Arrrrgh! Ghost net found with 200 rotting fish.
blarg replied to Nipfisher's topic in General Discussion
Yep, thats right, you got me, the thought that the people we know net the lake might have left these nets in the lake was clearly racist, and not in anyway a logical extension of, idk, reality. More likely are the conspiracy theories espoused by some, anyway, you're clearly the better man what with your paternalism and what not, i acquiesce to your assessment of my character, coming from you I have no doubt that it must be correct, you have me all turned around on the subject. -

Yes of course, what are the odds afterall that the nets belong to some among the group of people who are allowed to net the lake, or who net many other lakes in the area. But of course we should give them the benefit of the doubt, and be thankful the nets we can prove they use have little tags on them to identify them, because those nets arent also destroying the fishery on the lake. Of course these nets couldn't belong to one of the many native gill netters who aren't sanctioned by the NFN, fishermen we know exist. These non commercial fisherman dont sell fish illegally just like native hunters don't sell wild game illegally. None of these things could be happening, and we must always consider that while any rational person would think it very likely that these nets belong to some in a group of known netters as soon as those netters appear to be doing something wrong we should then invent the equal possibility that someone else is in fact responsible. Yes, that all makes perfect sense. -

This is always the result whem you argue with a liberal, the only answer is dont bother, the non stop ridiculous hyperbole is impossible to break through, yes, Harper is the worse thing to happen to Canada, do you actually believe that garbage? I dont like harper much, but look around, the country hasn't changed, how weak and pathetic you must think we all are that a PM who has done nothing radical at all could so easily ruin the nation. But hey. trrops in the streets, women in the kitchen, etc etc, which ones did i miss? There really should be a test before people can vote, anyone ridiculous enough to think this pm is the worse thing to ever happen to us need not apply, what a ridiculous opinion to hold, an extremist, ridiculously biased opinion. i dont even really want to vote for harper this time, he's had his chance, but there has to be something wrong with the other guy if your indicadive of those who might support him, i would vote against that if not for harper. You rail against the oil companies, hey, there are supertankers off loading oil in the Bay of Fundy daily, to the largest oil refinery on the eastern seaboard of North America, have been for decades, but now, its the conservatives fault! it's the conservatives fault that many, many liberal governments subsidized the oils sands for decades, that's harper's fault! More pipelines? OMG, there are already thousands of miles of them, anything new must be bad and clearly harpers fault! Changes to the water act that changed nothing, provincial rules apply. christ almighty, vote for whomever you wish, but get an education. -

There was no one worth voting for, but certainly rewarding criminals should have been the last result. -

So is it good that many more bought into a party of criminals? Is that your version of an intelligent choice? When the liberals forced cut backs that resulted in the loss of 34 staff from the hospital in North Bay last week were those cuts somehow different than what Hudak might have done? It's amazing how glib people can be about an election that effectively gave a glowing endorsement to people who stole billions from us. It's all so sad. -

A clearly unbiased opinion. -
I think you just have to leave this argument up to the individual and their personal morals to decide, there isn't miuch else you can do, also, for the most part if a lure will catch a walleye, it will catch a bass, or a pike, they are just fish. If you catch a bass or two, move along, or at least you probably should, in any case I dont think the bass population is in any great danger.

Recommendation on sunglasses that truely polarized & 100% UV?
blarg replied to okumasheffield's topic in General Discussion
I dont think you need expensive glasses to get polarization or protection. You might get a clearer or more durable lens qith more expensive glasses idk, some of the cheap one i have used made as much difference on the water as the more expensive ones I have now. -

The nugget convieniently forgot to open the comments on this article, sometimes I think the Nugget has a relationship with NFN. It's not the first time they haven't allowed comments on a story about the comercial fishery. -
The mnr is working as an agent for the native fishery, that is all we are seeing with this change, allowing the small fish to go free to be caught by the commercial fishery, once they grow, putting anglers in direct competition for those larger fish with clearly inferior methods of catching them. If you aren't a commercial fisherman the government isn't concerned about you, it has been said many times, recreational non native fisherman are at the bottom when it comes to the management of the lake.

When solar or wind can provide baseload power it will be much more worth while, if a practical method of power storage can be developed solar and wind will become much more viable, until then it is more of a fashion statement, and Ontario politicians thinking so much of themselves as they do felt the need to be a world leader in green energy even if it is of no practical value to the people they serve.

Good info on Climate Change…fishing related if you join the dots.
blarg replied to limeyangler's topic in General Discussion
While i am admittedly not a huge believer in the AGW catastrophe that we hear about daily and am likely biased as a result, when i see some of the believers and the associated other conspiracy theories they hold i can only become less of a believer. This thread is embarassing. -
When you see the world through that sort of broken and biased lens you might as well not write anything more than "im a liberal", your opinions will be jsut as clear. These are minor cuts, the services will still be available, and being a veteran does not make you immune to changes in government. Not to mention of course the reason this made the news is becuase PSAC paid for veteran protestors, used them. Not that you seem to mind.
