Parks Canada debates allowing guns in national parks with polar bear populations

This can't be so... Mr Gore has discovered polar bears are vanishing and dying on ice flows!!!!!

well they would bring some sense of security when in such remote areas where there is few other people or ways to call for help . but actually shoting a polar bear isn't a great idea .

Anywhere in Nunavut all the airports have a government poster on what to do if you encounter a polar bear,what size rifle you should have,what caliber bullets,where to aim for a quick kill.
The Canadian govt. puts out these PSA's for city slickers.
When one wanders into a small community they hold a raffle at the school to see which 14 year old kid gets to shoot it.And when the kid shoots it,they spend a week teaching the youngsters how to prep. the fur.

I posted this about 2 months ago but no one seem interested as they were actually voting on it at the time in polls all across the arctic.
Now it's old news.

But if your really interested then google "up here" magazine's website and you will see it's still a hot topic up there.The RCMP actually breath a sigh of releif when they see someone going into polar bear country with a gun.

OOOOOOOWWWW.
Guns and killing animals......OOOOWWWWW
This is too radical for Canada......OOOOWWWWW

Pass the TOFU....

No need for a gun----just breath on the polar bear----CO2 kills them doncha know?????????

Game wardens don't carry guns but a security force for a non-elected and non- regulated group (translink) are allowed to pack heat? Sounds dumb to me.

Just as I wouldn't work the night shift in east van without protection, I wouldn't trust a bell to scare away almost a ton of angry bear.

And yet the government (the swivellel servants) continue to spout the AL GORE BS.
