By the logic being spouted by our friends here, from south of the border, they had better start updating the arsenal as I am sure that their government is constantly upgrading their arsenal. How on earth will you be able to fight your government, defend your rights, if the government has better guns then the public? I'm starting to feel like I should not be feeling bad for the victims of this horrific event, but for all Americans who are being forced to live in a place where there is no right to live, just the right to defend. HH

I'm guessing Justin is really beginning to hate coming to Ontario! Every time he has a public appearance here, he then loses a few hours afterwards having Katie removed from his rectum. HH

Sure, go spend $600 on a new iphone to replace the one confiscated. Then drop what ever at the app store and on your way home, don't forget to pay the $400 fine as well. That's a $1000+phone call/text that you just made/received! I also have to wonder what an employer would say, should the phone being confiscated be a company phone. As far as a warrant is concerned, is that call/text really worth the court time and legal fees incurred to fight it? Driving is a privilege. Folks have to remember that! HH

Sure they do MB, they can choose not to use their phones while behind the wheel! Once they have made a choice, they must be prepared to deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, those consequences can end very badly for innocents. I still think that if you are caught, confiscation of the phone is the best answer. Escalating levels of confiscation based on repeat offenders should also be considered. HH

I likely have more cars on my street, then Ernie does in all of Dunsford! That's the real difference. HH

Does anyone else find it ironic that this same government that insisted on building gas plants across the province has now decided, a scant 5-6 years later that gas plants are bad? The amount of wasted money is mind boggling. Dutch, if it means anything to you, I have not ever seen you, in any post, praise Wynne or her government. That is one thing that I am pretty sure about you. HH

I have to admit that I am surprised that they don't use a shielded cable for these units. It can't cost much more than an un-shielded cable. Just like a mic cable has to be shielded due to the low level of signal being susceptible to outside interference. HH

Wow, I didn't think that this thread would take off like this! One thing I think some of us need to consider is our location in the province. Those of us here in the GTA are dealing with millions of drivers on the road, every day. That's a whole lot different than what folks living in small towns or rural areas experience. Ernie says go ahead and catch me and likely, he's not ever going to be "caught" and is likely not the problem driver we are talking about. We have traffic like L.A. here in Toronto. It would be the exception to travel any length of time in the city and NOT see some tool on the phone. Too many times I have had to avoid a situation at highway speeds caused by a distracted driver. MB, I definitely see your point and others regarding privacy, but like drunk driving, you give up your rights when you put others in jeopardy with your actions. HH

All good except for when a passenger is using their phone in a car! HH

I think you may be right Peter, the car is licensed, the driver is licensed, but the phone is not. Impounding the car, is probably the easiest legal route to go. Impounding the phone as evidence until trial could be another tact. With the traffic on the highways here in the GTA, you have to keep your wits about you. I don't need a distracted driver to take me or my family out, cause they got a text. HH

I've been putting my thinker box to work lately, trying to come up a solution to the problem of people texting/talking on their cell phones while driving. I have read that texting and driving is equated to driving while impaired, from an ability to perform behind the wheel perspective. Well, with that thought in mind, why not equate the penalties in a similar way? To that end, I humbly suggest that those caught texting/calling/surfing while behind the wheel, be subject to not only the now roughly $400 fine, but also confiscation of their phone for a period of time. We take the car away from a drunk driver, why can't we take the phone away from a distracted driver? First offense, phone confiscated for 10 days Second offense 30 days Third offense 90 days Probably won't ever completely solve the problem, but I bet many would think twice before they reach for the phone while driving. Your collective thoughts? HH

Man, if the handle was only on the other side, I'd be all over it! LOL HH

Exactly my sentiments. $14k rebate to some downtown T.O. person who buys an electric car. I don't see how/why I should have to pay for their driving decision. How can we have $14k to give to someone who just dropped $50k+ on an electric car, and not fund those kids who fall into the Autism spectrum? How large of a government agency will they have to build to administer this cap and trade system? How much of the money generated by the program will be eaten up by salaries, infrastructure, benefits etc... of those "administrating" the system? Governments have a fantastic record of value and efficiency. And to add, those who live in the north will be bearing a higher cost then those in the south, in this system. HH

Shower in a bag! That darn thing came in more than handy on our trip. As mentioned, ear plugs for sure and bacon! Yes, bacon. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, bacon makes everything come to life; -bacon and eggs -bacon and tomato sangwhiches -bacon wrapped pickereye on the bbq Extra rain suits, more jigs than you think you will need and deep diving cranks. That's just off the top of my head. HH

It'll be interesting to see what an electric outboard will look like in 20 years... HH

Growing up in London, I knew of a few places that had decent numbers of Soft Shell, Painted and of course Snapping Turtles. The Soft shells are really neat critters and just as vicious as a snapper! Thanks for the heads up... HH

Try rubbing a ripe tomato on to the toasted garlic bread, the same way you would rub the garlic on the toast. HH

Simon, check the transom on the Crestliner to ensure that it is solid and dry. FishnSled runs a Fishhawk and I think it has been a very good boat for him. He should chime in on this thread. I know he recently had the transom replaced as they don't seal the top of the transom at the factory. Easy fix if caught soon enough. Remove the metal cap on the transom and put in a rubber seal along the top. Re-attach the metal cap and it should be good for some time HH

I was never a fan of hot dogs, but this isn't going to change my mind! Try not to think of this when you are roasting your dog over an open fire camping! http://www.littlethings.com/hot-dogs-are-made/?utm_source=kit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shocking HH

I have often wondered what became of him as we hadn't seen him around here for a bit. Some found him a bit caustic, I found him refreshing. He has been missed and now will forever be missed. Condolences to his friends and family. HH

My brother stay there for a week every year, he has a buddy with a cottage on Horwood. He tells me that Pickereyes can be caught all day long on a jig and a minnow, that's it! They set minnow traps to collect their own... can catch them off their dock, jig and minnow. HH

Weekend at Bernie's!!!!!! HH

And the city or jurisdiction that you live in loses money because they are not getting paid for the glass waste they would collect. HH

Watching the news last night and one of the shops talked about only keeping a minimal amount of "stock" in the store, in case the cops raid them, they can't take all their product and put them out of business. They also talked about opening shops for a short time and using multiple locations to avoid police. HH
