how come they don't need the restrictions we have ?

[legi0n]

summary:

• loaded rifles in a motorboat
• glassing through a riflescope
• shooting from a motorboat
• eskimos
• seal hunting
• ...

why that's considered safe in the USA but not in Canada?

 

[Octavian z]

Because people who sit in offices and never go into the wilderness write the laws, while hunters who are actually in the wilderness have no influence on the laws.

Because, oh hell, just read my sig line!

They (alaskans) also get to carry handguns.

Canada is more concerned with protecting the feeble minded.

They do a lot of things we can’t do here. On some of these shows I see them dip netting salmon. If we did that here we’d go to jail.

Well the salmon and rainbows are being netted in many of the tributaries in Ontario. It’s being filmed and reported but no one’s showing up to lay charges because of the race. Too clarify, they also use the beach as a toilet and think it’s acceptable.

When I was in Smithers BC they ran a net across the salmon grounds at the mouth of the river and sold the salmon on the side of the road.

We live in a country where regulations are not based on logic or common sense. The regulations vary by race, which makes zero sense either for wildlife management or safety.

 

[MiG25]

Many restrictions are completely arbitrary.

 

[Heliian]

Is there an actual question here? The laws are different in Canada, always have been mostly.

You can shoot migratory from a boat.

Mass import the third world. Turn into the third world.

Same folks were flinging poop at hydro workers after a power outage in Ontario.

Am not aware of any beach ####ting or poop flinging before 2015. Wonder what changed ?


I was salmon fishing last weekend and a couple of Canadas newest citizens showed up, when I noticed they weren’t marking their salmon on a license I inquired. They told me “Indians don’t need a fishing or hunting license in Canada “


Apparently these folks aren’t even aware they are different than the First Nations that have the treaty rights. An Indians an Indian I guess.

If you were a south Asian Indian why wouldn’t you come?

You couldn’t pay me to live somewhere everyone hates me. But when you have 0 critical thinking skills I guess that doesn’t even pop into your head before making a decision (not OP)

There are some places in the US where you can’t use radios, cell phones, or trail cameras. Regulations like that usually arise from local situations/issues.

In Ontario, when the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act came out, one of the objectives was to limit its scope to safety and conservation while leaving out hunter ethics.

So, how much fish did you buy ?
You do know that with the treaty process in place they have the ability to catch Salmon for Ceremonial Purposes, Food Fish purposes, Commercial Fishing and 1st Nations Commercial Fishery and other Special situations....
I do not agree with several of these treaty rights granted, but thats just me though, such as a First Nations Commercial Fishery and then a Commercial Fishery the next day or hours later and the 1st Nations have double the average of the non 1st Nations fishermen.
But, alas this has not been the situation for the last 5 or 7 years on the Fraser as it has been shut to non 1st Nations due to conservation (sic) measures.
As for post 11, yes one can shoot Migratory Game Birds from a boat, but it must be at anchor or secured to a blind , engine off and no forward motion through the water as just a few of the restrictions.

A little history.

In the eighties a neighbour was a US customs officer at CYYC.

He had been a sheriff in Alaska, where concealed carry law mirrored Canada’s.

The sheriffs had agreed that they would not issue permits to anyone who didn’t have sufficient economic or political clout to override their decision.

It took quite some time, and a great deal of work by firearms owners, to convince the legislature to remove that authority from them.

But, they did, following Florida’s lead in instituting “shall issue” permits that removed the discretion that had allowed their high handed mass refusals.

When 9/11 came along, the legislature was convinced to remove the requirement to seek permission to go armed.

They became one of the first states to adopt constitutional carry, because they were told that it was an outrage to treat the people as slaves while criminals did whatever they damned well pleased.

We could have been the beneficiaries of a comparable change in Canada, if we didn’t have so many among us who can’t wrap their minds around one simple fact.

Long before the American Revolution, British subjects had a well recognized right to carry arms.

The same right that some Americans demanded constitutional protection for, before they would ratify.

Constitutional protection that has, at times, been absolutely useless.

That happens whenever the people fail to stand up for the right of their neighbours to keep and bear arms, a failure that has been all too common throughout the world.
