I have to quote you just to say, go ahead...try it if you think you want to get that close.

From my interpretation of the article.
Fine, the MNR doesn't do bear calls anymore. So be it.
Mr McGuinty must want the cities/towns to train their police forces to handle the situation in their town so he can cut funding to pay for windmills on the Lake Superior Shoreline. That almost makes sense (except for the windmill part) because MNR standards are not flexible enough and a town could set their own and train for them.
As far as 2 bullets passing through a bear I can only think they shot it with a 50 calibre, or with a 9mm through the ear flap, or, a ricochet off its skull.
Either way the cops aren't hunters and they need some training, and I don't mean OJT.
