Remember 20(?) years ago Ontario stopped the spring black bear hunt.
The nuisance bear numbers exploded to the point that the province actually created a problem bear response squad to deal with.
After X number of years and how many millions of wasted tax payer dollars versus the positive revenue/tourism dollars generated by the hunt, they finally clued in and re-instated the hunt.
Also remember it was only a couple years ago that 2 different people, on private acreages just north of Calgary, were killed by grizzlies.
Sadly it'll take more maulings, problem bears for anything to change here.
But it's possible.
Biggest problem I have is the media spin on any of these type stories. Always leftwing college so-called experts.

It's time to go hunting and quit all this ballistic masturbation."
