Ministry of Natural Resources officials estimated the bear was a few years old and weighed about 150 pounds. The bear had wandered in from the forest, and was trying to getiinto a garbage shed located behind the McCausland Hospital. Officers surrounded the bear, and laid a bear trap. When the bear wouldn't go into the trap, the police tried to r yr | up because of the frost, so they come here looking for an easy meal before they go into hiber- nation," said Fenton. - Bears have a keen sense of smell, and are attracted to garbage, especially when it's left outside. "We really hate having to kill them, but we can't take any chances," said Fenton. "(The bears) are usually quite passive, but you never know." This is the second bear killed so far this year, but the first died under quite different circumstances.

Aime Bouchard said the pro- posal's promise of self-govern- ment within 10 years may sound revolutionary, but it fails to recognize rights native peo- ple have always had. "We've had the rights for hundreds of years -- we've never given up our right to sovereignty," he said. "And now they want to give it to us in 10 years?" Bouchard said he's frustrat- ed with what he perceives as a double standard in the way Quebec and natives are treated. "With this government it's Quebec, Quebec, Quebec. Well, the first nations are more distinct than Quebec." Despite taking a more mod- erate approach than Quebec in dealing with the constitution, Bouchard said natives are always considered last in con- Stitutional bargaining. "They're (the federal gov- emment).not leaving us right out of it, but they're putting us off," said Bouchard. "Maybe we should be look- ing for independence," he said. "But we're not." However, Bouchard said he will attend the federal hearings that will look at possible changes to the constitutional package. ° "After Meech, I don't think we can trust this government," Bouchard gaid. "But I'll probably still go up and say I don't support it, and tell them why."
