Longueuil to move excess deer
After public indignation and even threats to the mayor, Longueuil will be moving its surplus deer rather than killing them.

You mean displace them so that they can die out of sight. They should just capture and move the entire herd.

…Rather than demolishing the golf course and bungalows beside the park to expand it. New condos and bungalows are being built into razed forests in Longueuil as we speak…

I think it is called deforestation. Apparently a phenomenon of utmost concern to us in other parts of the world , but somehow glazed over here at home

I suspect Canadians (and in this I squarely include Quebecers) always feel we have this huge piece of forested wild land at our backs, so it doesn’t matter if we chip away at it near our cities. Bogus, of course, but I know the feeling is there because I have it too.

A few years ago I had the idea of moving to the country to grow some vegetables so my wife and I drove all over the lower part of Quebec and a bit of eastern Ontario and discovered that it’s essentialy a giant parking lot for GMO corn – very depressing! Obviously further north there’s still some forests because you can’t grow corn there.

A friend lived near Coaticook, and he said in the fall when the apples were over ripe, the deer would get tipsy from eating them, a bit of alcohol content.
