As always Simon, I enjoyed your videos... still pretty jealous of the dog though! LOL HH

I'm a first gen Canadian, born to European parents. Neither of my parents spoke a lick of English when they arrived here in the late 50's. Heck, they didn't even speak the same language as each other when they met. They both worked the tobacco fields of southern Ontario; hard work for sure. In the neighbourhood where I grew up, we were the exception... all my friends and neighbours were already 2nd gen and I got a lot of heat from them regarding my mom and dad's accents. Our next door neighbor actually called my dad a "deepie". They didn't like the fact that here we were, new Canadians living in the same neighbourhood as these 2nd,3rd or 4th generation Canadians. I guess they just couldn't understand that my folks were more than willing to work hard for a better life for their family. My Dad taught himself to read English and never took a dime he did not earn from anyone. I suspect that the vast majority of new Canadians have exactly the same desires coming to this country. Yes exceptions always exist, but that is what they are, exceptions. HH

Have a good one Terry! HH

Chad, I admire your idealism, I really do! That said, your daughter is still very young and you still have a number of years to consider "your position". However, trust me on this, you are going to have one heck of a time saying no to her when everyone else is celebrating and your daughter is on the side lines. You can't stop Halloween and you can't stop Xmas... and do you really what to be "that Dad"? You may say that now, but trust me, time changes many things! HH

I bet she had fun Cliff! Happy Halloween everyone! HH

Wayne! LOL Money grab, plain and simple. HH

She has an electronic collar that keeps her close to the house. They are really close to town and on private land, so no hunters, unless my buddy decides to shoot some geese! HH

It was expected that the levels would rise this year, given that the Great Lakes froze over completely, which eliminated a great deal of winter evaporation. Good to see it come back up. HH

They named the dog "Kanga" as a puppy since it has exhibited this kind of behavior since then. As my buddy puts it "this stuff is a daily occurrence with this nitwit"! They are in Durham. HH

My buddies dog likes to watch cars, but especially trucks. Couldn't help but pass this along... HH

www.Woodchuckers.com Scarborough based supplier of wood for wood workers. Nice folks, I've been in their shop. A lot of "bowl turners" there and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a great deal of interest in your burl. Just be sure to move it quickly so it doesn't start to split... it needs to be cut and dried. HH

Congrats... I hope it turns out exactly like you hope! Beautiful spot. HH

Hey Art, much appreciation for your efforts in this thread. Not to be argumentative, but my wife and daughter were in New York this summer and told me of armed men (soldiers or police) in Times Square. I assume that the Square is one of those areas you mentioned in an earlier post. I heard a quote from a Canadian Soldier that has really stood out for me... If you think we have fought hard in foreign lands, you have no idea how hard we will fight to protect our home land. I deliberately stayed away from this thread until now as I didn't want my emotions to get the better part of me. The events of the last two days have changed the fabric of Canadian Society, and not for the better. HH

Cliff, the LCBO doesn't accept fritters as a form of payment. I remember working down town T.O. and standing at the corner of Yonge and Queen streets. There was a homeless guy who sat there pretty much every day. I watched a young lady hand the guy a styrofoam food container. He opened it to find a club house sandwich, with fries and slaw. I watched him throw it at her and curse at her. LCBO doesn't accept club house sandwiches either. HH

From a big picture perspective Simon, you are absolutely correct! Nip Pickereye stocks are only a symptom of a very complex issue. This recent announcement is a step in the right direction. Hopefully leadership of all concerned, look beyond the tip of their noses and develop sound practices that will allow everyone to enjoy the resource for many years to come. Now, about the NFN casino and resort... HH

My God! You are a far better man than me Wayne... thinkin about you folks today and hoping for the best! HH

If he is trolling Bill, he just hooked an "Imperial Margarine"! LOL HH

I don't understand why the guffuffal about jersey's thrown on the ice. It's not a flag of one's country, it's a jersey. One could argue that the Leafs have thrown all there fans under a bus for the 40 odd years... and is it not any ones right to do with what they please with their own possessions? Personally, I will not update my Leaf's jersey (from the 70's!) unless and until the teams performance warrants a change... it's been my stance since well, the 80's! LOL I cannot financially support losing with no ramifications... HH

WHO declared Nigeria Ebola free today... that's a good start. HH

Good to hear from you Bernie! What a great gig for you and the timing couldn't have been better! Really glad to hear that so far, things are going as you had hoped. HH

Cool video! I couldn't tell what it was they were feeding on though.... HH

One could cook up quite a number of smelt with that thing!!! Looks good B! HH

If the indigenous people had given the Pilgrim's a donkey instead of turkeys, we'd all be getting a piece of ass today! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! HH

I see no evidence that MLSE has killed off "Blue and White" disease. It appears as though they have tried to address some of the many symptoms, but not the disease itself. HH
