    What about a ships ballast? What about mandatory washing of boats when changing water bodies? There seems to be opinions of other provinces banning live bait. Well I live and fish here. I don't care about other provinces and what they have done. Look ok I get the spread of invasive species. It has to stop. I get it. But the major players and money makers get to keep doing it while the small guy has to start proving where he bought bait from. I get the water shed stuff but this two week thing is over the top.

    Paranoia is always a good way to increase donations. ~s You do realize that live bait bans are in effect in BC and Alberta. Anglers in these two provinces are doing pretty good and seem to understand the reason for the laws that forbid live bait. They are not just duped stooges who are blind to the political tactics of rabid conservationists. Bobber Down.. I appreciate your candor and your concern for the whole angler culture. But when we attribute evil motives to people with a different agenda than ours and publicly smear them accusations of conspiracies and collusion with authorities, we have already lost the war. I suggest you sit down and befriend an "anti" and try to understand why they are entitled to have the opinions they do as fellow Canadians. Try to find some common ground. The world is not just black and white.

    and the bait issue is not the only threat to our sport. This agenda from conservation groups/anti's is looming on the horizon. "Body of evidence strongly suggests that fish are sentient and the evidence that they are capable of feeling pain in a manner similar to humans is gradually mounting."

    "ignore the opinion of anyone" - Not anyone, just conservation groups/anti's. "the opinion of bait harvesters and retailers on the question of bait management" - Their opinions don't matter. The decision has already be made. The hoops just have to be jumped though. "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" - When I get mounted I expect to get a spoonful of sugar. It helps make the medicine go down. WCS Ultimate Mandate/Objective: Ban all live bait in Ontario. They also want to take demerit points off your license for infractions: Implement a provincial demerit point system for infractions. Why should we listen to anything this group/anti has to say. They are not our friends.
