Dr. Mike Howlett of the Colchester Regional Hospital quit a committee created to oversee changes to the use of ATVs. He quit because the committee wasn't being strict enough with the rules governing ATVs. This is clearly an man on a mission. A mission to remove ATVs from the face of the earth.

It seems very reminiscent of the childish antics several liberals pulled during the last two elections, threatening to leave the country if they lost. Again.

Anyway, the committee is comprised of off-highway vehicle enthusiasts, environmentalists, landowners and health and safety experts. I guess compromise wasn't in the good Doctor's future. So be it, and good riddance.

What they're trying to do, according to Dr Natalie Yanchar, medical directory of Halifax IWK Health Center, is ban children under the age of 16 driving ATVs "anywhere, anytime, any size. Period."

Well, Dr. Natalie, I'm holding my hand behind my back with one finger sticking up... guess which finger? (I'll give you a hint; it's NOT my Thumb!)
