will just stay home plugged into whatever electronic device they choose and ignore the whole scenario.

Why would our resident hunters who relish their time outdoors, hiking, camping, challenging themselves with each day of the hunt, be interested in participating in a show of opposition designed to take our Province back.

Why wouldn’t “the boys” just stay in their warm houses now that the hunt for the year is done and just relax with the good wife. Never mind that next year there may not be any hunting at all up north, and never mind that perhaps the next road block is at your own very secret spot! We should just let them have that too, let them have all the “secret spots” that is what the light at the end of the tunnel is.

Am I right……is it the “War in the Woods” ?

Am I wrong to call for “the boys” ?

Or are they are complacently sitting at home watching “Dancing with the Stars” with the wife.

I am no troll and yes I have posted only 5 posts asking questions, directing attention to a situation that will continue throughout the province I believe. I could be wrong but I could be right and to that end I am simply voicing my opinion/warning because you just watch what happens next year. Mark my words there will be more blockades. I was under the assumption that instead of blaming the messenger people may just start a writing campaign or a phone campaign voicing their opinions and concerns regarding this delicate issue. So call me what you like just thought I would ask some relavent questions about a potential lifestyle challenge.

I have no authority other than the fact that I was born and raised in this great province. I believe as such I have rights as well. Clout......I don't know about that other than the same clout we all have and could collectively use.

First of all I recall northern reflections but equality ? what's that ?
Equal rights, you must be from the 90's lol. You missed that debate lol.
Secondly, imho which is worthless, you should put politics under the political heading not Hunting the Mainland --
Thirdly -- I'm on both sides so I'm equaler than you lol J/J
Jel -- on both sides not just one side -- all people are equal in Canada period

So are you saying that we should all have the same rights as the FN? Or are you saying that the FN should have to abide by the same rules as the rest of us? I know you are going to say it doesn't matter what any of us think... blah blah blah. I am simply asking for your honest oppinion on this based on the final sentence of your last post. I am hoping that I get a straight forward cut to the chase answer on this from you Jelvis, instead of one of your rambling posts that go around in circles and end nowhere.

Good points by all posters cuz we are intelligent human beings and you are quite smart no doubt.
I try to live pragmatically among idealistic standards that some individuals dwell on.
Example would be -- Sure be nice if they left the Coquihalla river in a natural state and didn't build that huge roadway through migration routes of ungalets from Hope to Kamloops and call it the Coquihalla highway. Build ten foot fences to stop them from crossing, blocked off their trails and road ways. So I want a say in this. ok.
So I'm going to raise a stink about it, but it's kinda late now lol.
The laws that are lived by in hunting now are the ones your fore fathers made with others and it's kinda late to change it back a hundred years.
So live with it and get along or be in an adversarial state forever lol.
Jel -- you have no power to change one jot or sentence in the Constitution of Canada and it's rights and freedoms so your spinning wheels in gravel and waisting a lot of gas and energy, try talking with the government, provincial and or federal and see if you can get through with your world changing ideas about the laws and regulations and wild life act, that you totally and absolutely think are criminal. Nothing else you do will do much in reality imho --
Do you get that part ? Or are you taking this to the Supreme Court lol.

Ok . I had a good idea that you would come back and say that it didn't matter what any of us think because the laws are the laws and we all have to live by them. But in your last post you made reference to the coquihala and how nice it would have been if they left the river in a natural state. So it would be safe to say that if you had the power to change history you would restore that. So Hypothetically speaking Jel.... If you had the power to make it happen would you...

a.) Make the same laws again that put different Canadians with different rights?

b.) Make all Canadians live by the rules the FN live and adhere to now?

or

c.) Make all FN live and adhere to the same laws the other Canadians do?

If you could change things in the past, no, as far as Canadian law I would'nt cuz it would erode the infrastructure of time and legislation.
Law is evolving over time and the time is now, that was then, this is now.
It's hard to live in the now, when you dwell on the past, and try to plan what's in the future, live and let live, do your part because you appreciate your freedoms. Live within those freedoms and boundaries, play the game of life. Accept your limitations and do your best, mind your business and hopefully others will mind theirs. Don't be eager to fight the neighbor sort of thing. Live and let die. McCartney -- Tell da Twooth --

Thanx for the answer Jel. It seems to me that you are saying we all need to live in todays time not our forefathers time. "that was then, this is now" I believe you said. Well welcome to the white mans arguement. What most non FN canadians have been saying over and over is that we need to forget about the past and we all need the same laws. Just because laws were made by our fore fathers doesn't meen they need to be written in stone forever. that was then, this is now. Times change. The context in which many of those laws were written don't apply anymore.

To say that FN should be able to hunt year round because their elders did doesn't apply anymore. Just as it doesn't apply that they hunted with moccassons and spears/wooden bow. The arguement is made often that FN can use modern methods because times have changed... well why doesn't that shoe fit the other foot then? It isn't imperrative to survival anymore to be able to harvest a moose in February. FN people often say that it is part of their heritage to live off the land. Well then isn't it also part of their heritage to live off the land in the traditional way? Not with pick-up trucks and quads and ,even for some, multi million candlepower lamps? Not to even mention modern firearms.

Times Change

Time for change.

Time for One Canada

Shooter you must be a young person by the sound of it to me anyways
You want to stir things up a little with others for entertainment
That was then this is now -- today
Nothing changed today on these rights you don't agree with -- why is that ?
Ok so the past they made paid holidays for most employees and time and a half pay for stat holidays -- so your not going to pay it cuz it's real old agreement and that was back then -- lol -- see where it's going ?
Written in Acts and Laws to the end of time --
If you say the game is gone now over shot out by whomever the laws should be changed, you should know what your doing.
-- Look in BC regs and read it from cover to cover once -- and see the priorities of the BC Wildlife act as in harmony with Federal regs for hunters.
Who is shut down first ? So keep some things factual and say you don't really know, how many deer and animals are harvested each year by hunters in BC cuz if they went by your ideas you'd be cooking your own goose.
You say one Canada, lol, what about the seperatists, they don't recognize you as in their country, why don't you pick on them to be one and you pick on locals in bc, what's with that pillygrim ? Your getting mired down.

I am not quite as young as you may think Jelvis however I don't think that matters to anything anyways. I am born and raised a canadian, as were my parents, and there parents before them, and there parents before them etc etc.
Contrary to your beliefs I do not find it entertaining that other Canadians have more rights than me. I do not consider myself a lesser canadian than you so why should I or any other canadian be treated as such? The same as no other canadian should be treated lesser than I. Bringing up stat holidays as a rebuttle to a FN debate is weak at best.



Law is evolving over time and the time is now, that was then, this is now.
It's hard to live in the now, when you dwell on the past

Those were your words not mine. I agree with that statement whole heartedly. If it went to the polls tomorrow and the masses voted that we no longer cellebrate Thanksgiving day well then I guess thats a stat that should be dropped and everyone should work that day again. If the masses voted that no one should get paid overtime for working a stat...well then so be it. Let the majority rule I say. You say that law is evolving yet you hold fast to the treaties of the FN. Should they not evolve also?

To the best of my knowledge none of the seperatists have any more rights as Canadians than I do. I also do not see them Blockading me in my own province. Keeping me out of my own land. I have no issue with Quebec leaving Canada. They have thier province. They can take it and leave with their portion of the debt. FN do not have their own province They live Canada wide so I would caution that no body of people would be willing to surrender thier country without a fight. If FN's think they are going to take Canada from the rest of us then sooner or later a war will arise. And I would assume that it will go the other way as well. The only peaceful outcome can only be one canada one law. It seems to me that everyone EXCEPT the first FN want this and want to live in harmony with each other.

Do you think that you gotta a one track mind or hung up on one people sort of thing because of what you learned or experienced, repeating for some reason out of thousands of different laws for different people by reacting so enthusiastically over one thing in life.
Finish college and read some of BC's proud history and get along, we have more similarities than differences as humans c'mon life's not fair or equal and never will be, so let's get on with the living part.

Let them know that a group of people are blocking access to public land to private BC citizens.

There are many ways to proceed:

1. Pressure needs to be put on the B.C. Wildlife Fed of which some of us pay a membership to take our case before the politicians of the day.
2. We need to get our message out through all levels of media.
3. We need to rally together in one cohesive group to bring further attention to what is happening throughout the North and perhaps the whole Province in the future.
4. We need to put pressure on the RCMP to uphold the law.
5. We need to form one large group province wide, have letters signed and hand delivered by a group to Victoria, then perhaps the powers that be will listen.
6. One motto “Everybody or Nobody” needs to ring loud and clear.
7. If all of the above is tried and useless then we need to begin our own campaign of civil disobedience, blockade the blockaders.

This is a very simplified version of how I see it...

When the white man came here he took everything from the Natives. The only thing that they wanted at the time was their right to fish and hunt as they wanted. The white man LAUGHED at this request!! They thought the natives were stupid to ask for something that there was so much of. "Ok, you can have those rights", the white man snickered as they took 99% of the land, water and mineral rights away.

Fast forward to today. "Wait a minute, but game and fish aren't so abundant anymore? Who gave these guys their special rights? That's not fair!! Now we want equality!! Lets organize to take away what we have given them. "

Hey Shooter now your talking be a martyr for the cause -- you say they have no right to block a public access road, which everyone already knows that lol. We all know that one so what's your solution idea ?
If you believe what your saying to yourself then why do you stop then keep driving. I see government road closure put up where I hunt and it did'nt stop the tourists from driving on them or the locals they go around them. One guy I saw I said this roads closed, he said no all locals use it.
Hey that's wrong man so ah but who's stopping them one guy got stopped and told it was closed and he gave the bird and kept going.
Drive up there and tell the guy hey you are not allowed to block this road and I'm going through or around and mean what you say, and say what you mean. Be a Martyr. Then it will get coverage on the news otherwise it won't see the light of day -- One out of ten people hunt the others don't so figure out your odds on winning people over to you and the way you see things in your mind. Are you helping your cause or slowing it ?
Jel -- do something or give an example of a letter and who your sending it to.
You got the podium for 20 minutes -- Mikes on. GO ---> 20 minutes of fame < --

Howdy,personally I think at this time you can write all the letters you want and get the typical run around answers from the different gov't departments for about the next six months.
This topic is a fairly news worthy item for the press's sensationalim -road closures-gun pointing etc. and there really is nothing on any news channels or newspapers about these happenings.
Until the Olympics are over and done with, we will hear nothing about this type of stuff that may tarnish our beautiful B.C. image to the rest of the world.
The media has probably been told to put a lid on their stories regarding this. Later

Has there been any word on why they set up the blockade? Is it just to keep all the animals to themselves? Maybe thier sick and tried of people that do not live in there area come up for a week to two weeks a year, blast animals, leave a mess and walk away with no concern of what they did because they don't have to deal with it. I know not all hunters are like this, but there is a lot of hunters that do. That's the one thing that sucks living in the north. look at all the oil and gas money made in the north that does not stay in the north. It all goes down south to make the southern parts of BC a better place to live. Is that fair? the Horn river Basin is 30km out of Fort Nelson and has made close to 2 billion in land sales for the province, and mr cambell thought is was nice to give us 5 million for our rec center that collapsed.

If it's coming to a road near me. That is future, the term that's coming, it's ok cuz it ain't there, that's future tense, so keep going it's just your thought prediction does'nt mean it's going to happen. It's your thoughts of what might happen you can't tell the future. lol.
If I get to a road that has a gate or a blockage whether it's a ranch or deactivated, I'll go to another spot and hunt close by or over there.
