Maybe hunkering down and running lean to weather the current crap storms is the right thing to do ?   Hopefully we have another great snow season this year and it increases permit sales during and in the back end of this season,  and sets the stage for further increases next season. Though if the economy keeps dumping and we see further decreases, then we are already a step head in the right direction.    Will Quebec's price increase this season off set things for them to run a normal season ? Will it effect their permit sales, especially after a couple crappy snow seasons for them last year by their snow standards ?    I don't know if you guys noticed, but there's a reason sled dealers are sitting on more old stock then we've ever seen, and Yamaha bailed on sledding. These things are happening globally, not just in Ontario. 

Trump the bogey man!  Enough enabling poor performance and blaming others.     Our governments policies for the last 10years are driving our poor economic recovery.   Trump did not stop Canadians from building pipelines, developing the northern mines and selling out natural gas and oil at full market prices!!    Or protecting dairy industry monopoly!   Trump loves Liberals and those who blame Trump for all their issues.  They are the ones enabling Trump!!   Get rid of all of that red tape and beauracratic bull crap and  watch what happens.    

His tariffs are greatly effecting our economic recovery 

completely agree.   we are at a point where it’s time to push the chips in and call it.   put up, or shut up.   if they disappear, so be it, they were fringe to begin with. Sport can’t survive on fringe, you’re either in or you are out.   life support…. It’s not for everyone.

Here is what we do know. The current model, combined with current conditions is not working.   What we are doing:   sticking with the formula, but reducing/shedding   That is a very reactionary short term and short sighted plan.   what we do not know,   what is the plan moving forward?    if it’s stick to the formula and keep shedding, we’re friged.
