And who's paying for that? Looking forward to a COVID tax are ya?
Scared? Stay home and destroy your own future, no ones stopping you. People need to stop projecting their hang-ups and fears onto everyone else.
If speaking out and questioning things benefits the well being of my children's education, mental state, physical state, future, and gets those of us willing to live in this world, as safely as we can back to normal, then I shall.
I agree, if you're not comfortable or worried, then stay home - I will happily take my health and protection of myself into my own hands.

Anyone thinking all the preemptive trail closures are just going to fuel the intitled base, and make even more riding closed trails, tresspassing etc etc even more of an issue, which will lead to yet even more problems in the sport.
Being the pessimist that I am, for sure I do.
I can't see those idiots already willing to do stupid stuff all of the sudden have a change of heart and think...........

I just read they have two new covid cases in North Bay-Parry Sound districts. Neither one is related to snowmobiling. One is travel related and the other was in contact with someone with covid. Both were in the 60-79 age groups.
Oh, well, we'd better lock everyone in their houses then and close our regional border.

I wonder if a club could/would challenge this in court.
No chance, they would get the Roman Baber treatment, you want your funding and assistance?, then tow the line, shut it, and do as we say.

Yes that sounds all fine and dandy but in all actuality the provincial stay at home order is a regulation and not a law, passed by an Order in Council. Its does not and cannot supercede any law made previously by a provincial Act, Federal Act or The Constitution Act.......... The mere fact that we are allowing Health Units sway over a provincially regulated activity is a huge concern.
if we allow non elected officials sway or legality over anything that is provincial not only is it a huge problem but in effect Unconstitutional.
Guys like you know who will just back and in the armchair "listen to the doctors", and therein lies the problem, complete complacency., no questions asked, just take it, spoon fed and lead.

What do all you armchair internet doctors know anyways.......
Easy to blame people who choose to ride with all these "reports" of breaking the rules.....
Although I am sure they were some that did, but I am also guessing that it was a very small percentage of sledders that did. I know a couple of guys that went to NB to ride this past Sat, they each drove their own trucks to ride the day together, packed food, drinks, etc.... so they could enjoy themselves and still be responsible given the environment.
Or maybe easier targets because they rode and you did not because of choices you made.
Or all the paranoid folks that are living in fear right now, not working as a result of that, that have nothing better to do with all their government paid free time off that sit and watch out their window at all the other people trying to get on with life, issuing complaints about what they see...
Sorry if I sound a wee bit jaded....
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seemed to me with all these systems in place, the "COVID-19 task force" was able to get a pretty good idea where one might be getting infected by, if so, would that not tell the tale of infections and where it came from to properly point the finger as to where the problem is with some level of intelligence?
Seems to be another knee jerk reaction, not because there is really a spike in positive cases or in facet people not following protocols, more so because people are not "following the stay at home order", so this is what we will do to fix that.
So just to be clear:
- Group of riders drive north for the day to ride
- They ride together for the day wearing a helmet for my guess 90% of the time
- Cannot go to or in any establishments to possibly "spread the virus" that they might have
- End of the day, they come home
Sounds like we have a pretty serious risk on our hands here.....
Only a complete moron would sense ANY risk in this, it's beyond stupidity, it's "special"

Off the top of my head, might've been Winter '95. Winter '96 started for me mid Nov', the day after the deer hunt ended. Put 40 miles on the 440 running forest access roads around Eels Lake and never stopped. My friends in Timmins said sledders they knew parked their sleds in April as they had run out of places to ride. That winter was 1 of my best before I started doing trips up north in 2000.
Right now @ 9:30
Doesn't look like much is open in the PSSD
I was going to say 95/96 was amazing, I picked up my brand new 96 XLT on the 14th of November/95 and had 600 miles of weekends only by Chrsitmas, finished the winter with 3500 miles and traded it.

I know, this penalizes the local sledders too, not just us southerners.
It sure does, and those locals should be a lot more vocal and start pushing back.

Any stats on who's getting COVID? Are these people travelling out of the hot spots?
They are, but from LTC to ICU

From the CTV article:
So can I drive up to NB and go cycling? (asking for a friend)
Should be, doesn't say MUST be.
no law broken, doing nothing wrong, hence the knee jerk reaction.

I agree with you. Never once have i complained about the $$. Never will. I just want to ride. Period. So much time and effort goes into this sport, and now this. I had a thought. If you can make it thru this season owning a sled, and continue next season, you definitely have the sledding disease. Mrs Turbo Doo says don't list stuff for sale, I'll regret it, but its sure damn tempting to doo so. Makes me wonder, what is Doo gonna Doo to get me in the showroom in the spring.
..Maybe we will see you in the NCDN in march, but im not betting on it..
Who will be buying stuff with nowhere to go?

I have received many complaints about people travelling from other districts to use the local snowmobile trails
Wonder how much research went into this , to assess the validity of the complaints..
To be fair, there is no law prohibiting that travel, so..........
Asymptomatic don't spread, if you have Covid, you are at home, wtf is the problem here.

Because they are internet facts only... you know... if it's on the internet it must be true. Lake Ontario is gradually evolving from a fresh water lake to salty ocean water since it is connected to the Atlantic by the St. Lawrence... I read it on the internet so it must be true.
Publicly challenge your boss in any situation has consequences. Try similar in business and your looking at EI
When it comes to expert opinion do you want that of the most senior experienced experts or do you want the quasi experts. He selectively quotes the armchair experts. Something like the person who says the hospitals can't be at risk of being overwhelmed and the staff exhausted because they saw an empty emergency waiting room. That's their expert opinion without looking at the rest of the massive hospital beyond that room.
As for MPP Hilliier... his 2 sons were arrested in Perth for refusing to wear a mask in a local bar.

As to your first point, instead of reading CBC all day, try looking it up on the Ministry sites - it's right there for you to read, plain English and clear as clear can be.
To your second point, like in anything else in this world, experts vary, opinions vary, and that is the point.
I guess instead of hiring my own experts in my day to day, I should just take the Plaintiff counsel expert reports and pay.
Give your head a shake.
The point is, there is BS on all sides and some truths everywhere, but you need to decide where you sit on it rather than sit back and be spoon fed.
Nothing wrong with speaking up, nothing wrong with having a voice.
The fact he was removed and not one single thing in his letter refuted speaks volumes.

Sorry for the confusion...next riding over....Randy Hillier (Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston)
Before the 2018 election, Baber was a lawyer, primarily in the areas of insurance and commercial litigation, and is not a medical professional. Probably caved in to his campaign donors.
Outline of story:

He quoted his reference data, it's correct, truth hurts.

Thanks for contacting your PHU. If I accept their response, I guess it would follow that the thousands of us in the GTHA who have bought permits are $hit out of luck, since there are no OFSC trails anywhere near our PHU. I tend to disagree with that interpretation, and side with my libertarian leaning friends who guarantee right of passage for me, my truck, trailer and sled to the open trail of my choice. I won't go first though.
Use good reasonable judgement - it's all you can do, we all share the same oxygen, regardless of what PHU you live in

Lol, yeah, well, send me home with a million dollar severance, the other one launched a 2.5 million dollar wrongful suit, he will win too, reality is they are all laughing at us regular people. Enjoy your freedom
