For Immediate Release:

OTTAWA - Recently, there have been misleading stories from various media sources regarding a petition presented in the House of Commons to recognize Bigfoot as a protected species.

On March 28, 2007, Mike Lake, MP for Edmonton - Mill Woods - Beaumont tabled in the House of Commons a petition brought forward by one of his constituents. This constituent had collected signatures from a few hundred individuals, the vast majority of whom reside outside Mr. Lake’s constituency. The petition was deemed by the House of Commons’ Clerk of Petitions to be in order.

“I take seriously my responsibility to represent all of my constituents, regardless of whether or not I agree with their views. If a legitimate petition is brought forward by one of my constituents and deemed to be in order, I feel it is my duty to table it in the House.”

At no time did Mr. Lake speak in the House of Commons regarding the petition. At no point has Mr. Lake indicated his support for this petition.

Apparently some folks in the Edmonton area got together and did a petition asking for Bigfoot to be a protected species. Mr Lake submitted it to parliament, and it was accepted for consideration. No word on the vote.

This is causing some problems for Mr Lake on both sides of the fence. Some of his peers are being rather idiotic, and treating this (And Mr Lake) as nonsensical. To which Lake replied, that he did not believe in Bigfoot, which of course irked those who submitted the petition.

Kudos for representing this constituency even though the cause wasn't something he personally could get behind. And as for the no win situation--well, welcome to the world of crypto, Mr Lake!

Our thanks to Robin Bellamy for the above!
