As far as I am concerned, the reason we are in such a mess is too much listening to the government & allowing the government to do what they have done given that they have handled this entire situation so poorly.....prime example is the Dr that has closed the PS/NB region with little to no valid reason or proof and then to see the province actually put this same region in the same category as Toronto, Peel and York region....talk about nuts To your last comment, and to lay blame on sledding, and the influx of partying yahoo sledders coming into town, spreading covid, and then to have people that live in NB, travelling, and bringing it home. Makes yah wonder. Great post Stoney.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explained to me how he encountered 4 cross country skiers on his property and how they were frantically waving their ski poles as he approached on his sled. Thinking they may have needed assistance he slowly approached and shutdown his machine . He was immediately barraged with a bunch of 4 letter profanity laced threats telling him f’ing sleds are not allowed on the trail. He responded with, perhaps you didn’t see the no trespassing signs posted on the property. I own this property, so get off it now. Being an avid sledder is the only reason he allows the trail on his land. That being said he is getting annoyed at sledders riding off trail. Could be another lost trail in the future. Did he escort the tree huggers off his property? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did make sure they made it safely back off his property. They told him he would be reported to the local health unit and would be charged by the police for breaking safety protocol. He told them to enjoy the rest of their day and left it at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entitled (fill in the blank). I guess in their eyes I was breaking the law cutting & hauling firewood on our woodlot. I wonder where they were from. When I was filling a gas can @ the garage on Sat', there were 2 cars of millenials filling up. No idea what language they were speaking. It wasn't Cree, German or French...

manotickmike Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Rules, laws, lockdowns. Been ignoring all since March. As best I can. Things to do, people to see, places to go. I only follow rules that are enforceable, or that make sense to me. Wear wool if you wish. I refuse. ASSuming we get past this nonsense, this will make a great class study for a history lesson one day. "WTF were those people thinking? Didn't anyone speak up? Did anyone suffer any consequences for perpetrating this?" Etc. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all the kids of this blip in our life will now be referred to as or labelled generation C-19, or whatever it will be called...... lack of social skills lack of sporting lack of education afraid of others fear of seeing people or having face/face interaction (new play date with friends will now be preferred to be a zoom call......) etc....

Dying to see my sister and neices in the states Not heard aboot Canada's numbers yet, but I did hear a report that said that the Yank's numbers were down to mid November numbers (before the big outbreak started). Since we are still well within "flu season" I never would have expected this _ this early. Seems like a WAY positive trend! Not sure that I would give much credit to the "vaccines" already either....

KearneyCookhouse Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit is reporting the passing of an individual who was part of the COVID-19 Community Outbreak at Skyline – Lancelot Apartments. The individual had a preliminary positive result for a COVID-19 Variant of Concern (VOC). This marks the second death in the region during the pandemic, the first in the Nipissing District. 29 people have been infected in the Lancelot Apartment outbreak. “I offer my sincere condolences to the individual’s family and friends and my thoughts are with them during this difficult time,” says Dr. Jim Chirico, Medical Officer of Health. “This is the second death within our Health Unit district associated with COVID-19. This is someone’s family member and friend. It is critical we continue to work together to help stop the spread of VOCs and COVID-19 in our region, possibly preventing future deaths.” The Health Unit says that scientists and medical professionals are concerned that VOCs are more transmissible than the original coronavirus, and research is ongoing to determine the effectiveness of currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines against them. Therefore, individuals within the district are asked to continue taking all COVID-19 precautions seriously and to continue with these measures even once they have received the COVID-19 vaccine. “The public is the first line of defence,” stated the Health Unit. “By continuing to stay home, regularly washing our hands or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers, wearing a face covering, physically distancing, not touching our face and coughing or sneezing into our sleeve, we can work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 VOCs within our district. Everyone has a social responsibility to follow the recommendations and to be kind to each other. These difficult times can have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. If you need to speak to someone, visit the Health Unit’s website to find mental health services in your area.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
