A YouTube video with more than 170,000 views has spread speculation about sightings of a bull shark in Lake Ontario near Kingston, prompting a request by Natural Resources Minister, Bill Mauro, to all citizens to call authorities if they spot any suspicious fins.
In his remarks, Mauro alleged on Wednesday that “they should report any sightings of this animal and then we can take whatever steps we think are necessary.” He added that “just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water,” highlighting that “it is potentially, I guess, a very serious situation. If there is a shark in Lake Ontario we need to know about it.” He urged swimmers to “be safe” just in case. Upon inquiry about the matter on Tuesday, Interim Progressive Conservative Leader Jim Wilson could not keep up a straight face, especially when inquired if the government should send out shark-hunting crews. Wilson laughingly told the reporters that “honest to god, you’d have to ask a marine biologist. I couldn’t tell you . . . I’m barely whatever I am.”
When the question about possibility of an ocean predator swimming down the St. Lawrence River was asked from NDP Andrea Horwath, she smirked and mischievously confirmed, “bullshark?” In her reply, she alleged that “we deal with the sharks in this legislature more often than sharks in the waters here in Ontario . . . I don’t have any hesitation swimming in parts of Lake Ontario that are swimmable.”
