  1. If you've ever been a victim of debit skimming (which is very common aparently) you would want to keep your money at your house....

     

    Up to 30 days till I got my money back because someone else compromised their system and stole my money!

     

    So when my money that was there gets stolen they can take their sweet time to give it back, when you try to put more money in, they put crazy holds on it.....you can't win!

  2. The websites are still active, so you should still be able to do it on line. I'm not sure why people think that after the deadline you have to take the course in a classroom?

     

    Its a scare tatic to get people to sign up NOW versus waiting.

  3. I see a couple of adds in kijiji where guys are offering the Boater's course at their homes and promoting the idea of getting it done before home testing ends. Anybody hear that it's ending or think home testing should? I did it at home and followed the rules but I see where cheating would be easy if you don't take it seriously.

     

    I took one of those online courses. Not because I'm lazy, but because it fits for my busy lifestyle.

     

    Ever since I took the test I've been getting spam mail from the company warning me to tell my friends to sign up for online testing. They say it MAY become standardized after the September 15th deadline (making it harder I assume is the angle they are going for), hurry and get your test before they make these changes. Its now well after September 15th and nothing has changed.

     

    All these statements are legal tactics. If you notice none of the statements are definite, thus they are just making a suggestion of what COULD happen.

     

    Anything to sell a product/service these days....competition is brutal!

  4. I did the exam up at the booth in Honey Harbour a couple of months ago and I agree that it's pretty much a joke but after some thought and seeing the boneheads out on the water who have absolutely NO CLUE of rights of way, safety equipment, etc.... and after speaking to a few of the OPP officers in the area, it at least hopefully leaves you knowing who has the right of way (which, by the way is like a car at a 4way stop sign, the guy on the right has the right of way) and in channels, the bigger vessel has the right of way or sail boats under sail power have the right of way. It's a big issue with me because I'll tell ya, I've almost been run down by guys in their big cruisers blasting through no wake zones and have almost been run down from the port side by guys just blasting around recklessly. There should be a more formal licensing process because as we all know, boats don't have brakes on them.

     

     

    Do you drive a car or just live near water and only use a boat? Its the same crap on the roads, they deffinately need a more stringent licensing system for both the road and the waterways!

  5. Do you need to be a United Kingdom resident to accept a prize paid out in Pounds?

     

    And did you actually sign up for something? Sounds like the email when my lost relative needed $2,000 to release my inheritance from my uncle I've never heard of. lol

  6. I am happy to announce that I am the winner of the contest!

     

    haha, I never win! I guess I can't say that any more.

     

    I look forward to some posts with my new Fuji FinePix 5700 7.1 megapixel camera!

     

    I love the videos Dave makes for us on the forums and the E-Mags are very good reads!

     

    Thanks to everyone at www.factsoffishing.com

     

    You guys should check it out!

  7. Yes they do, they can search any premises or vehicle without a warrant. Surprisingly for Ontario these broad & exceptional powers are rarely abused.

     

    If thats the case...then why doesn't CSIS get CO's to raid terror suspects homes. Then report no fishing violations but report all other none ministry violations to the authorities?

     

    Its not as simple as you put it.
