Akalia, The reality is most other countries(with seal populations) kill the seals also, as they breed like rabbits. Only they are ‘culls’, and everything is wasted. In Canada the fur, and meat is used(ie: not wasted).

Not to mention the whole notion is arbitrary, the value of a cute seal vs an ugly pig(One of the smartest animals), or calf/chicken.

Young offenders acts hides peoples names from the press and makes it illegal to name criminals for fear they might be persecuted later in life(That should be the least of their problems). 16 year old immigrant(kick him and his family out) stabs a 20 year old in chest in his car for 'looking at him funny' as the brat walks by. Gets 10 days in jail and eventually let off with time served/probation. Reference: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/9016218.html Backup

Canada requires a radio license to use Marine VHF radio. “subject to a $5,000 fine and up to 12 months in jail for use without a Maritime Restricted Radio Operator’s Certificate”.
Yet our neighbors to the south know better and no licensing is required for 300 million of their citizens, without I might add any significant problems.

Also when Americans visit or boat in Canadian waters they are not required to have a license themselves, which only punishes the locals.

ie: More burden/cost/bull shit for being Canadian.

Canada could have had it all! American Technology. British Culture. French Cuisine. Instead they got the worst of it all. French Technology. British Cuisine. American Culture.

Canada even regulates what you can call your business: “The Partnership Business Name Registration Act (the act that governs partnership/sole proprietorships and business names) requires both distinction and description. A name submitted for registration under that act will be rejected if it does not somehow contain both description and a clear distinction.”
%uc$ing fascists. This means you can’t call your business “Spots” or “Whatever” unless you add a description “Spots Shoes” “Whatever Investments”. To name a company “Mcdonalds” or “Google” you would have to trademark the name, increasing naming costs by about 7x(yearly).

Lobster fishing licenses are only for commercial fishers, and a citizen can not fish and eat any lobsters for themselves. The reason the government gives, is to control stock, but in Maine, citizens can get personal licenses and fish for their own supper, with no apparent effects on stock.

IMO Citizens should have the right OVER commerical fishers. Don’t even get me started on wtf Canada did to “help” the COD stocks.

Canadian businesses are often given monopolies, for example propane companies in Nova Scotia(maybe elsewhere?) are allowed to not sell you propane unless it is in a tank they own/lease you. $120+- a year for the tank to hold propane that you buy (at greatly inflated prices from taxes). That really adds up, figuring a propane tank costs at the MOST $500 new, 20 year life of a tank thats $1900 per household they can extort.

How about most of the homes in Atlantic Canada are heated by foreign oil, when the natural gas(sabel island) that could be used to heat the maritimes for centuries is being sold and piped THROUGH Canada directly to the states(at no real benefit to citizens).

In canada you must build to National Building Code of Canada 2005 specifications which the government makes themselves and charges you $190 for paperback $350 for digital version of the information... So your tax money pays so they can enforce and make rules, then the government charges you for access to the rules. eMule has .pdf versions of Volume 1 & 2 for download. If your money paid to make it, is it wrong to possess a copy yourself?
