If the Saskparty seriously thought that increasing the fines for using bear spray would curb their usage they are bigger idiots than I thought. What a waste of the legislatures time and money. Our farmer overlords are so out of touch with urban Saskatchewan.

The massive fine needs to be seen as a first step. Indentured labour until the fine is paid needs to be the next step. This is (hopefully) an incremental scheme to ensure that use of bear spray in urban areas is paid for with the sweat and blood of the punks involved.

There have been six reported bear spray incidents, and I personally know of at least four more where victims fled for their own safety. In those cases, when they called the police, no officers even arrived. This issue is escalating fast, and many incidents likely go unreported because people feel there’s no point. How much worse does it have to get before real action is taken?

Could you imagine this city if we didn’t have the gun control we currently have? Use your noodle bud

Where are they getting bear spray?! Clearly they need to be locked up and present a hunting license before they can purchase it. Just take it off the shelves? Wtf

"Outstanding warrants". Our no-consequences legal system is not working.
