RE: Proposed Changes to Seniors Licenses
If you're using a limited resource you should be paying into the conservation of said resource. Age has nothing to do with it.
I can also argue that someone who is retired is likely to be fishing a lot more often than someone who is not. I know I'd be fishing a whole lot more if I could retire tomorrow. And I'll even go so far as to say this: catch and release is a generational phenomenon, with the 'younger generations' being much more likely to engage in this activity than older folks. So yeah, if you're more likely to keep fish -- I want you to pay for a licence. Walk through any big city suburb and see all the comfortably retired baby boomers. I don't think it would be some huge financial burden to ask that they pay a licence fee like everyone else. I realize a lot of seniors are struggling to make ends meet but so are a lot of people of all ages. Roughly half of the people I see in my clinic are on ODSP or Ontario Works. I assure you seniors are NOT overrepresnted within this group. But I'm sure these proposed changes wont go through. The ever growing "Gray Lobby" wouldn't allow it. |
