A Belleville, Ont., resident faces multiple firearm changes following an incident on the Murray Canal late last week.

Around 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 25, Quinte West OPP responded to a report of a firearm being discharged from a boat in the canal which is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Police were informed that protected wildlife was being targeted.

Police determined a firearm had been thrown into the canal. The OPP’s Underwater Search and Recovery Unit was dispatched and a firearm was recovered.

Leif Dahl, 45, of Belleville, was arrested and charged with obstructing a peace officer and careless use of a firearm, along with three charges under Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act: using a firearm carelessly to hunt, hunting a bird without a licence and unlawfully having a loaded firearm in conveyance.

The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to appear in Belleville court on Sept. 28.

This was posted on CAF reddit about this very topic and I found it very funny:

I love the saltiness towards the hockey players (Base team player myself) when getting on the mess committee is typically a much quicker path towards promotion. Don't hate the player hate the game.
