Dutch Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 McGuinty shuffled his cabinet today and changed the Minister of Natural Resources. Linda Jeffrey is in, Donna Cansfield is out. Jeffrey represents Brampton-Springdale. Here is a link to her biography: http://www.lindajeffrey.onmpp.ca/bio.aspx?id=biography Overwhelming outdoors experience.... Hopefully, a new perspective will mean great things for the MNR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctdd2006 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) ....missing that environment connection thing???? oops! owns a hunting dog????? Edited January 19, 2010 by ctdd2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 oops! owns a hunting dog????? Don't be so sure. I hope your right but that breed is one of the most miss breed out there now. With their popularity there's a lot of unethical breeders producing these dogs not to mention the show dog crowd who don't care about hunting qualities only physical looks. Not all of these dogs would I call hunting dogs. For a generally friendly type of dog you have to wonder why they are one of the most likely breeds to be biting people??? Lets hope this Minister will have enough respect to reply to "e" mails about subjects they would rather ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope this Minister will have enough respect to reply to "e" mails about subjects they would rather ignore. The golden is not one of the most likely dogs to bite. There is a high number of bites, but that is due, in part, to the high numbers of the dog. The golden (like all retrievers) are very mouth oriented and tend to try and snatch things as part of play. This sometimes results in accidental bitings. An aggressive golden is very rare. I do agree that back-yard breeders are a scourge on society, though. I can't see anything positive or negative the past Minister did...unless the new regs were her idea, then thumbs up...but I think that has been in the works for awhile.

capt_hooked Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Welcome to the club Linda... You've got your work cut out for you.... First suggestion: the monies collected from sport fishing licences should be used for 100% fishery management work (i.e. restocking efforts?) and not be used to pay MNR staff salaries...! Good luck! the cap't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLofchik Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I don`t know what too think I guess Premier Dad`s cupboard is pretty thin he has a lot of ministers jumping ship... That's funny, seeing as she was part of the Harris camp getting a gig on the board of Hydro One as a perk for privatizing Brampton Hydro when she was a city councillor. Then when she couldn't get the party to back her for a provincial seat she jumped ship to the Liberals. In a nutshell, another 905 soccer mom swivel servant whose qualifications involve little more than public dime patronage. Yay for the status quo in Ontario politics! I look forward to her private members bill advocating the mandatory licensing of dog walkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
