Ya, OK, but the ice fishing in Florida stinks!!

LEAF ME ALONE!!!! MY BRANE's BEEN BROKED BYE COVID!!!! 😜 😜 😜

Looks like you are staying close to shore 😊

Ahhh bacon fat, my secrent ingredient in my home made bread 😊 3 nice loaves uses 4 cups all pourpous flour and it is so easy. Now i prefer the smaller loaves because I keep giving some away but the process is the same you just have to adjust the cooking time😊

I run cloth masks as our infection rate in the NWT is so low (we've only had 26 cases since last March) but I do have a box of 3M N95 masks I use when out of the territory. I have been travelling to Edmonton for tests and treatment for COVID related symptoms since I got it a year ago (before testing and the pandemic was even declared). Should be getting my first vaccine shot before the end of the month if all goes to plan. Then off to Edmonton first week of February for cortisone shots in my back. I have bad disks and bad arthritis. I think all the work building my cabin may have had something to do with it.

I’ve been working on my ice fishing sled and have it just about ready to go. Now we need this lockdown to end so I can head north to use it

And so here are a couple pictures from today. Brussels sprouts are NOT on offer..... 😄 My latest batch of smoked cured side bacon (made from pork bellies) turned out mighty awesome: And it turns out that an older lady who is a friend of my wife, really likes the soup I sent her when she was feeling a bit down. She bakes her own sourdough, and has a friend who keeps free-range hens. BONUS!!!!

Thats what i was trying to say.. but im no wordsmith lol

So if I rent a motorHOME I can go wherever I like. Nice! 😁 Its my belief that law enforcement is looking for some basic common sense and they are leaving this fairly ambiguous on purpose. So when in doubt, don’t. I would not hesitate to drive North, alone, with a truck loaded with ice fishing gear. It’s impossible to legislate every possible scenario involving travel purposes so they throw out the scare and hope most people just err on the side of caution and stay home. Imho of course.

See and I was thinking these viewpoints are probably being expressed privately already. But if they are continually suppressed, never given the light of day, that leads to an "open letter"

Yet under your avatar picture it says Administrator twice and if you click on the button right at your picture it says your a Moderator, so I'm sure that's where the confusion came from.

It's coming. You just need a little patients. https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/winter-weather-pattern-forecast-january-2021-usa-europe-fa/?fbclid=IwAR1aWohcm39C4pw7R46lV0JXR_pwEJ8o917PA8HcCnI7hzWORT8vPCJC1Ak

So I guess this is the question. Is Ford his boss? Or are the people his boss? I know many people feel the points Baber made are bang on. If many people feel this way why can that viewpoint not be expressed?

Agreed, scary... you cant dare have another viewpoint on this whole thing, in my opinion the lockdown effects are just as bad as covid or worse in the long term... A lot of all of this doesn't make any sense and your wrong it seems if you question it.

I as of last March I have been in contact with two other people other then the people In my household I have not been to any gatherings, weddings or anything we get our food and other things delivered or curbside pick up i have not been to a job or a tackle store and all this even when there was no lock down I have been to a gas station I wipe things down pay at the pump buy in bulk for my toys and wipe must down when done I am one of the most careful people in Ontario but I go fishing when I want and that is not a loophole it’s legal if you don’t feel comfortable doing it don’t But don’t try to make me feel bad doing it hell it’s been almost a year without fishing with a friend in my boat atv or skidoo

My view on do's and don'ts is a little different. Everyone is looking for loopholes to carry on with their regular lives. We have a Federal government that tells us to stay home yet allows plane load after plane load to arrive at our airports simply telling those on board that they must self isolate? If those who choose to fly are that self entitled what makes us think that they will voluntarily quarantine? Since Jan 1 thirty (30) planes arrived in Canada with passengers that had Covid-19. We have a Provincial government that rather than doing what they should have done many months ago played the political two step and look where that has got us, a proverbial poop show! They now have declared a state of emergency with regulations that are unenforceable. It's a fact that Covid-19 does not get on a plane or in a car or on a snow machine. It needs a carrier, WE are the carrier. It did not enter nursing homes to infect our loved ones by osmosis, WE took it in getting infected elsewhere in the community. Let's be honest with ourselves, unless you get tested constantly, most of us have no idea if we are an asymptomatic carrier spreading Covid-19 wherever we go. It appears as though based on the current level of vaccination it will be a year before everyone is vaccinated. I guess STAY HOME is the one thing that WE can all do to help the cause. If WE don't move around it can't!
