nailed it !!!!
and the fur cheque goes in the wife's name

Milking the system is the Canadian way,,,,

Still need a full time income ( be it retirement/ other job/ or scamming unemployment when you are self-employed) in order afford to trap.

I'm convinced Boco is a serious trapper. I must have had one back there in the day too. I found out i got a smidgen of Cree and Ojibwe in me. Probably accounts for the same amount of French they found.

HBC did allow country wives...that would explain..some of the trapping itch
the French guaranteed way of determination is ;" if you talk and your hands wave"

Thats not "milking the system" it is the system.The system is set up to help seasonal workers.Alot of places people call home in remote Canada need that system.
We are not the USA.And never will be.

you got that right, my 49.00 mink I sold at FHA would of been worth over 400 in 1970s money. I wish I was alive to see those days

You got that right Boco
We don't have quotes on our trap lines in the US
You just don't get the true concept of being Free

You have no clue what freedom is.
No limit here on the amount of fur I can catch except my physical ability.

Freedom vs. Dependency

You wear your depends
wes independant.
Now send your yearly alaska welfare cheque to Trump to help pay for your big beautiful ballroom,lol
Or maybe tell him to use it to buy some more rockets for that war that you are losing in Iran,lol
What a bunch of dupes yall are,lol.

I'm so glad you're back Boco. Place wasn't the same without you! LOL

No limit, but you do have a quota
A regulated quota, or you can lose your trap line
How is that freedom?



No limit on the amount of fur or lack of fur I can catch
And all I need is permission from the landowner
And I have millions of square miles of public land at my disposal
Can you say the same?

Quotas are trapline specific and set by the trapper and the Fur tech for proper fur management.They are adjusted as necessary not on the price of pelts but for the management of the resource (gotta keep the line healthy)And I am the front line conservationist,no one else.And that is a responsibility I take seriously.
I can trap anywhere since there is no restriction on how many traplines I can hold or trap on with permission;.I can only trap 4 rtls nowadays since I am 70 and cant run hard like when I was young.
You see what freedom is now? I can also build cabins on my lines if I need them for harvesting fur.
And my kids can build hunt or trap camps anywhere without any permissions because they are FN.
Thats real freedom.

Alberta's hertage fund

"Closer to home, Albertans can look to the example of the Alaska Permanent Fund. The Alaska fund, also founded in 1976, was valued at over US$89 billion in early 2026.

Article content
The Alaska fund has a built-in accountability mechanism of a $1,600 cash dividend per resident. This dividend gets smaller when the fund performs poorly, an outcome managers obviously want to avoid."

Policies that classify or treat people differently based on race are incompatible with individual freedom

Boco, is a Fur tech a government biologist? Do they go over your lines with you every year or what? Do they do this with all registered lines? Just wondering.

You cannot extinguish inherent aboriginal rights no matter how much you wish you could.
Simply put,they have rights that you do not and never will,and they are enshrined in the Constitution.
Our ancestors signed legally binding treatys with FN peoples for mutual benefit.They wouldnt have been signed otherwise.We have benefitted greatly from those treatys so dont be a weasel and try to squirm out.

And that’s why Canada is the dumpster fire that it currently is
