Be carefull; I read something on FaceBook today about the odds of dying on your way to pick up your prize is greater than the odds of winning in the first place. I have no idea if it's true.

Great if it works. I have never seen someone use that many crank baits for ice fishing though. http://www.scout.com/outdoors/wired2fish/story/1618325-how-to-store-crankbaits-snag-free

He's actually going to get about $1,000,000 per regular season start.

Your first link is American and is not relevant. Here is quote from your second link, "Corporations have been banned for donating to political parties in Canada since 2004" The quote is not 100% accurate because the ban is for federal political parties. I will acknowledge that there are ways for corporations to get money to politicians. E.g. During the 2006 Liberal leadership race, Joe Volpe received donations from his employees children. Because we know how many 12 years olds save up their allowance so they can donate to their daddy's boss's political compaigns. But the corporations cannot make direct above the table legal donations to federal politicians or parties. There will aways be favours such as job offers after retirement; but most of the money raised for the parties is done through lots of small donations.

Well, you got the to death part right.

If he can maintain that 1.85 ERA over the long haul; this will be good. http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-sign-pitcher-happ-to-three-year-contract/

Actually, corporations and lobby groups cannot make federal political donations (Corporations can make provincial poilitical donations). Only individuals can make federal political donations. And there are limits on how much an individual can donate.

That's not true. The controls were already there before either of them became Prime Minister. They just didn't get rid of them.
-
That may be the case for Trudeau. It certainly wasn't for Harper.

I agree that it is too early to define his whole term as a failure. But, on this particular issue, he messed up big. He promised way more than he could deliver for way less than it was going to cost. The attacks in Paris give him a convenient excuse for missing the deadline. But the reality is that he was never going to achieve those targets, nor do it for the costs that he had estimated. He was either out of touch with reality or just plain lying when he made that promise.

They have cordless vacuum cleaners now.

Does anybody have experience with the electronic rust inhibitors? That is what Toyota uses for their rust protection now. If a vehicle had an electronic rust inhibitor, would getting it sprayed add to the protection? Or, could the spray actually interfere with the electronic equipment.
-
Agreed, but so is the ability to set realistic targets in the first place. He received plenty of advice about the unattainability of the 25,000 target during the election campaign. Perhaps he should have made some corrections then.
-
Both parties have resorted to fear mongering. Remember the hidden agenda, two tiered health care, military on our city streets? Claiming that our lakes and rivers don't have any environmental protection at all since Harper changed the navigatable waters act.

They were horrible... but their replacements are often more horrible.

That looks like my first outboard (1987 20hp Evinrude). If I remember correctly there was a shallow water drive. It was activated by tilting the motor and flipping a leaver that would prevent it from dropping all the way back down. There were also about five or so trim positions but they require removing a pin and placing it another hole.

I would assume that the logic is that mulsim countries tend to execute gays. I am not sure about the logistics though. Do they take their word for it? Or, do they have provide evidence that they are gay? If it is the former they may find that there are a lot of single gay male refugees.
-
Or, that he simply didn't have a clue about the logistics involved in bringing in that many refugees on short notice and the people that actually have make this happen have told him that they need more time.
-
What about trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do restrict maneuverability? When I am running riggers, dipseys, planner boards, and may a copper/leadcore down the shoot; I certainly feel that my manuverability is restricted.

An idea to make cutting your firewood more fun, and a little bit dangerous. https://www.facebook.com/LarryTheCableGuy/photos/a.451669688463.247762.5677948463/10153760700958464/?type=3&theater

Garden hoses are usually flexible and can expand with the ice. The hoses in your boat, not to mention the pumps, may not be so foregiving.

There may not be an actual law giving shore anglers the right of way but it makes sense as a courtesy. Disrupting boat traffic would only be an issue if the boat is navigating a narrow channel. In that case I think shore anglers should avoid casting in front of boats using the channel. But I wouldn't consider casting off your dock on a large body of water to be disrupting the flow of boat traffic.
