His friend was waiting at the gate. "I didn't know it was private land".

Uh huh.

Yeah I think the punishment is enough actually too much but who am I to say. He admitted to his crime now he's paying the price now we can move on.

If we want hunting to become more respectful in this province, then high level fines should be the norm.
With technology and access to information we have today "I didn't know" isn't an excuse.
Nice to see a majority of the money goes towards some aspect of maintaining and improving hunting and fishing in Alberta.

First his friend (waiting in the truck) says they have permission. Then he says he thought it was Crown land, and didn't see multiple "no hunting" signs. Sounds like he pulling the ol' truck-hunter smash n' grab.

Then you should google "skeptical snake" and Skeptical house" too.

No mention of a suspension of his hunting license.

He sure has gone "down the tubes" quickly for sure!

Seems to me that he's a law breaker.

That's because he pled to avoid suspension of his hunting privileges. Ridiculous. Glad the RWDB party has expelled him from caucus, but he should have face more serious consequences.

Oh well, at least he didn't "Grab" anyone.

Just another mandatory sentence that isn't really mandatory?

First dubious dealings with his government accommodations, a hit and run(on his neighbour no less), now caught poaching and trying to lie his way out of it. I'd say it sounds like he has always been a lying POS, makes me wonder what he hasn't been caught at? Behaviour like his, especially caught multiple times, would indicate to me that this is his true personality. Only be thankful he never became Premier.
