I am doing my best to remain positive - a large part of that has to do with the red lines all around where we are located - nice to see how much trail(s) survived.   That said, I don't think people are "spinning" anything, mostly everything I have been reading has just been reality, not spin.  

There is still good things happening if you look for it vs the bad and how people are spinning it…..ASC has been working away at a new new extension for a groomer storage with all donated money. 

River is iced and snow covered, snow is adding up. It is shaping up, for a start. Ski

If you have business A that operates in 100 locations across Canada and location 1.2.3 see a decline in business, the business needs to decide to keep presence at a loss or break even to weather the storm or shut it down based on reduced sales, local hurtles, provincial incentives, long range outlook, etc…regardless of what they sell.  All my point was is if shops are closing here in Ontario, I wonder if the same is happening in other provinces to the same degree based on declines regionally within the Powersports world.    BC has a huge mountain segment that I’m sure isn’t doing great, but how bad is it, QC has a large tourist attraction in this sport with a much more favorable season and NB seems to have a large Powersports group that from my understanding are made up more of older machines vs new iron…hence my three examples for comparison purposes of places closing within the Powersports industry. 

Same industry, sure, but not necessarily the same challenges day to day. The only similarities a shop in one province would have to another is a sign on the outside, bringing a unit in - putting on the floor - and seeing it go out the door.   Beyond that - it's hard to compare anything really.
