Good stuff

But many politicians and those in higher level management positions within our public sectors, are in the well off to very well of bracket that are suing us the tax payer for more poor decisions made recently.

Better get out and ride than on the weekend or better yet a week-day (if you can)......I will add responsibly though - not that I think it will really mater given the mind set of so many with already preconceived judgements). Improving conditions, open trails and with the colder temps happening this week, the lakes will be getting better......safe, not sure.

You are thinking very selfishly, not using any common sense and living in your own snowmobiler bubble...............

This maybe ^^^

This is a pretty interesting article from a person that appears to have a great deal of knowledge, exposure and training with what we are dealing with. Not sure if this has been posted already though. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/corbella-10?fbclid=IwAR2kLEwrSgRsA4Pe0S0Sk9Vg1W4wrB6aAE5quszi83HExIWjeyIUOmzvqr8

Kind of makes you go, hmmmmm......

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.....

No more "likes" for this.....but seems to be more common sense approaches, and not from the "armchair" committee.....

I do not know, but if it is not all that good, perhaps consider staging at Tory Hill and hit the ib & O rail line there & head North. Depending where you drive from, not much further and conditions were pretty good last week and I am guessing might see a little less traffic.

If that is what you believe to be happening and you are happy with it, what more can be said.

Better get out and than!

I have never actually had one on the trails, or the road come to think of it, but it seems to becoming more commonly heard as happening on the trails. With the MADD program that has caused these random checks to be allowed, I do not think they need any reason to do this. Some officers like to look a little harder and perhaps inadvertently want to dig, just because they can...... FTR, I am good with the checks, but I would like to think before a breath test is done on a person, they have some tell tale sign to justify it.

My thoughts on waiting, is future changes that might truly change the atmosphere. I hope not, but with the craziness of what is going on, you never know.

x3, we all do! But that brings up another gray area, can I ride, where can I ride, will I get a ticket, will my truck get damaged, will I get yelled at....

It is really does not take much to simply look around and see what decisions are being made for a small percentage but yet impacts a much larger group so negatively. Ford should have opened up the discussions that Baber brought to the table from the people he represents i.e. doing his job, to show that it is all false, but that would have shown the other MPP's that might be on the fence about speaking out regarding this, but afraid too, that they can given that other MPP's have the same thoughts or people asking the same questions......kicking him out killed two birds with one stone, removed the person going against the grain and influenced others not to take the same path - quite the communist if you ask me! It is very hard to see the forest through the trees.....

This week just might be what is needed to do that!

So is a lock down and stay at home order.....

I assume that is Kennisis......if so, how much ice?

Post Card Pictures. Very Nice

Police cannot randomly stop you simply to ask where you going, furthermore, if they did, there are so many options that you can pick from as to why you are out that fall into the essential list. Exercising IS classified as essential.....hence why people are stating while riding, "out exercising"..... which is great. Do something within the list of a acceptable options, that increases the possible risk of furthering the spread, and I would imagine you will see a fine. Empowering so many people though to make these decisions regarding the fines, to me is going to be a disaster. Bylaw officers do not have the same training as a police officer when it comes to exercising common sense as to the letter of the law, which will result in an even more overloaded court system. At the end if the day, we are big boys and girls, you need to do what you are comfortable with for your family & you given how you interpret what has been made known or put in place at this time.....do not look for people on forums, Facebook to spell that out for you. Unfortunately people will still make poor decisions, but that is the society we live in where you are allowed to make these whether you agree or not, if you do not like it, there are countries that take those rights away from you, perhaps consider living there. If you are really looking for something to be upset about, maybe consider what just happened with the PC MPP being kicked out for representing the thoughts & opinions of the people he represents or others within the province. Whether you agree with the lock down or not, when an MPP takes the concerns or voices of the people that elected him to do so, to his party and that same government does not agree with that resulting in being removed, that is a huge problem with me and not the way the system is supposed to work. I already asked my MPP if she was in fear of speaking her mind or the minds of the people that elected her in fear of what jus happened to this MPP......will I get a reply, not likely.....

Yep, saw that too.

What a surprise, wrong information being provided.....but in fairness, even the police and fire chiefs were questioning the new restrictions, it went something along the lines, how can I train or request my team to enforce rules that the SLM does not even understand.....

Read that a few weeks when someone posted it. Must say, very interesting. Going against the grain with his old German way of forest management.....that seems to work.

I thought I read that they did what they did due to not knowing what the line was, seeing as it was very hazy......so erroring on the side of caution. Sounds like they now know where the line is drawn, which is people can ride from outside that health district, but recommended not too. People still need to take the required precautions given the atmosphere we are currently "living" in.....so we can ALL continue to enjoy our awesome sport!
