Ottawa has 18 Covid patients hospitalized, Zero in ICU. Over 1,000,000 people.
Doug Ford, "Lock her down!"
Makes perfect sense.

Gambled and didn't sell the sleds when the market was hot.
That'll teach me to get emotionally invested in an activity controlled by a government.
Let's face it, we all saw this coming when they offered trail passes months early this year.
Barring a miracle, this sport will go the way of windsurfing.

Is there evidence the lockdowns have an effect?

Thanks! I'll play with this tomorrow!

Somebody link the OFSC to this...
Please.

Not going to hold out much hope, but not going to give up on a $3.99 app.
There's no reason to have a less than stellar tool at our disposal.
Our neighbors have a beauty right next door.
There's ZERO need to re-invent the wheel.

For the 1st year back into sledding I have passed on the QC permit this year.
Sad, but I have little faith in politicians, let alone local BS. Last Spring, our borders were selectively closed, by local cops, even friends with property there were denied access.
In one direction. Note there was zero restrictions on the 1000s of construction workers headed here, and others who work in Ontario, and live much cheaper in QC.
It will be my go-to if Ontario trails shut down. Miles and miles of logging roads and others to be enjoyed. Much closer than Ontario Crown Land.

Hoping it's worth having this year.
Maybe the developers had a peek at the Quebec app.
For science.

Had to deal with our home insurance, we are insuring 3, our investment house, our current home (sold to a developer, we're in it as long as we need it) and our new buy, not quite ready to be in as of the time of the call. It got complicated, but you'd think with 3 policies I'd get reasonable, if not slightly preferential treatment. Who has 3 home policies?? Nope. Threats and headaches.
45 minute waits, and 2+ hour calls were the norm. Calls were answered by an agent in Newfoundland.
It's Diane's insurance co, had her home policy since the 80s.
Was a small local, now bought several times, a large conglomeration.
When I deal with my Desjardins (Was State Farm, only company remotely interested in green plated dirt bikes) for my 2 sleds, 2 bikes, and RV, I know who's picking up the phone, and who's going to be answering my questions.
It's a local call. I've never waited more than 3 rings to hear a familiar voice say hello.
-
About all we can do these days is threaten to call police.
And wait for a report number.
So we can call our insurance.
Every year we hear of dozens of thefts, virtually NO apprehensions.
-
Next year's insurance rates will reflect this.
We need clearly defined Castle Laws in Canada.
Theft would likely drop if we were legally allowed to protect out property on our property.

I respectfully disagree with "hiding" trails. I'd be all for it if it worked.
In the opinion of my local club presidents, it accomplishes nothing.
What's required is enforcement, which for some reason, the government will not provide, or allow the clubs to have any enforcement tools.
Every trail I drive by in my area that isn't through a corn field is a mucky rutted mess. Boulders and barriers are winched away.
I'd like to see the stats of actual arrests and convictions for trespassing.

Ridiculous.
This is as weak as taking down the ITG.
Did the paper maps all self-destruct?
From a secrecy standpoint, it's like watching Get Smart.
If anyone actually cared about trail abuse and trespassing, they'd step up enforcement, not pretend the trails vanish.

Another year of record freeze and thaw cycles?
Mother Nature sure has been flaky.
Government weed smoking flaky.

I'd be willing to bet you could cross the province with that, and not get stopped.

I tow an empty 1650 pound enclosed tandem trailer and somehow it takes more fuel more than to drive 2 F150s.
Mystery.

Price and location?
Asking for a friend...

Sadly, more smoke and mirrors.
Don't wear a mask, wear a mask....
Don't close a trail system.....

Close establishments if you feel it will get you votes, closing trails nets nothing.

Thanks, Ottawa, for not being dicks again this year. I'm willing to bet not a lot of passes were sold locally this year up to now, considering last year's ridiculous political boondoggle.
If only the other A trail issue could be solved now.

Just keep calling the people with facts "conspiracy theorists".
That'll work.
Keep the fear alive!
