I don't know much about it...but from what I understand, this has been a major controversy for years.

A court announced today that the Metis have won and will receive their "rights" as requested.

I heard this on CJOB just a 1/2 hour ago.

yeah.. my father in law was charged a number of years ago for hunting without a license. They were saying it was because he was Metis.
Case got to court. He showed them that he did in fact have a license at the time and the Natural Resources officer was just an ass.... too bad though cause they had already siezed the moose and it spoiled in the evidence locker

heh... he was the type of guy that was happier with the fact the judge pretty much agreed that the officer was an asshole.

Gee wonder when I won 't need a fishing license. Even though I doubt some claims to Metis and whether if all can meet the criteria of true Metis .

I don't get it. I assume there are reasons why they impose limits for fishing and hunting. I strongly oppose two rules for peeps.

I really don't much care about history -- if there are dangers of over-fishing or over-hunting then stop freakin' fishing and hunting.

Or fish and hunt to your hearts content but do not come back looking for "compensation" when the fish and wildlife are no longer sustainable.

Jesus H. Christ it's 2009. Who the frick needs to fish and hunt to live these days anyway?

The natives in the north as we can't get the food to them as the ice road is not frozen . Or they get food from the bush and blow the welfare food money in the casino or town somehow.
