The Race is On

Well like it or not Canadians are heading to the polls on October 14. That's right, the day after Thanksgiving. As users of our great Canadian outdoors heritage it is important for all of us to pay attention to the views of politicians and especially their positions - individual and collective - on the sustainable use of our wild resources.

Over the next several weeks I will report on some issues of concern and where possible the perspectives of both local candidates and national leaders. Whether you hike, camp, hunt, fish, canoe, boat, cycle or enjoy recreational power sports like ATVing and snowmobiling there are issues of concern to us all.

Be sure to visit www.sooutdoors.ca, you're best source of information related to outdoors activities in Southern Ontario. The site is still under construction but new content is being added daily. Post a comment on one of the blogs or visit the forum to discuss issues related to your favorite outdoors pastime.

Whatever your political leanings do your part by discussing the issues and above all get out and vote on October 14. If you don't vote; don't complain. The biggest threat to democracy is complacency!
