Canadian Tire by far. It is a little more expensive than Walmart, but to me the difference doesn't compare to the ability to one-stop shop there. I also disagree with Pigeontroller -- the CTC i shop at has a lot of top tier stuff. Its not Lebaron, but its pretty good.

No one is stopping them from charging more for their services. Its that they are making it mandatory for EVERYONE to cap it. It also has little to do with infrastructure costs and everything to do with loss of content delivery revenue. In many ways this will slow innovation (or the adoption of innovation) here.

They were profiled in the paper as being one that's getting hit by this

You guys would be better off emailing your MP than giving your name and email to a media company. Keep in mind - this likely has more to do with Netflix and movie downloads cutting into their cable/satellite businesses as it does infrastructure costs. By enabling Bell and Rogers to cap our use, they are in effect enabling them to monopolize the content-delivery business as well.

I have actually wondered about it....but 20 million pounds!?!?!?!?

Who said ANYTHING about driving? I walk out to my spot. I NEVER drive impaired. I do sometimes enjoy a beer or two on the ice, at bbqs, sporting events, and other such social engagements. Quite an enigma.

I know you (unfortunately) get to see some of hte uglier situations life has to offer (and likely less than pleasant people), but come on man. I think you'll find most people are pretty responsible. If you ever see me at a bbq or something with a beer in my hand, please don't think i'm a likely criminal.

"most" who drink, drink and drive? Is that honestly how you see the world?

Yet to get a ticket, but if you call people doofusses for bringing a beer on an evening troll I guess I'm a doofuss. (and proud to be it).

Think i'd rather get a ticket than have all of our beer dumped.

Didn't mean smashed.....i don't want to carry that much beer with me anyway (too heavy). But 3-4 over an afternoon isn't going to hurt me (or others).

This has been my experience as well -- have often had police drop by while i'm fishing (including last year) and didn't seem to care that i had a beer. Good chat about the lake/ice/etc and they went on their way. Nice guys just checking in. Someone told me its been a big deal this year (hut to hut, like Wayne said)...as though it changed.

I understand if people are being yahoos and disturbing others or endangering themselves.....but going hut to hut to lay tickets seems pretty overboard to me. Especially for huts where you stay overnight.

Okay - has enforcement of this picked up recently, or have I just been lucky? Never had an issue...though not on super busy lakes either.

Probably a stupid question, but heard a story today that surprised me. Is it illegal to have a beer inside an ice hut? I know its illegal to have an open beer while fishing outside a hut....but always thought you were fine inside as long as you weren't driving. Is it - yes or no?

Suspect htey'd have separated themselves eventually. Shooting beside their heads and having a dog in their face may have been more of a stress.

It was an awesome tribute. You can hear it in his voice as well. Really sad what happened to that young family.

You're right Mike - i did misunderstand. Thought the original post was about design rip-offs. TI is definitely not expensive. As for their stuff....even if its better-built, the designs are total rip-offs. Hard to believe he can stay in business without being sued.

I don't agree with this at all. There some really fantastic lure innovations, and there are some really unique and highly refined takes on traditional styles. Just saying there are rip-offs. Tackle Industries apparently makes really high quality baits (in some cases better than the originals). Doesn't mean they're not ripoffs.

Ever been to Tackle Industries website? King of the rip-offs.

I figured the lemonade comment would make it obvious.

It was sarcasm, my friend. Sarcasm.

A better question - what percentage of guys sitting in their cars in parking lots are doing something wrong? 1 in 20 thousand?

Curious -- what % of people you question in parking lots (during daytime hours) are doign something wrong?

Its suspicious. Don't you get it? If you're sitting in a car you are probably up to something. Same as if you see someone drinking a lemonade in a park. Likely a troublemaker.
