Boat Launches Open for Fishing - Petition


RPW

Recommended Posts

Nobody hit on the big problem No Washrooms. I can guarantee if there is 4-5 Tim's between here and Lake of Bays I'm stopping at everyone to leave deposit and buy something. 

It's really bad for truck drivers.

Guess when I get my boat out it will be 5 gallon pail and bio garbage bags.

I require no help to launch and load boats and have no problem telling people.

The wife’s a nurse and she works out in the community so she is having a lot of trouble finding washrooms.  She doesn’t trust the washrooms in her patients houses as she said most are filthy.  Luckily she has no issue or shame finding a bush somewhere lol.

I really doubt that the taxes they collected on cruise and airline flights are going to come anywhere close to covering what is being spent to combat this situation! Governments all over the world were telling people not to travel long before this was declared a pandemic but people continued to go anyway.

I will be 70 next month, but remember my elementary  class had one survivor in a wheelchair, another wore braces and one a limp from a withered but still usable leg, that's 3 out of maybe thirty . Those younger probably don't remember their mother's fear of simply letting kids play together before the vaccine. Do things need to get real close personally real before they care to do the right thing.  https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/closures-equipment-shortages-and-insights-from-canada-s-polio-invasion-1.5517204

I thought all cruises were cancelled. If not, only the foolhardy would go---buy 1 week, get 2 weeks free.

They were eventually but many governments were warning people not to travel prior to that. Lots of people chose to ignore the warnings and go anyway.

So I'm at the boat ramp and I slip and fall into my boat breaking my leg and dislocating whatever.   I manage to call for help.

Two paramedics; 8 volunteer firefighters show as well as one police officer.  It takes at least  6 of those front line workers to get my sorry ass out of the boat and back to the waiting ambulance. All the while working at 2ft. or less from one another.

  Arrive at the hospital tying up even more front line workers ( x-ray technitions , specialists and nurses etc) all the while possibly putting myself and others at risk of contracting covid-19.   Plus after the lengthy hospital stay and return visits.

Ya I know; I could break my leg going to the grocery store.  I believe the idea is to put less strain on front line workers as much as possible by keeping people at home until we can get a handle on this enemy.  We are at war.

Your walking you dog ,your going for a jog 

and the same can happen. And there are thousands and thousands doing other activities that can result in  way as your fisherman and they are all allowed so why fishing and not walking

People typically walk their dog within a few streets distance from home. If you live a few streets from the lake you might have a leg to stand on though I don't think so personally.

The overwhelming majority of Ontarians drive, often for hours, to get to a lake. You can be asymptomatic and not even know you are bringing COVID-19 into the small town you are traveling too. The local emergency services and hospitals are staffed to the level of the local populace, and 100 or 1000 additional fisher people in  a region has the *potential* to put a strain on those services.

If you have an accident at home and have to be treated you are keeping the potential exposure within your immediate community.

If you make any stops on route to the lake (food, gas, restrooms) you are bringing that potential Exposure into another community which is how it spreads. And you may not know you're sick, it is contagious for days before symptoms show up.

As far as I know no one here was around for WW2. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians put their lives on hold, most voluntarily, to support their Country and community. Many paid the ultimate price 

Now our country is asking something so simple and so easy, and all I see is people ranting about their freedom or government conspiracies. Shame on you all. Don't let me see you guys talking about being proud Canadians down the line. You are putting yourself before your country and your people.

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it. Right is right even if no one is doing it.

I live very close to the lake   if I drive I have zero contact with people   Walking a dog or going for a walk can not say the same 
most  ramps are most closed but not all and  And my small boat can be put in the water anywhere and it is just as legal to fish as walking , when they stop all legal activity I will obey as everyone should 
but at the moment it is legal exactly the same as walking only safer

I can be to either Lake St. Clair or Lake Erie within a half hour drive of my home. My boat will not be in the water until Covid-19 is done. Staying at home is such an easy thing to do.
