i can understand your point of view.

Yeah, we also have to be sympathic to certain situations. Not everyone out begging is a drug fiend or alcoholic. Some that are might be war veterens who havent been properly helped by society/government and other similar situations. Its just a bad situation all around. Id prefer to continue to help where I can, but I also will not give cash unless it comes with a service(not hookers lol) but honestly alot of great people end up in bad situations sometimes beyond their control. You have to factor that in, or heaven forbid this ever falls on yourself or family

i had a young guy ask for money once at the winnepeg bus station. We were on a family trip so we had packed snacks and sandwiches etc for the ride. I offered him a beverage and a sandwich after he asked for $5 to go to A&W in the bus station. He declined my offer, then threatened me? Drugs id assume but who knows? Sure makes a guy leary about lending a helping hand in the city

Just my opinion but if we held our resources, kept business and corporation Canadian, we would be wealthy and unemployment would only be those who couldnt work. Alot of issues arise from your post, no real simple fix. Ive went through tough times too and if I absolutely had to, I would be out there, and my kids would have ate your fritter. But where I live, you can easily forage hunt and fish, if you have the gear. Pretty cheap to snare rabbits as well, but again you need shelter and winter gear etc. People around here are also super kind, its no issue to find work, shelter, food, bartering etc. I feel for those truly in need in the cities though, id imagine it to be much tougher. The fellow that threw your kind gesture back at you, well he obviously wasnt starving, so i dont know what to say???

lol not really. But yeah. Border control has quite the authority. Just be aware of that. Nothing like saving $400 only to have your vehicle destroyed lol

one job. Not two

your now the NSA's priority lol. I get what hes saying though. I ve seen vehicles completely ripped apart and dismantled over a roach. It can and does happen

haha awesome thanks bill!!!

Are they really? I thought they were deemed illegal years ago??? I never see anyone with studs?maybe thats because the highway goes from solid ice to bare half the time?

Sounds like i should go buy some blizzaks for my new ride. Ice is a huge probrlem up here and i also plan on lots of lake of the woods driving/fishing this ice season

Awesome!

agreed

Look at the head on that fish!!!!! Congrats man, wicked catch!!!

sure! I kept a porcupine a few years back for regalia. Was hit by a truck. Kinda similar lol. I had no issues with it nor did mnr

i wish you the best. Your a brave brave person doing work for all. Very admirable service!

bazingaa!

Boss has it right. Poachers make us all mad but a fish is a fish, no need to get killed or seriously harmed over one. Quick phone call and pic and youve done right IMO

Awesome season! Great report and some good music to boot! You kinda look like the "outdoors" version of serj tankian lol

Didnt you hear? Stamkos is in toronto 2016 lol

.much like nature, so does government. And yes, its not funny in any regard

Im currently going mental, sitting at home after my last project with an engineering co. Only been off 2 weeks and it sucks. Well I shouldnt say it sucks. I enjoy the time with my kids, watching them play hockey, fishing etc. But there is just something in me where i feel best working hard and pushing through alot of sleepless nights, crap like that. I guess i just appreciate things more when im super busy. Ive mined, worked world class sawmills, welded in pipeline, earned my stripes in the oilfield, and most of it was great. Actually i hated welding where 80" was a great day lol. Worked for awesome companies and some horrid. Currently im waiting to be called back to work with and im having fun with this company. Great crew, awesome supervisors, learning new skills with new equipment. Im only 35 so i got alot to learn. Ups and downs i spose. I hope one day ill find the perfect career. And where ive worked, that job is called "hotshotting" and its big money in alberta

Great news!!!!

Wicked fish for the youngin!!!! Congrats to him!

fish eye? Lol

Ok now, show the other pics... I know darned well you snapped at least 5 others before a safe release. Wicked, wicked fish!!!!
