the North...3

I recently read a newspaper article that talks about the spring bear hunt in Northern Ontario, Canada.  The article, by Thomas Walkom, a news services columnist, makes it very clear that all the current decisions and those in the recent past have everything to do with political expedience and nothing to do with the long term welfare of the bear population.  

He ends the article with this statement:
“...the spring bear hunt is now back on the table...All three [political] parties know that the spring bear hunt is a foolish idea.  All three know it won’t solve the nuisance-bear problem.     
    But politically, it is the easiest thing to do.”

If the issue is the welfare of bears in a certain geographical region, Nexus will allow us to formulate an appropriate, thoughtful response that is not hijacked by political rhetoric.
Issues that require an organic/global/non-partisan approach will be reflected upon and acted upon by a system of governance that is capable of intervening at that level.   Imagine that!
