If it were 1930 and the question of gay marriage or lunar research came up, we'd all be laughing.

Elected officials are suppose to represent their constituents to a degree. You can't bring up all the issues brought to you by the crack pots and wackos to Parliament. How can there be that many people in Edmonton, not BC where it is suppose to live, but Edmonton, who not only believe in the Bigfoot but believe in it enough to go an advocate it's protection? Maybe I am giving people too much credit, but I wouldn't think that there is a big enough drive for this. There must be other factors (like Daradon said, publicity).
What's next? The United States starting a man hunt for Elvis? I bet there are more people who believe in Elvis than Bigfoot. I think some common sense needs to be exercised badly. I know the minority needs a voice, but come on, it's not like someone rights are being violated or anything of significance needs to be done. Wasting time and money trying to pass a bill about a mythical animal is completely idiotic.
