  1. I can see the logic , as a guide / dock attendant at Chaudiere Lodge for some years (early 90's) , I've had my share of unintentional plunges.

     

    One in particular comes to mind , I was moving Cedar Strips around all morning (20) getting things ready for guests arriving at 2pm , a guest from the previous week had hit a rock and cracked the casing on a 20 Yamaha, I brought the boat to dock and took off the motor , stood up and swung the motor onto the dock , I had forgot to tie up the Cedar :(

    The Cedar went out from under me and I stepped into 4' of water , soon to find a 20Hp Yamaha hitting me in the head and knocking me out , falling on my legs and pinning me underwater against a dock pillar , luckily a staff member was there to drag me out ... had I had a PFD maybe things would've been different... either way, I'm glad Dave was there.

  2. I administer meds everyday , there's the 3 Rs when dispensing an Rx , Right med , Right person , Right way ( IM , Per Os , SL ) etc ... who ever you met at the counter didn't do their job ... I'm glad for you that it didn't adversely affect your spouse's health ... I have horror stories to tell about med errors .

    Who to tell ... Who do you tell ? It's been a question of our for years .

  3. I have a few angles , but have never owned one.

     

    A) From behind the parts counter ; for the limited amount of Ravs we have here in Sturgeon , I'll bet that I've seen everyone of them , from ball joints to wheel bearings and terrible brakes and exhaust, and a lot of parts can't be had in the aftermarket , Altrom or Beck Arnley ( Import aftermarket suppliers ) don't even service them , but ...

    like most Toyotas the powertrain is pretty darned near bulletproof ( except the iForce 5.7)...but ( I can't believe I'm gonna say this ) for every Rav4 , I've seen 5x more, Compasses,Torrents, Vitaras, Escapes , Tributes, CRVs, Rios and XTrails..

     

    2) My friend has one ( his wife ) we ( him and I) take it occasionally to go down to Toronto, not so good on gas as we thought , probably 30$ difference between the Rav and my Expedition , It's sorta capable off road , but is very light and wobbly in a crosswind and oncoming big rigs... they've had most of the problems listed above , and some rust issues ... they've never touched the drivetrain and at just about 350,000K doesn't burn a drop of oil.

     

    I personally would go a little bigger ....

  4. I agree about the puzzle analogy ...

    The black waterfowl has to go .

    Traité rights are beyond Provincial jurisdiction .

    Agriculture is a must but is extremely harmful.

    Old School retirees need education .

    New anglers should be offered a course.

    Promoting alternate palatable species would help.

    Tourism dollars are a required income .

    Stocking is essential .

    Added enforcement would be nice .

    Show me the money .

     

    My opinion on the majority of factors at play .

     

    My 2¢.
