Are they the replaceable blade props?

RCMP press release including clarification of 10 & 12 gauge shotguns.

Never had or needed it. That being said you will have to ask your self, do the benefits out weight the solution/risk?

To me the major factors would be if there is pain or restrictions that effect your life without it.

Best wishes for the decision you need to make.

Wild leak...just confirming this is the same as a ramp right?

I never heard wild leeks called ramps. But could be the same thing.

They are like a green onion bulb with a garlic flavour. Flatter leaves.

I have one that I have used a few times.  They work as long as you keep them watered.

 

I tried for 2 years when I moved here. Didn't work for me.

But I can't really blame the hanging basket system. I just don't get enough direct sun light.

Got tomatoes but couldn't get them to ripen.

As I'm south of you maybe I should start checking it out.

With the generally dry spring we have had in southwestern Ontario were the wild leeks early or later this year?

I have to believe every boater looking for an open ramp knows that

But as  marinas ramps open we all hope the municipalities see the light and open them too

Terry I wish you were correct but I see many posts on here and other sites trying to put the blame squarely on the province for all the ramp closures.

 I heard that Premier Ford has allowed marinas to start preparing for the season.

 I hope that means public launches are next 

Unless in a marina or provincial park in most cases the public launches have not been shutdown by the province.

That is on the local governments.

Hope your looking for future trips.

Too early to see leaches in bait shops yet.

MJIG what you posted is correct.

But there are still places outside the restricted fire zones which don't have fire bans.

I can have one were I live.

That's not true.

Like I said it was a guess. *If* the GRCA authority controls the river they would likely be able to restrict access.

I called and spoke to people at three different Government agencies to make sure I could fish where I was intending to fish on opener.

Just because a Conservation Authority controls a river system doesn't = the whole river is in a Conservation Area.

I thought Ontario has almost 16000 cases and almost 10000 deaths 

seems like one in sixteen is fatal 

 

Terry that's only based on confirmed deaths with a confirmed infection.

They are not testing everyone by far.

Those effected without symptoms unless working with or exposed to a confirmed infected  person do not get tested. 

No way to confirm a percentage of those infected that die.

Information is just not there.

That is fine, it is still a minuscule number.

 

I concede that I was wrong on the decimal point.  Yay for y'all.

But the .0136 is the percentage of death for the whole population not the percentage of those infected which would be far higher.

But we have no way of determining how many were/are infected as there isn't wide spread testing.

I agree with those saying .0136.

And the ticket would only say it was for violate an order under the current laws.

And I should believe you because "he talked to them" when the OPP are stating otherwise? 

IIRC you've been the one telling everyone to stay at home but somehow justifying why your at your cottage.

Some years back OPP out here were ticketing owners of vehicles that had the hitch balls on their vehicles and still do I'm sure. It is not against the Hwy Traffic Act to travel with the hitch ball on a vehicle. I am regularly reminded I'm breaking the law from some citizen with good intensions.  

Leaving in the hitch and ball isn't an offense as long as it doesn't obstruct the viewing of the licence plate.

Mine is usually left in on my jeep. But my licence plate isn't obstructed by it.

I talked to, from a distance, a busy body guy who lives up here in Haliburton and knows a lot of cottagers, he's heard of 3 incidents of cops pulling over cottager's cars on hwy 35 and telling them to go home, 2 refused and got $750 tickets  

Sounds like another "I was told by a buddy who was told by a buddy" story especially since the OPP have stated they are not doing this.

What is the acronym LTC stand for?

LTC = long term care.

Yep, posted today. Should help further divide an already divided community. 

My exact thoughts.

But worse is it isn't all the locals but some of those with the influence.

Hey irishfield did you hear the newest from the Municipality of Temagami?

All municipal boat launches and parking area's closed to recreational and non fulltime residents.

Don't completely take my word for it.

Maybe others have different experiences than me.

Grand Bend isn't a hot spot for walleye but some are caught in much deeper water. But not a spot if your looking for high numbers of walleye.

They may be suspended.

Can you catch them closer to shore? Sure but they won't be plentiful.

The river at Grand Bend isn't known for a large run of walleye.

Most fishing in that area is done much further off shore.

And during warm weather that close to shore would be a zoo with non fishing traffic.
