cormorants the scourge of the western basin of erie. they fly bye and remind me of ww2 bombers on a bombing run. hopefully more culls will happen this spring.

well dah. maybe the un-educated unemplyed folks can head out and pick wheat. heard theres lots of openings .lol.

chris s. its unfortunate your area has lost jobs. i would have rather seen it healthy. the facts are the manufacturing base is very large . in automobiles its a huge picture. . my question is where did those jobs from the eastern side of ontario go. offshore???. the economy could not withstand a wipeout of the automakers. whether we like it or not everyone feels the pinch. chris if you saw the windsor area decimation from all closures, many many not even related to automobiles you would see the downside. . some say re-locate. the western provinces are drying up for jobs, or cost of living dictates huge salaries to make a living, aka ,rent food. . i could tell you i have lived thru downturns and reccesions from living a little longer then some on this board. whats goverments to do with monies collected from workers. pay welfare or do the right thing and help its citizens. im quite sure there will be the folks drooling to pick this apart. but it is what it is. the manufacturing base is far to valuabale to fail in north america.. when folks run out of unemployment be prepared to watch your tax base shrink, welfare explode. unfortanetly theres many seniors like myself that canot return to work. what about them. they built this country like you are now. so in closing i surmise if your older collecting a pension screw us. sad how canadas turned. when i grew up it was about us, not a ME society.

zebco . you state workers to change what a company dictates. the unions have given up lots in the past contracts.. yes fish farmer its a closed border to quality north american products. in the meantime our resources get sucked dry.. and zebco. do you really think the asian markets shop at your local stores???.

grade 3 im still laughing. theres folks with far more education working in the automotive, and manufacturing sectors then you would believe.. in reality can you blame a person for holding a decent paying job. i question the sourness in some folks thoughts.. like it or not jealousy, is not an answer to ordinary people that do work hard and spend there bucks in a store you work in. . this has been a downturn created from individuals that are the leash holders of workers.. and yes im proud to see unions help to create better workplaces at decent wages for hard working folks.. . can anyone honestly say they would refuse a decent wage, and benefits, or pension.

i love it. the blame lays on fat cats in goverment not heeding fair play. . gotta agree on that one. a few ceo,s into the mix. the oil barons dictate the rest. as for krautmobiles. there building them at chrylsers as we speak, in windsor.. make things fair trade and we would see a great difference in canadian pride. seems this says canadians cant build a quality car. . thats the furthest from the truth.. oh ya i mean build not just assemble.

its only a commercial break.

great words ohio fisherman. i concur.

thats a very viable point. they did it to themselves. like i said goverments, and ceo,s. many folks dont realize the other factors. without bailouts. pensioners lose all benefits and loss of incomes. something they payed into for there lives. the financial drain would fall upon the goverments re-gardless. an no i dont work for the big 3 and i probably live on a far reduced income then many here. but please do check labels or read the box your products come in and then give me your opinion. this is further reaching then auto bailouts.

many opinions. the truth is the global trade and inefficient lack lustre goverments ctreated this mess. with un even trade practices, any manufacturer in north amercica is suffering. from chinese candy bars, poisned dog food to import cars. . bailouts, which are needed is a start. goverments truly need to re-evalute the process.. has anyone here ever done label reading of the products you purchase. do yourselve a favor. then your opinions will change. you will be hard pressed to see. MADE IN CANADA. as for staements of auto workers un-educated or folks in manufacturing, check the stats. many have degrees and to even qualify for applications, tough screening is done.. goverments have allowed the downward spiralling of wages and benefits. its not workers faults or unions. put the blame where it belongs upon goverments and greedy ceo,s. i have driven foreign and big 3 vehicles. my bucks are spent on north amerrican made products..

.i figure we are still being hosed. our in famous goverments sold off oil rights years ago. as for diesel owners, i feel for ya. i went back to gas. windsor is at 75 a litre. who can afford it. everyones laid off.

here kitty kitty. i can imagine the glob of worms you would need.

Truly an amazing catch. my hats off to the angler. just think,,,guys. this man lays no claim to fame. the most important thing. he released a true trophy. . mr. mcnair has set a standard many would love to meet. that fish was put back, unselfish i must say. after 45 years chasin skies, myself , im very impressed to see musky hunting taken to a new level. to all the guys like myself looking for the next big girl, its proven cpr works.

its an insurance mans dream. i can imagine the price for insurance on 2 conspiracy???

geee wizz . i hope those paintballs are non toxic. just kidding.

what a trophy. i can imagine all of the good meals. no anti-biotics, no steroids. . congrats to a well harvested sportmans dream.

albany guide. when chrylser borrowed money from the goverments it was re-payed. actually in 2 years in full. do some serious checking.. never the less theres some serious polarized views here. . the canadian goverment will not commit till the u.s goverment has finalized their talks..

funny how its a handout. the monies would be re-payed. . its sad to see this fall upon the worker. has anyone perceived to look upon pensioners losing there source of income, benefits. its not that they can get another job. they worked to build canada. oh well its a throw away society. i guess everyone will get a turn. but dont whine when your turn comes.. maybe when you see folks in a food bank line , you can ask for a cut..

the inmates are running the insane asylum. or should i re-phrase this. our goverment is in bed with insurance lawyers.. we live in an over litigated country, any arguments????

theres many sound ideas on this thread. but the reprucussions would devastate the country. imagine 75 cent a gallon gas, because nobody can afford a car. asian manufactures would only fill the gap. do you actually think they really care... many of these posts only see the last 25 years of the automotive world. if folks have lived thru the 79-81 era they would see. the automotive and manufacturing sectors leaped ahead with loan restructuring.. the largest issue from my view is rampant offshore un-balanced trade.. . . as for auto workers reaping incredible wages, they spend there dollars here in canada. not sending their profits offshore.. and yes there tax dollars go for what we all receive in goverment programs, donations to red cross, united way. yes the list goes on..

buyouts or bailouts. if the automotive sector fails, the country of canada will see a deep recession. the answers not to blame the unions, or workers. its executives that are greedy. why not blame management not joe with a mortage and 3 kids.. in 79-80 moneys were lent for re-structuring, and yes it was re-paid. thru that millions of families benefited thru gainfull employment.. theres much more to look at other then the auto industry. .. maybe working together to rise above would be better then frenzy feeding on people in need.

from what i see your pull screw is to far back. whats the distance between skis. i normally weight my boards at the rear lower of each skie. .. at slower speeds boards normally drag back just a little.

i was lucky. the police woke me up. they caught a thief in my truck. neighbor called. hes in jail now. every property he ran across 4 to be exact he was also charged criminal trespass.. i shoulda bought a lotto ticket that day

yes moe some folks have no respect. i have even heard stories of folks being threatened and belittled for calling the mnr on flagrant violations.. the river mentioned is only 1 rod per angler.

nice stuff moe moe. have not heard from you in a while
