Ever emergency in the next 24 hours will initially be reported as a possible secondary attack.

The pictures show two different locations. Unlikely it was just an accidental explosion from a restaurant.

Occupy MEC...

Guess what happens to the small towns that rely heavily on traffic generated from travelers that go through the east gate if there was a blockade? Towns like Apsley, Bancroft, Whitney would all stand to lose a lot. Having the FN's control the land at the gate is big trouble IMO. To be honest, extending there land treaties I am totally fine with, but messing with the Park that almost every single one of us grew up going to is real bad news.

Wouldn't it be a better solution if they just allowed members of the public to use gill nets for personal harvest instead of just allowing people to use one fishing rod? After all its the fisherman that are the problem.

Thanks CH, I wasn't too surprised that some folks here were offended by a guy doing some demo with a sledge.

Pulled the lag bolts out first, all that were left holding it to the wall were concrete nails. I guess a giant crane might have been able to lift it up, but wow what a price tag. Stripping it apart would have been far more dangerous imo as going on it with only two 4x4's hold it up that were in questionable condition was not something I wanted any part of.

Yah, honestly it looks a lot closer than what it was. Just standing I was about 4 feet away from it. I think I should have just lobbed a big cinder block at the leg instead. I was a bit surprised at how fast it came down though. I hope if anyone takes anything from this, they should go check out there deck this spring before the summer season starts. don't take any chances. The top can look good but underneath can be rotted to sponge. Half of it as mentioned came down under the load of snow. Fortunately no one was hurt when it came down.

Obviously I told tem to use different contractors than from the first time. I never hear of using 4x4's on such a big tall deck. Anyway. I told them to just build a smaller one with 8x8's. I guess I have a few weekends of cleaning up now for me unfortunately.

Shoulder to shoulder puck was only a few inches off his stick. Great hit. Can hardly wait for the playoffs. Btw what exactly have the sens done in the last 48 year? I mean other than lose every play off series to the leafs.

Just one? Start a list and pick a date. Everyone knows petitions and letters fall on def ears. Sometimes you need to actually stand up.

Aren't most of you complaining the ones that voted the liberals in? I know I didn't vote for them.

The public in general don't care or even know about this. Few if any, including most here on this site will do much more than complain or sign a meaningless online petition.you can bet if the govt was proposing to take land away from the FN's that they would be organized into protests and riots. This will go through with little organized opposition. Its unfortunate.

How many non natives here would actually join in on a march, a rally, a sit in, or a protest?

Also took a tent trailer to the dump that was when I was living in gravenhurst though.

As for the build it was put up by contractors and the new one will also be put up by contractors.

Why what's wrong with knocking the deck out the same way the rest of it fell? The lag bolts were pulled prior. So no worries about the bricks being ripped out... even though they didn't rip the bricks out when the snow knocked the rest of it out.sure it would have been nice to have some more pulling power but it needed to come down and was far less safe to let it sit like that up. I guess it would been nice if it was possible to get say a skid steer or something but given the location its not possible to get in the back yard.

Put up some stairs by door after, new deck is going to be put up when the ground dries a bit. A come along would have been good if I had one. Sometimes you just gotta make do with what you got. Was pretty amazed at how rotted the cedar got after 15 years.

Well that last big snowfall brought down part of my parents deck so I had to go up to there place and help clean up. Now I am not too sure how you are supposed to do it, but this worked out pretty good. A little notch on the posts, and sledge hammer. Now I certainly wouldn't recommend doing it like this but it sure came down.

No but you can at balsam as well. However they told me its not a good idea as people steal stuff from the boats. Better to find one with room to park the boat in the campsite.

I think Bettman would actually die if it was ever an all Canadian cup final. or even worse an all Canadian conference finals.

I would really like to see the jets in the playoffs.

Yep and the best part is a win by Winnipeg over florida tomorrow and a loss by the sens to phil (awesome at home this year) puts the sens out of a playoff spot. I might even watch a sens game on purpose. Haha

Haha, good game against the rangers against tonight. Going to overtime. A couple slow times through the game.

I am pretty sure I mentioned a week ago this road rip will break the sens. They are a horrible road team. still 3 more losses to look forward to matt... Better hope you aren't looking at a bunch of blue in front of you.

I use a St.Croix Premier Light action with a 1000 series Symetre. Love it. I guess those of you using ultralights must catch small crappie. haha I can't imagine an ultralight. Have caught at least a thousand crappie with this combo. I use 4 or 5 pound mono for line.

The leafs have 2 games against Montreal remaining. A sweep of those would be awesome. imagine a Montreal/Toronto first round?

Comparing the jagr and iginla trade....

Jagr: Recorded over 600 assists in Pittsburgh, thanks to his uncanny ability to always feed the puck to the Penguins' best players.

Iginla: Must have a similar talent, since he was only in Pittsburgh for one period before the Penguin's best player was fed a hockey puck.
