signfan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Read into it in more detail. Some smart moves being made from what I've read. Too bad CTV decided to frame it in the manner they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 From my first reading of the headline, i thought sledding was going to cancelled all together..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Those proposed changes seem ok, province has to respond to reckless behaviour and riders with zero experience..... there is too much of that here in Ontario too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 like in ontario, good luck on getting the opp to enforce speeding. there just isnt enough budget, time, or staffing to patrol for sleds, atvs, when the general public needs services. there will be a few "weekend round ups", and check points but, it isnt going to be every day, or every weekend.

Ski I have to admit, each time we are in Quebec for a tour, we have seen a far greater police presence, then here in Ontario, trail side. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Government budget is out of control with Covid and less taxes coming in too. Nurse association Claims they are laying off nurses now too, when we need them most. Going to have to cut back on police, fire etc to balance books in future. Going to get ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yep, praise the nurses and tell them how essential they have been during the crisis and then, BOOM, lay them off. Thanks for helping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski I don't believe it ever has been every day in Ontario and very seldom (if ever) every weekend within OPP Districts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 plc, that was what i was trying to infer. no time, budget or staff for every day sled, atv, patrolling. Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
