Kind of nice to see the Bruins taking it on the chin for once (PUN intended).

What a wuss!!! ? During the last Raptors game one of the GS players left because of a chest contusion. YUP, had a boo boo and got bruised so he left. That's almost as bad as soccer players!!! ?

One more thing, I check every year to see if Transport Canada has added anything to the list of "safety" items required. Couple years ago they added a real compass to the list, not GPS or phone with compass.

I thought you were referring to the PCOC: From the Government of Canada website Proof of Competency for Recreational Boaters: Replacing your Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) A PCOC is issued to a person for life. If the PCOC is lost or destroyed, the individual can request a replacement from the accredited course provider that issued the card. Course providers charge a fee for this service. If the course provider is unknown or no longer exists, the person should contact the Transport Canada Boating Safety Infoline at 1-800-267-6687 or e-mail to: [email protected]. The agent will check the individual's name against a national database of PCOC holders and then provide instructions on how to get a new card. This having been said, one of my hunting and fishing buddies was in his boat near shore on the St Lawrence, was hailed to come to shore by an OPP officer and did so, thinking there must be some issue. The officer checked him for everything including his fishing licence and PCOC. He had recorded his PCOC on his cell phone but could not find it in the phone's memory. He also received a hefty fine. The OPP officer told my buddy that there was "zero tolerance" for any infractions." So the take-away from all of this is know the regs and follow them. And no, there is no expiry date on your PCOC. But (EDIT HERE) I see that pleasure craft licences issued after 2010 are valid for only ten years> Doug

Chara is OUT! OMG Krug, Marchand, MacAvoy etc. all just shrunk 6" when it comes to scrums! No giant on the ice..... go get em ST Louiis!

Was on a fishing trip for the last four days in northern Quebec. It snowed. Report to come..... HH

Very good, will clear my 18 x 30 garage in 10 minutes when I place one unit in the middle of it. Work great as well when placed behind us when having a backyard fire. When camping, usually place 2 on either side of the main activity area and they make life so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend. Canadian Tire now sell the unit that fits on a butane cylinder, supposed to give you 140 hours of burn time.

Ballers might not be as tough as hockey players but playoff ball can get pretty rough. And they play in their underwear unlike hockey players.

I heard this year they are doing a shake down looking for everything little thing. Not including all required safety equipment but also ensuring you Federal boat license is also up to date. (10 year expiry on all licenses). Make sure everything is all compliant.

They called one evening when I was at home in the kitchen. Said my computer was sending data and messages out and needed to be fixed. I told them to wait and I would go get it. Then I listened to her for a few minutes and told her that I would make sure it would never happen again. I took a cookie sheet out and threw it on the floor with a crash and banged it around a bit. I told her I had smashed it and it would not do it again. There was a pause and then she hung up. Probably did nothing, but my wife and I had a good laugh. I have done the same thing with the duct cleaner call centres and my duck call. Its pretty funny when they try to explain that they don't mean "ducks' they mean "ducts" while I am yelling at my wife to keep them quiet while I am trying to talk to someone about getting them cleaned.
