    Not to nitpick but they still spray for noxious weeds around here. The wild parsnip invasion is going full bore here and Lanark County sprays county roads to try and control them. Residents are allowed to opt out of the spraying but they are expected to control them on their own in the ditches and if they don't they lose their opt out options. It's not blanket spraying though, they actually target individual plants but only within the 66ft wide road allowances.

    Almost all field crops are still sprayed as well, millions of acres with both herbicides and pesticides.   The only spraying that was stopped was for residential ornamental use but that made people feel good...I guess it worked.

    so does that mean that filleting fish on board a boat and throwing them over into lake is now illegal 

     

    This new regulation is under the "Possession and Use of Bait" section of the regulation so I can't see how it would preclude you from disposing of 'offal' into the lake as it was done in the past.

  3. Got one last kick at the can for musky this week after a poor outing last week and managed to get both Alex and Bruce their first ever muskies. Bruce's was a 47" fatty and Alex's fish was 44". Got one more 37" as well. All were caught early in the day and things died off after about 10:30. Fish were all caught in the lake but we took a couple of river runs as well without success. Fantastic weather for November but I think that will be it for my season.

    That is definitely a 'no-go' zone along the wall for sure!  I always try to leave them lots of room since we have the whole rest of the river but sometimes traffic forces you within range and then you best keep your head up (or down maybe is more accurate).

  5.  Nice fish Dan!  Ian at http://www.fishlsc.com is a great operator and has been extremely helpful in getting us on fish and also getting me pointed in the right direction setting up my boat and tackle.  We have fished musky with him the last two years on St.Clair & the Thames and are now doing fairly well on our own but we still plan to do more with him next year.  He does Detroit River in the spring for walleye as well so we're planning on a 'refresher' day with him then too.

    It's called government math, they'll figure out a way to apply the proverbial screwdriver to you.  Now it doesn't matter what time of day you do laundry, dish wash or cook, you're getting hosed.

    If you're stuck at home and want use power during the peak hours, you're saving 8 cents/ kwh.....all depends on your situation I guess.

    Has any one noticed the LARGE CHARGES on you hydro bill that Ford said would help because more people are home.  OLD RATES were.....Off Peak...6.5 cents per Hr....Mid Peak ...9.4 Cents on Peak...13.2 cents..... Now all 24/7 as of June 1st .....12.8 cents per Hr..... Where are they SAVING US MONEY ?????? 

    What do you think ???

    Where did you get your old rates?    Nov 2019 rates were 10.1/14.4/20.8 respectively.  If you do the time weighted math, it works out to 12.8 c/kwh.  Not sure how this really helps but anyway.....

    Could be a while.

    The border into the NWT is still closed off to you germy Southerners!!! 😜

    I guess that's understandable....we are a motley bunch down here.  Maybe an airdrop from the Beaver would work once the ice is out??

    lol I know my post makes me seem like im very much "asking for a friend" but I actually am...Im not a hunter and the only time i shoot is occasionally with the 22 at the lake for some targets. Typically though even that I just bring out the pellet gun. The guns around my place were just passed down from my grandfather on the farm. Everything we have is bolt action oldschool boring stuff, no scopes, pump action etc.

    No, that wasn't my point, I want you to post the picture you sent me with the 3 Rugers....LOL!

    Not OK anymore, the Mini 14 is now on the prohibited list including the Mini 30 , it used to be unregistered, I used one with a 20 round mag for some coyote hunting before the mag restrictions.

    Okay maybe that is a bad example then but there are others that this situation still applies to.....I think you realize that too Dave.  

    I want @AKRISONERto post the one he has.....go ahead, I double dog dare ya!

    I am not sure.  It would be more logical to make them illegal; but the government is not always logical.

    Overcapacity magazines were "prohibited devices" already for all centre fire rifles and handguns.  They are allowed for rimfire rifles only.  There was lots of publicity about this in regards to some the .22 rimfire mags such as the Ruger 10/22 and Mossberg 715T high cap mags.  These were allowed in Canada at one time but became prohibited basically overnight because somebody built a handgun that they would fit in.  Since they now fit a handgun, unbeknownst to thousands of innocent owners, they suddenly became felons for owning prohibited devices without notice or any sort of an amnesty period.

  13. Well all I can say is that I'm very relieved that the gang bangers who are the root of the gun problem will now have to turn in their Klyukva Rocket Launchers and Russian Artillery M1942 Anti-Tank Guns.   I guess we'll be much safer now that they're stuck with their illegally obtained revolvers, 9mm lugers, and glocks. 

    Thanks for your strong stance and protecting us Justin but if you really think this is any sort of solution to gun crimes, you're kidding yourself and your minions.

    Section 71 of the old list.  Other service providers.. Your right Gmech, there is a lot of misinformation going around both online or on threads like this.  I’ve seen it here and on Faceboosnk.

    Here is the snip from the March 24th ON Reg 106.  Maybe it's a matter of interpretation but to me, 'pet grooming' doesn't seem to fall in the 'health and welfare of animals' section any more than a barber shop would be considered an essential 'health service' for humans.  That said, it really isn't specifically listed so I guess it's like a lot of the other things that are pretty grey....let's just leave it at that, it's pretty irrelevant anyway.  Sorry to question you.

    Are you friggin kidding me...???????

    Thats sick !!!

    I've checked the previous list and the new list top to bottom and don't believe that "pet grooming" is on either list of essential businesses...maybe on a Facebook page or something not on the government sites.   Here is an article with the old list...

    I've noticed lately that misinformation spreads at least as easily, if not more so, than covid-19 does.
