Sportsmen beware

Dear sir:
As a taxpayer and a resident of Northwestern Ontario, I am extremely disappointed in the recent response from the leader of the NDP and the MPP for this riding when the issue of the spring bear hunt was presented to the candidates.
With all the written requests from roughly 180 municipalities from Northern Ontario (including, I believe, every municipality within his own riding) calling for the reinstatement of the spring bear hunt for numerous reasons, in addition to the almost daily reports of nuisance bears, numerous bear/human encounters, and even several bear attacks, not to mention the enormous number of bears being shot as nuisances and their cubs left to die, and yet our own MPP is OK with the situation.
Sportsmen beware!
We should expect more from our next MPP. After all, they are supposed to be voicing the concerns of their constituents.
(Signed),
Terry Wood
