Conservative MP Absent From a Child Poverty Forum in Southwestern Manitoba.
Are hungry kids a priority for the Harper government? by Larry Powell The forum (for the riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa) was sponsored by the Mission and Services Committee of the Neepawa United Church. It drew about 80 people to the church on Wednesday. But only four of the five candidates (see below) took part in the debate - Ray Piché (Liberal), Kate Storey (Green Party), Inky Mark (Ind.) and Laverne Lewycky (NDP) . The 5th candidate, the sitting Conservative MP for the area, Robert Sopuck (represented by the empty chair on the right), did not attend. His office manager in Neepawa, Christine Waddell, said he was in Inglis, a small community in the western part of the riding for the evening. She did not elaborate. But she did explain that a campaign worker was mistaken when he told forum organizers earlier that Mr. Sopuck would, in fact be there. Piché , the Liberal candidate, said the MP's absence showed “disrespect” for the rest of the candidates

This is a letter that I previously sent to the Manitoba Premier about "hunting"
when a night hunter was shot and later died of the wound (s)
Sioux Valley Man Shot While Hunting
Dear Premier Pallister.
Allowing this type of hunting to continue in Manitoba is a sad state of affairs.
A very sad but predictable ending for our wildlife.
As long as there are different hunting laws/and no laws for different people in Manitoba, this contentious
issue will continue.
Personally, I have no quarrel with First Nations people /and Metis having unrestricted hunting privileges, as their fore bearers,
"WHEN there is a desperate NEED for food and Survival". However, if they are so eager to pursue "their inherent right to hunt",
regardless of any season, time or law, the they must revert to using arrows and spears,as utilized by their forefathers.
Unless the hunting laws are changed, I am of the opinion, that it is only a matter of time that big game hunting
will be no more.The animals will eventually be shamefully exterminated. The predication, by humans, will be complete.
