Ok

Just one post!

First and foremost this is nothing to do with Mr. Miles other than we have two different opinions. Thats what this board is for. Miles is without a doubt the best M.T. Trainer Canada has ever had, he has put on fantastic events for many years and his athletes are respectfull and do us proud.

As I have always said on here for me if you hide your identity I will not take you seriously as I will assume you have a conflict of interest. This is my right on the board please prove me wrong. Talk to me as a person and state your opinion, I may dissagree but that will be alright too. People can agree to dissagree with out all the B.S.

Dan you have worked closley with Mr Miles for a long time and I personally feel your motives may be suspect. I remember reading a post (another board) from you that put a veiw forward to portray you and a supposed legal clerk in the States had a good understanding of Canadian law and the issues surronding fighting legalitys in Canada. You do not in my opinion based on what you presented. Have you been a matchmaker in the past for any one in Canada and if so how many times and for who?

Your claims about the Commission I sit on are rediculous and comepletly unsabstantiated in my personal opinion. Interference and hinder and the like, just words Dan! Again as I have said from the beginning I will not disscuss paticulars of the Commission on which I sit. You can see Mr. Miles does the same.

Next I love to hear people quote only a small part of the code and give an opinion to others based on that. Mr. Miles has done around 300 cards and done them well in my opinion, illegal in any way I do not think so.

What I am asking is for all to be informed plain and simple. I don't need to be reresented as bad for sport because I disagree with anyones personal opinion. Also represented with qualities by individuals with the wrong facts. I know the job I do to make sport happen not make it not happen. I serously doubt those who post against me here have a clue.

It would have been easy to sit back and not post on this subject knowing I would take a bunch of flack from the same few individuals that run at me with wild claims anytime I post on such subjects. You may be used to having people think of your tactics as effective, I perceive them as mere spin as I have mentioned before.

In the end Mr. Miles may be right, I will not say I know every detail of what the situation is across Canada. But I have the right to express myself and my opinions just as he has.

I know if handled right (included in the code) Ontario will see for the first time MMA and Pro Muay Thai. This is where section #83 has been used in Canada in the past to prosocute parties that put on fights. It's the only place to my knowledge it has ever been used to stop any cards in the last 8 years. Ask those groups there which tact they think is right. They have been the ones not allowed to do cards. Not Alberta, B.C, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and so on.

Section #83

I beleive I am familiar with this section of the code and personally more importantly how it is interpreted and enforced in Canada. This is in fact what is not rocket science, any lawyer here can tell you the current status and how it is enforced and when it was last enforced, Dan!

Dan, the Criminal code of Canada is not being manipulated by a person connected to the Calgary Commission to think so would be in my opinion absurd. The way National code changes happen are not going to be manipulated so easy. WOW are those Commissions ever powerfull, all you have to do is sit on one and you can change Canadian law, right!

In my opinion as a person not someone in the industry I recomend this.

If you want your Sport to be legal get it included in the code, this is the only way to ensure it's future in Canada. Some have the opinion to have a sport excluded will do this, I personally do not. Make the changes to the Commissions and the code both if you want, do it right. Do not have any conflict in the sport happening and get involved this is the way to make things happen, not slinging crap at some one Dan!.

These are two different aproaches and as I said there are various opinions on the proper tact to take, I am simply putting another option forward. I do know there are many groups here in Canada that have been working to finally getting sports made legal, not to stay illegal as they have in the past.

Standardization across the board in Canada in a responsible manner will ensure a bright future. Ultimetly as long as these sports and the sports emerging in the future have the right tact I will support it. Either way!

I wish all those involved in these sports and I mean all good luck finding the road to success in these manners.

Brad why not get your sport in the code and included, what would that hurt? Really!

Unfortunetly as with the last post I did where I questioned such or was wrongly slagged to be the bad boy by those not knowing what they were talking about this will be my last post on this. As my friend Garry use to say "Are you a man or a mouse".

Don't be a sheep make a qualified opinion for yourself when and if you do stand up and say it.

Remember this is my opinion and not yours.
