Right on. Kinda surprised, I'm not used to being in a target group for election promises.

We have more than enough American hunters as it is.

If you are a hunter or own firearms or care about the future of Canada, Harper is the only one to vote for.

If you read further down the page .
I have learnt anything with the word National in it...
A grain of salt .
http://www.nationalobserver.com/2015...stler%E2%80%A6
This is the next article about Harper s record ...
This is always the story with the reigning monarch
In this country .....your either wid em or agin em .
The fact Steve is the least scary of the candidates for the average
Hardworking tax paying Canadian . The way I see it ,he is about
As responsible for the collapse of oil and gas as forks are for
Obesity. Some one should fill JT in .
The trouble in this country is that we are to inclusive ,our penchant
For socialism is out of hand , the media panders to to many left
Wing morons , the lefty way is to do nothing but cash the cheques.

I don't read it that way.
He wants to encourage hunting related tourism to the north.
This is a good thing. Hunting brings money and jobs to northern communities. Hunting encourages private sector construction of transportation networks into our northern areas. Hunting gives value to our northern species. Hunting brings people to our northern frontiers.
People living, working , building and recreating in the area helps establish our sovereignty on our Northern Frontier.
Ever shot three ducks with one shot before? Smart move.

If I could cast 12 ballots for Mr. Harper, I would. He is the only choice, not only for firearms owners but for the general wellness of our country.

I read the word "targets" and though he was coming after us trying to gain some Libber votes (which I thought odd). I wonder if they worded it for that intended purpose or though they'd use a pun.

Getting your news from disreputable sources .....
The national observer is a wing of the Vancouver Observer a lefty
Tree hugging la la land semi fake news source specializing in
Bait and switch reporting . The are financed basically by the enemies
Of Canadian industry . Koch brothers , Sierra club , half of Hollywood
The first story is just a copy of a federal news release .....
Then the bashing starts .
And any news source that claims Margaret Atwood has something valid
To say should be held under water for a week .

This not news nor is it from a real newspaper. This is propaganda from a tired politician. I believe there is a "Best Before Date" on everything, especially politicians. Time for the PCs to go.
Anyone reading this article is wishful thinking.

The Koch brothers might be the enemies of Canadian industry, but they are certainly not tree huggers and supporters of environmental movements. I'm not sure whose been feeding you a load of codswallup, Winch.
They so far have spent $900 million influencing the 2016 elections and have given more than $100 million to right wing conservative and libertarian policy and advocacy groups in the United States, including think tanks like the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute, and Americans for Prosperity.
Americans for Prosperity, founded by David Koch, is one of the main nonprofit groups assisting the Tea Party movement.
The Koch brothers have played an active role in opposing climate change legislation. According to the environmentalist group Greenpeace, organizations that the Koch brothers help fund such as Americans for Prosperity, the Heritage Foundation, the Cato institute, and the Manhattan Institute have been active in questioning global warming.Through Americans for Prosperity, the Koch brothers influenced more than 400 members of Congress to sign a pledge to vote against climate change legislation that does not include equivalent tax cuts.
Margaret Atwood did have some pretty funny comments about Harper's hair though - not to say hers is anything to write home about. I do admit she looks like she has been underwater for a week. The comments were more about press censorship. She's more of a Canadian icon than Harper ever will be.

Atwood, is punching way out of her weight class, and that's' the only time I would use 'class' and Atwood' in the same sentence. She is shallow and her comments show this clearly..
Good value for all the gov't grants she sucked up? I think not.

If it was only about registration you might have a point. Kiss your scary guns goodbye if one of the other 2 get in.

you guys do realize that this would mean more quotas for outfitters to meet the demand of American hunters specially with the Canadian dollar being so low. its a bargain to come hunt in Canada now.
it takes 12 yrs to get a moose tag right now. imagine what will happen when we lose a few more tags to outfitters in each WMU
what a joke

I missed that part. could you post a link? 12 years for a moose tag? Is that everywhere in the province?

Jayhad, maybe you could let us know how many animals have been destroyed, or how much habitat has been destroyed in the three years since Steve upgraded the laws on Navigable waters?
When I googled it, there were none.

I do realize that but do you really think it will have more impact to the regular joe or most outfitters?
I do get that you can get a tag easily with no priorities up north but look at how many ppl got priority 7 8 and 9 and still can't pull a tag down here (Calgary and around). the fact that its hard to get a tag here made people from here go up north to hunt as its easier to get a tag. now whats gonna happen is getting tag up north will become harder and its a domino effect.
believe it or not, if you want to make people quit shooting and sell their guns then don't tell them. just take away things they can do with it. less ranges, less hunting, less public land zones and so on. half the gun owners will disappear in the next few years.

You're a troll/tool.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! I'm still convinced 90% of the ndp voters in AB last election still couldn't name the mla they voted for, nor have even now read the ndp constitution or policies.
No reason to expect different in a federal election (or even expect left supporters to know the difference; truly sad as that is).
