  1. I can't believe she would do that when she's weeks away from an election. She obviously knows she won't even win a minority. My problem is who do you vote for? I can't stand any of them.

    I feel your pain but its the action that speaks volumes. Utter decimation of this party is necessary along with a continued onslaught when the new sheriff in town wanders off the path set out for them by "US". A mass rally when they get out of hand wouldn't hurt either. We have the ultimate power. We just have to demonstrate our willingness to use it. All depends on who we want to blame when our kids ask us why things are the way they are. We giveth and we can taketh away.

  2. Had to chime in. Accompanied a friend to Cambridge this afternoon so I could drive back a vehicle he had purchased and while I was sitting in a local establishment enjoying a veal sandwich all that could be heard was the owner, staff and a patron complaining(with much fervor) about the leafs and how to make them better. The infection and rot brought on by years of neglect and incompetence is far worse than I could have ever imagine. Almost spit out my food at one point while trying to contain my laughter. Silly leaf fans, hockey is for real teams.

  3. I don't mind the brother in law thing but come out ahead of it instead of allowing the optics to write the narrative. A continuation of the flagrant disregard for you, me and the rest of us. A big ole' screw you with a middle finger salute to the blood, sweat and tears they take from us day in and day out and just throw away to their friends and others lined up on that kickback convoy that has followed this group of thieves around for the last decade.

     

    Tim Hudak might have spoken out of term but I would dare her to take any action on any of the nasty E-mails I have and keep sending to her and a couple of her incompetent ministers week in and week out. I'd love for her to make a martyr of me. I double dare her in fact.

     

    I wonder how that would go over with my fellow Ontarians. I wonder if they would stand behind a sacrificial lamb, show some spine and finally show the size of cahones needed to make an example of this group and put future politicos with a similar aspiration to lead what is expected.....no, demanded of them on notice if they choose to be honoured enough to lead us, the people.

     

    Until then we continue to read the headlines, listen to sound bytes and banter back and forth while they figure out how to retain power so they can continue getting away with the utter destruction of our province. The campaign promises made to us with our own money drive me crazy.

     

    We don't even flinch. Why does this happen? Are sports, selfies and you tube vids more important than our future? If so that is a damn shame. Opprtunities lost folks.

     

    I bet they're having a laugh at our expense while huddled around a campfire that is kept lit by them throwing our hard earned money onto it.

     

    Come get me Kathleen. Bet you mine are bigger than yours. Not by much but still bigger.

     

     

    Edited cause I simply lose my mind when I write about these dogs!!!!!!!!

  4.  

    Hell, why not just bring a Dora rod and show everyone how it's really done.

    Used a 9'6" Fenwick Legacy paired with a Shimano Solstace for years and held more than my own against the rest of the gear others were packing which says more about the angler. Schooled quite a few drifters while shoulder to shoulder picking apart the same seam of water with that 9.6.

     

    Much easier travel through the bush and hit fewer branches overhead when fish came loose. But that was when the creeks and river banks out this way were owned by tree canopies. With streams becoming more devoid of trees and wider ,a longer stick would make more sense.

  5. You could install a troll plate. I had one on a prince craft Pro 166 with a 90 4 stroke merc.

    Use one now with a 2 stroke 50 and haven't had an issue yet. A tip from a friend if you choose this option is to cut out a notch between fully open and fully closed which will allow you to slow it down to a crawl and still offer you decent steering control in the wind.

     

    Edit: The price tag and added weight of the kicker made it an easy decision for me.

  6. Your mental state never entered my mind.... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko::rofl2: Just pulling your leg I am sure your a fun loving guy and a barrel of laughs around the camp fire!!! :clapping:

    Only if it were an electric campfire. Did I mention I am no longer allowed to be in possession of any combustible materials? Stipulated as part of my parole conditions.

  7. :rofl2: Your such an up beat fellow, I bet your a barrel of laughs around a camp fire!!! :rofl2:

    I have a rather wicked sense of humor and see good in most things but I am also a realist and make no apoligies for that point of view. I can see where you would be skeptical concerning my state of mind and I understand and respect that. I am not fooled by mirages placed in front of me and see right through such clutter as I know most others do but not nearly enough find the nerve to question.

     

    The world should and could be a better place but I'm afraid that as long as there are those who are in it for themselves and continue to lead others along that garden path the future is doomed for failure.

     

    I'd fish with him Gord!

    Anytime Wayne and thanks. I'd also love the opportunity to fish with premier Wynne. If for nothing else but to use her as an anchor once we find a honey hole.

  8. Ice is gone and so is cable. No time to waste on over paid atheletes playing games in the overly hyped fantasy land called sport. Time to go fishing.

     

    Note to leaf fans. Find a new hobby cause its gonna be a long while till you see something resembling anything other than mediocrity. hehehehehehe............

  9. Fish Farmer.

     

    How do you figure a Big Crash is coming?

     

    Just out of curiosity, and perhaps to mitigate my own situation. What are the 'red flags' for you?

     

    Interested.

    Entropy

    Take a look around. More borrowed money across the globe than ever before and lots of it. Rising prices for everything, falling standards of living, dwindling wildlife and other food stocks, over population............ Take your pick.

  10. Actual words from a talking head from a gasoline company a few years ago: "Competition drives the prices up." It was said without even the slightest hint of a smirk.

    Capitalism at its worst.

  11. This thread has taken a bit of a detour... Now its seems we should live healthier so we require support later rather than sooner? Hmmmm. There are many curves that can be thrown at you which places you in need of our health care system. Granted the healthier you live the less likely you will be found in the system but things happen. Cancer does not grant you a pass because you ate your wheaties and went for your morning walk. How about autism? Why is the number of children suffering from this on a continual rise?

     

    If you want to speak of issues with the health of our society as a hole you don't have to look far to see that we are headed in the wrong direction. How many kids nowadays rot in front of some digital device most of the day. Parents are to blame but they turn a blind eye as the kids are not fighting, screaming, or causing any grief. When the kids are walking around most have their heads down which can't be good. Why play a sport when you can do it on the couch virtually? Both parents need to work to keep the house afloat so there are less and less parental time available to get them and keep them moving. We are living in an age where the next generation is less likely to live longer than the present, which is a first in our history.

     

    There are many reasons why the burden on our health care system will continue to climb.

    Lack of proper nutrition and excersise are key. A neighbour of ours lived almost 8 years with an inoperable brain tumor that would have taken a person of average health to the grave in the customary 6-10 months. You care to know why? He ate as healthy as he could and rode his bike and walked counltess kms. Doctors were amazed.

     

    We are all going to die. Depends on whether you want to cash your chips earlier or later.
