All over the country, politicians who broke or otherwise flaunted travel restrictions are getting publicly slapped around, demoted or fired. 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 I was referring to the POLITICIANS that you were maligning. Your above examples are not politicians. I enjoy my freedom every day in this country, and I have benefitted from our health system, which is not perfect, but is not full of nut cases as some are suggesting. Relax a little and carry on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that too, definitely didn’t help the situation, and probably more of a reason to close trails then reports of alleged southerners riding trails. The NBPS health unit is going above and beyond with the trail closures as well as previously closing all the outdoor rinks and toboggan hills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the article & the residents don't seem to be completely against sledders. Quote The residents have noted the increase in traffic volume this year and have proposed it be diverted to lake access points in less residential areas, citing the Memorial Drive waterfront and Champlain Park at the end of Premier Road as two prime, uninhabited locations. The launch has long been a winter access point to frozen Lake Nipissing for snowmobiles and vehicles towing ice fishing huts. The nearby homeowners say this winter has been far busier than any other they've experienced in the past, with the increase in volume, they believe, due to the pandemic and people having extra time on their hands to enjoy the great outdoors. The neighbours point out they count ice fishing and snowmobiling among their favourite pastimes, too. They have been hoping the locals and visitors launching from Sunset Park would show a little more respect with their actions — especially nearest to the residential area.

I've been by our clubhouse a few times & there hasn't been anyone hanging around there. Passed a group just south of Harcourt & they seemed to be congregated in too close of an area, but that's just my opinion, take it for what it's worth LOL No, I didn't call the HKPR Health Unit to rat them out.

manotickmike Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Can't blame Dr. (whateverhisnameis) Can't let Dr. Phil. and Dr. Tam have all the attention. I just feel sorry for the NB area sledders. God forbid they should leave that area and ride elsewhere. That would be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to text my trucker friend that lives just south of the boat launch @ Olmstead Beach/Armstrong Park. See if he's noticed any influx of trailers there (if Trout Lake is safe). He suggested I stage there a few years ago for a ride since the street in front their house resembled a ginormous slush pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t hide behind my keyboard and lie, yes I was sledding. I live in Vaughan and trailered to Barrie club house, my sled was already full of fuel before leaving, I didn’t go anywhere but staying on the trail, brought snacks from home, didn’t get fuel as I only did 190km. Was it the right thing to do, probably not. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
