   The reason I’m asking, is because I’m wondering if there’s a correlation with the availability of good work.  If the area is economically depressed, so too are the people?   

I work in Stratford, Ont. where the unemployment rate is one of the lowest in Canada. 

Many places looking for help. 

They still have a serious drug problem there.

I agree that social/economic issues do play a role in the drug problem but it's not limited to economic depressed towns & cities.

Some places.

I can't compare our place with yours as I don't have the figures but yes we in Canada are not immune to the problem.

Really interested in the new Argo 1000. They have a factory in drumbo I believe.  Looks nice and built in Ontario. 

Factory is actually in New Hamburg unless they opened another one I'm not aware of.

And this years tally has already started.

Link lead me to a survey.

Near the bottom of the survey was a tab "Skip survey".

Then the news story appeared.

I have a 2016 Can-Am 450 Outlander  2-up. Does everything I need. 

No problems with it 3 years.

I use it for similar uses as you described.

Lake Huron was pretty rough for a few days.

Water in the river at Sarnia may be stained up.

This whole issue is a waste of money.

The costs to changing the name does nothing other than cost money not required to be spent.

Some things are better off being quietly dealt with for sure.

And after trying that (as reported) what's next?

Forecast was pretty close for where I am at.

Left work at 7 pm and there was a very stiff cross wind trying to blow me off the road.

Last 5 kms added almost zero visibility.

Still bad here.

Yes a very nice sized fish.

Congrats.

A spare drive belt & spark plugs.

Can you believe anything they say?

A year from now the jack up the price and it's either pay or good bye.

Remember too many of us got screwed over when they shut us down.

Never heard herring called chub.

When I hear chub I think of this smaller fish.

Creek chub

 I clearly remember walking out to our trucks one evening in the middle of nowhere and the OPP were there to check us out.

Not sure exactly what their legal function is with regards to game law enforcement, didn't feel it was necessary to ask the question that night.

Maybe they are using the OPP to strengthen their ranks.

Actually all police officers in Ontario by defination are also conservation officers.

They can lay charges quite legally.

 Not only Canada didn't have a draft I've read that many as young as 15 lied about their age to sign up.

 

Actually Canada did have a draft near the end of the 2nd World War. Those drafted had to volunteer to serve overseas. Many served in Canada but many also volunteered for overseas duty.

As for underage volunteers yes many lied about their age. Some as young as 13.

My father served in the Merchant Marines in WW2 & the Canadaian Army in Korea.

I served 13 years in the Canadian Forces.

Nice. Lots of future fun there.

All foul hooked fish must legally be released imediately.

Just got back from there last week.

Don't worry about deer camps. Not a deer area. Yes there could be a few but generally very low deer populations.

For camping area's look at either the sites along Red Squirrel Rd. or maybe Rabbit Lake Rd. Many nice lake front sites which don't see a lot of use this time of year.

Did you get back to Cross Lake. Great area.

We were there on Wed.

Old Ironmaker you have my sympathies for your situation.

The thing with DNR orders is they are only enforceable with written doctors orders.

Most times first responders will not have these available to them. Nor will emergency departments at hospital accept them without a written one on hand.

Bracelets or tattoo's will not meet the requirements for first responders to accept.

Lol. I looked that up last night for the kids and had to convert it to how many bathtubs of water for them to understand (about 20 from my figuring).

How big is your bath tub?

Goderich is on the Maitland River.

Not much river to boat in though and if the lake is rough you are quite limited for space.

When I worked for Upper Thames Conservation (years ago) on Fanshawe if the motor was there forget it.

All I said was confirm it's OK before assuming.

A day would be spoiled if they were turned away because they thought it was OK to find out differently.

grimsbylander that was also my guees.

Not a serious fishing place. Years back it did get a few trout stocked but no idea how recent. My guess is a few panfish.
