just a question

should the mnr give a key to the person whose traditional hunting territory lies west of the barmac gate on the red squirrel road? currently, of course, alex mathias lives past a gate on the goulard road west of obabika lake. alex has a key to this gate. however, the mnr has recently denied access to someone whose land lies beyond the barmac gate.

one might argue that this person has every right to travel the roads beyond this gate, but only by non-motorized means, just like everyone else. this is the same argument that says native people should have no limits on hunting and fishing, as long as they use bows and arrows. but if the road was built for forestry and forestry only, should anyone but forestry people have the use of those roads?

hard to see how the mnr could give a key to alex, but not to this other guy. maybe if the guy built a cabin out there, they'd have to give him one.
