I agree that the province needs to investigate the issue of cormorant spread and their associated impacts within Ontario, however, let us not trick ourselves by classifying this species as a game bird. Cormorants are one of the most foul species of bird to consume and are incredibly unpalatable. How can the province knowingly allow the harvest of this species as a "game bird" when they know full well that the carcasses of this species will be littering shorelines and roadsides as they are dumped by so called "hunters." Lets call it like it is... a cull to protect local habitat and not a hunt to access a new food source.
