Did you notice the year? Starting in 2017-18! It hasn't happened yet? We have a new government now. The transfer payments for 2017-18 will be set by Trudeau's government; not Harper's. How can you use Harper's planned 2017-18 budget as an excuse for cuts by the Wynne government? As for no one whispering a peep; I have heard far more complaints about Harper reducing the rate of increase from 6% to 3% than I did about the Liberals actually cutting health and social transfers by 34%. At least they were still going up under Harper instead of going down like they did under the previous Liberal government. Three percent annual increases is way better than what the provinces got while Chretien was in power. McGuinty & Wynne have had very generous transfer payments compared to the cuts that Rae and Harris had to deal with.

Harper did not bring forth these cutbacks. Health and social transfers have increased by 6% each year under Harper. The cutback occurred in the 90's under Chretien.

I saw this on Facebook... "I hear that Donald Trump is watching the Olympics tonight. He's seeing how high the Mexican pole vaulters go." - Gov. Gary Johnson

It's not easy to become a teacher because there are a lot more people who want to be teachers than there are teaching jobs...

What do you consider to be overbilling? If a doctor has to rent an office, employ staff, and purchase medical equipment, is it overbilling if he earns enough revenue to cover these costs?

The change from 6% annual increases to the greater of 3% or the growth in GDP was scheduled to happen after 2017. It is still too early to use that as an excuse for current funding. It may not even happen now that the Trudeau Liberals are in. https://www.fin.gc.ca/fedprov/his-eng.asp

It is unfortunate that some athletes could be at a disadvantage due to the rooms they are staying in.

Is that where Hillary is from...

A lost reel handle could cause your fish to get loose

I thought that I had made one once... but I was wrong.

Hey, if a SeaDoo can tow a 30 footer, you could at least tow a 14 footer...

If the island is crown land then you can legally camp there. There is a limit for how long you can use a spot on crown land; but I think it's about 21 days. You may have trouble getting a spot on the weekend; but during the week should be fine.

There is more to it than the number of shots fired. He fired three shots, then waited several seconds before firing the remaining shots. The courts just couldn't justify the second round of shots.

Wow. That looks great.

The charge does seem weird. But the logic is that the cop didn't know that the first three shots were fatal. Taking six shots at someone that he didn't know was already dead or dying was deemed to be attempted murder. p.s. There were no other people on board at the time of the shooting.

I don't think it would cost too much. But as long as people are buying the units without GPS they will probably keep making them.

Jays's making some moves... http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1059326-report-blue-jays-agree-to-acquire-melvin-upton-jr It's ironic that he just stopped calling himself B.J. Upton this year.

Those would be long nose gar.

If most of your fishing is casting around logs and shallow weed beds, then I would recommend a cable steer bow mount over an iPilot. The iPilot / Xi5 units have an advantage for trolling and with spot lock, etc. But cable steer will give you better control when your manuvering around structure. You should not have to upgrade your wiring for a 24v motor. A 24v motor actually draws fewer amps than a 12v motor; so your not going to be drawing any more amps than your current motor. Having said that; my boat was pre-wired with 12g wire which is inadequate for a trolling motor. I wouldn't assume that the stock wiring is adequate. I melted the fuse holder on mine.

They don't prove me wrong.

Why not? Don't you want America to be great again?

Well if it's between Hillary and Trump, then I am pretty sure that it is neither. If you can prove me wrong then it would surprise me.

I think that you're right about it being benthic invertebrates; and perhaps some fish feeding on them too. I wouldn't know what kind of bug they are; that may depend on the season, depth, and waterbody.
