Actually, I am not convinced that economic feasibility plays a large part in the decision making by the Ontario Liberals. It is more likely that they felt that they would have lost votes if they built them. That is why the ones along the Lake Ontario shoreline were cancelled; despite McGuinty's promise not to listen to the NIMBY people. I wonder if these ones are practical. They look nicer, I am sure what the cost/benefit it. http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/21/tech/wind-tree-arbre-a-vent/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fedition_technology+%28RSS%3A+Technology%29

This is how a real man plants a garden... unless he lives in a city with no discharge law http://laughingsquid.com/flower-shell-lets-you-plant-seeds-with-a-12-gauge-shotgun/

Has anyone else heard of these? I wonder of they will serve as structure for the salmon. If so, I hope they don't puncture too easily. This would have made more sense if they had built the wind mills along the shore line that had previously been studied. I don't think they will be getting a lot of renewable energy down town. There is one wind mill by the Ex and one in Pickering. http://business.financialpost.com/2015/01/30/how-one-company-plans-to-store-wind-energy-in-giant-balloons-under-lake-ontario/?__lsa=1e12-1ac5

I saw this on another site. http://boredomtherapy.com/diy-adventure-truck/?as=6022520062284

Fishing to be banned in Rouge Park? The Thursday January 29th edition of the Scarborough Mirror contained an article about the Rouge Park. Based on a quote from MP Michael Chong the park "explicitly bans, hunting, fishing and theft of cultural artifacts in the park". I am not sure what the exact boundaries of the park are; but the Rouge does provide a lot of steel head fishing. Many of these areas may be off limits to fisherman once this passes. If you ever fish the Rouge then I would advise you to contact your MP about the future of fishing in the new National Rouge Park. Michael Chong seems to the Conservative MP involved with the formation of the park. I believe that John McKay is the Liberal environment critic. He may be worth contacting as well. The steel head fishery exists primarily due to stocking by volunteers. And now we face the possibility of not being able to fish for them.

I think the bite varies from week to week day to day, etc. Picking the right day is more important than picking the right year. Don't go on the same day as me if you want to catch fish. Every time I have been to Simcoe the fishing has been bad for everybody.

Well, that is a little better.

Nice to see that the kids get to have some fun. I guess the neighbor who complained will not be too happy.

Interesting; he wants something bigger than a 150 hp on a pontoon boat??? I don't think he going to get high performance from a pontoon boat regardless of how horsepower he puts on it. That may work out well for the buyer of his old motor though.

Is that the foam used to plug the openings due to the ridges in the steel roofing? Is any additional barrier required?

I think it is more likely a price issue. The builder doesn't want to spend the extra money for steel. They cut costs by using cheap asphalt (good asphalt shingles last more than 10 years) shingles. p.s. For those recommending steel. Do you recommend steel shingles or the large sheets of steel? What about the tile type roofs (they look like clay tiles but are probably plastic); I think they are supposed to last a lifetime too.

You know that now. But without the CAT scan you wouldn't have known whether or not it was them or you who is the most serious condition. I hope it doesn't happen again; but it does, don't wait to go to emergency.

Saw this advertised in a magazine. I wonder how well the cleats would flip over after you had been walking in mud and snow. http://www.olangcanada.com/index_an.html

It was a tough bite out of Innisfil today. Not many caught fish from what I heard. Lots of pressure cracks; one of my partners got a little wet from one.

Are you saying that the Leafs have enough talent for two all star teams

I glad you are okay. I would also urge you to see a doctor. If anyone is in this situation, I would recommend heading straight for emergency. Your brain can continue to sustain damage after a head injury; there are medications to reduce the damage that occurs after a head injury.

Yeah, we got shafted on that deal. The licences were supposed to provide extra funding for fisheries. Now, the MNR gets less funding then they did before the licences were brought in.

Do you mean back to the CNE? There have only been 2 or 3 out of the last 30 or so years that they were not at the CNE.

It would also be good to know what happens if you are in an accident. A few years ago a Canadian was involved in an accident in Cuba. He was initially not allowed to leave the country until after the trial. They eventually allowed him to leave but he had to agree to return for the trial. It would be good to know what the rules are for something like that before driving there. Also, they may only have standards if that is an issue.

Not many perch around either.

I don't think that it's toxic. It just doesn't taste very good. It would be more accurate to say that you wouldn't want to eat it.

Plenty of ice on Frechman's; the fish are a little scarce though. The skating should be good once the temperature drops tonight.

I wonder if Asian carp will work. That may make them work harvesting. http://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/salmon-sperm-could-help-us-recycle-rare-earth-elements

Doesn't every team that misses the playoffs have a shot at Conner McDavid? It's a lottery pick so there is no guaranty that that last place team gets the first pick. From what I understand; every team that missed the playoffs gets a shot at the lottery. Granted, the teams at the very bottom get better odds than the ones that just barely miss the playoffs. But the pick could still go to a team that just barely misses the playoffs... which the Leafs may do.
