"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
The back story is (and remember hunting is a common thing in Canada):
1. PETA types pressured the RCMP to get rid of them. 2. The Canadian hunters' associations pressured the government. 3. The government told the RCMP to not buckle. It would be bad for a Canadian tradition, hunters and the fur trade.
For once, a good Federal government inaction, as it were.
Whew!
