Many members here expect introductions. There was a thread not so long ago about the topic. It helps if a new member introves themselves and maybe posts some older pics etc Its not asking for alot. I know I for one prefer it, but Im not gonna lose any sleep over it either. Good luck chasing browns!

I approve this message lol. Your a good man...

I did this once as well only to return. The good people here heavely outway the bad. Stick around man! Chalk it up to a bad day(thats what it was in my case, i just got frustrated with a buncha nonsense and let it get to me) Take a day or two off but stick around!!!!

Id be happy to see both netminders move. Bernier will get awarded that through arbitration based on shots faced and games played alone IMO. Id rather ship off bernier and keep whats his name for a few years until a proven netminder is available later in the rebuild. Whoever is in net for the next 3 years doesnt even matter, they are gonna get lit up. If I was bernier id wanna move anyhow. If he stays on for the rebuild his career is most likely done,or at the very least hes back to being a number two

It baffles my mind how some people think FN are run. Corruption, yes. Greed, yes. Favortism, yes. But not on every FN. And the band members can easily vote them out. Council is not implemented by canadian government either. They are elected by memebers and are paid by honourarium. Also, FN do not solely police themselves, MNR and OPP can easily step in without red tape. Im gonna go off topic here and I hope it doesnt cause a huge backlash. Aboriginals signed treaties that go back to england(and canada for all intended purposes). Alot of their funding comes from "renting the land and resources of those who were here before settlements", not tax dollars. And where tax doĺlars do come in, thats on the queen, so take it up with her. And aboriginal governance is as transparent as can be, its all available online as ever band is audited every year. Do some research. But here is one that I do not necessarily agree with. Some years ago my FN friend passed away. I was asked to clean his office. He had saved all documents for land claims, treaties etc. In there I found an agreement. All FN that break Canadian laws, are to be dealt with not the same as other Canadians, but to exhuast all measures of rehab for their crimes. Now dont get me wrong, i actually agree with this idea. But for all of canada not just FN. Again, I side with nature. Leave Nip alone, EVERYONE

Geez that looks yummy! I pretty much love everyone but tou make it tough to not hate you lol

Unreal. Some kids making some cash by working. Let them be for frig sakes. When I was about 10, I made mad money(lol) selling crawfish on rainy lake at 10 cents a piece. Made about $40 a day and I was rollin in cash lol. Anyhow, this is rediculous. Let them kids work and provide a service

Oh nice!!!!!

Neeeeeiiiice!

Aka one too many rums ??? Mmmm caribou?

Not sure if your totally agreeing with me or being sarcastic? Yes, all sides should play apart in restoring the lake, I certainly agree with that!!!

Im all for coke and peroxetine in the water, compliments fluoride nicely... Humans chasing a buck will be the death of us.

Oh i called the mnr last year about the giant hogweed round here. Its spreading fast and in populated areas

Cow parsnip, thats it dave. It gets big around here, well not giant hogweed big but it grows to about 5-6 feet. Ill take some pics on sunday because I might not be indentifying it correctly

And alot of people mistake giant hogweed for a plant I think is calles queen annes lace. Flower is similar but a different leaf

One place I fish is chock full of giant hogweed brian. Gotta tread the path carefully. In the link someone posted stinging nettle. That craps pretty harmless. Doesnt even effect me after one sting in the past. Now i harvest it for teas and tinctures

Unreal what you are doing on your own!!! I think I said it before but you sir are a skilled man!

Thats a bummer man but any day on the water is great, glad you enjoyed it! Im totally new to musky fishing and Ive got zero musky in 3 outings. Total greenhorn lol. But its fun trying

And Brian thats adorable! And sometimes a man just needs a burger!

Mmmmmmmm.... You never disappoint my friend

Im on all sides my friend I dont wanna see anyone displaced or lose their livelyhood. I side with the lake

In sports, players/athletes respond to those that are legends. Look at football. Many pros go way back to acknowledge their success was a work ethic and sportsmanship instilled from high school coaches and then move up the ladder. Sorta like in Tampa, you think any player wants to look bad in front of steve yzerman? Ask Stamkos about him over a few beers(hed probably be drinking whey protein) what he thinks of steve and Id bet my life he doesnt say one bad thing, but praises him. This crew in To is setting their own standard. Play for the Leaf on your jersey or pack your bags. Strong message. Ill bet 95% off the players respond. Whether it be leadership, backchecking, defensive play, netminding, weight room and cardio etc. Itll take time, but this is unquestionably the correct path to building a strong team in the future

Ummm yes. Imagine if you and I ran the Leafs??? We would be fired in a week and probably assasinated

NFN should be developing in all avenues of community structure and that leads to jobs. A problem ive seen too often. Start a lodge or two( and financially its easy trust me) hire some experienced anglers and some teenagers for the camps. Train some carpenters, to help build the community. Open grocery store and gas station(if they havent already) Offer training to become CO's. The nore jobs available and the better the community you'll eventually kill off those abusing the fishery. One thing again, that bothers me, if indeed these ghost nets are FNF, someone in the community has no idea what due diligence means. Out them and oust them. They are a disgrace to nature, the creator, the lake, their elders and their respective community
