"How about on this thread we adress the call to sign a petition. If this thing would make a differance in stopping MA etc from becoming ilegal I would sign it in a second"

==I dont think this new law makes anything illegal " per se" -in some many words. At least as I understand it.
What this proposed law does do, as I understand it,is to put certain Indian Lands and military bases under the jurisdiction of this discredited and untrustworthy commission in Calgary which has brought Muay Thai to a halt in Calgary.

But, as it presently stands now , CAKMA was finally able to resume the great international fight cards Mr Miles used to schedule in Sun Centre, because the commission has no authority (at present) on Indian lands to regulate them out of business. And thats GOOD!! And it should remain that way for two reasons:

1. The Indians should remain free to make their own decisions and retain their sovereighty over their own land. And, that is reason enough to oppose this power grab by tjhe commission.

2. Promoters should have the right to put on shows unhindered by petty, vindictive, fly specking commissioners motivated by a petty grudge.

But, now the commission apparently can't stand the fact that somebody is having an event that they can't interfere with and hinder. So they are pushing for this ridiculous law placing ALL of Canada under the control of a commission.

That's the issue. Please read the petition-the link is in this thread. Then, Sign it- so we can resume the great fight cards we used to see three times a year in Calgary.

What the petition does, is to EXEMPT our sport from the authority of this proposed new law, which would empower the Calgary commission to once again start harrassing promoters for petty personal reasons .==


"How ever only and idiot would sign before knowing what its about."

===Actually, Mr Brackenberry, only an" idoit" (sic) would raise that as an issue when the link to the petition is right here in this very thread for anyone to read-assuming they CAN read, are willing to read, and sincerely want to know what it says. Selah...
Have a nice Canada Day! =
