‘No property is more valuable than a human life:’ Leaders respond to SARM
Government and First Nations leaders are continuing to react to a resolution calling for more property and self-defence rights for people living in rural Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) passed the resolution Tuesday, instructing SARM to lobby the federal government to expand the rights of property owners to allow them to protect themselves, their family and their belongings from intruders.
The resolution, proposed by the Rural Municipality of Kindersley, passed with 93 per cent support.
“I think the rural people feel pretty much defenceless,” SARM president Ray Orb told radio host John Gormley Wednesday.
