Mr. Speaker, Claims · 106 wordsthe RCMP is the government’s mandate.¹ There is a blockade on public infrastructure and public land blocking licensed hunters during a short hunting season.² Some of these hunters have waited years for this opportunity. Canadians have a charter right to freely travel, ³and there is no provincial designation restricting access to Crown land or the roads in the area in question.⁴ The RCMP will not deal with it, likely because the NDP minister in Manitoba and the Liberal minister here in Ottawa condone the blockade.⁵ These are the same Liberals who are hell-bent on taking away our hunting rifles and our right to fish for salmon. The question · 12 wordsAre they trying to take away our right to public land too?

What the tags mean

Signal · 100

Nothing lost points on Signal.

Relevance · no score

Not applicable: nothing to answer. Excluded from the average.

Respect · 100
