  1. So you saying that the problem actually lies with the municipalities and not the province. Got it.
  2. 02slow obviously didn't pick up what you were throwing down trailmaker. You should've said Ontario rather than Barrie in your post.
  3. I have a couple products that many would label Chinese garbage and I am completely happy with them. They function 100%, are of good quality and the purchase prices were attractive. Don't forget that it wasn't all that long ago everyone was laughing at this upstart auto maker named Hyundai and their sh*tty Pony hatchback. Nobody is laughing at those guys now.
  4. I know who my first guess would be. That dude has be pushing it for years running across from Floral Park.
  5. Well now that you point out we're talking about three squares a day here I can totally see the need for such a lengthy debate. By all means gentlemen, carry on.
  6. Maybe Kijiji. Paging Doctor StevieWonder...........
  7. Wow. Pretty gripping stuff here, great reading. Can the OP please change the name of this thread to "This discussion has gone to hell with posts about expensing lunch"
  8. Sounds like a bullshit story to me. What municipality lays their own asphalt any more? None that I am aware of, it's all sub-contracted to construction companies that have the equipment.
  9. You would think that a man in his position would have the knowledge of and access to pharmaceuticals that would bring things to a more pleasant conclusion.
  10. Sounds more like a double murder than murder suicide, but I guess you never know. Hanging from a waist height railing just seems really odd.
  11. X2 on the Antigravity brand of mini booster packs. I have a Microstart XP-1 and it has worked on everything from a dead ATV to a V10 Triton powered MH with a battery that was flatter than piss on a plate. By comparison my buddy bought a similar sized and looking unit from Crappy Tire and it was absolute garbage. I believe the largest one Antigravity makes is called the XP10. I know that unit will bring a stone dead Cummins diesel to life in -20 temps.
  12. That's a good deal. Once again Stevie is putting on a Kijiji clinic.
  13. I heard that B trail through Bigwind Park will be closed this year. It was bad enough losing D102B (the Baysville Expressway) due to the bridge fiasco, but this really drives a bunch of nails in the coffin.
  14. 04nightfire isn't too far from there. A few miles north as the crow flies.
  15. The economy is doing pretty well, anyone can see that. Baby boomers moving north does have an effect locally for some of the trades, but that has jack shit to do with new heavy truck dealerships, extruded pipe manufacturing or corporate expansion. Honestly the only guys I know that are complaining about cutbacks, wage freezes and increased work load all are employed by local municipalities or other public services (district health board etc.).
  16. I'm certainly not a fan of C u next Tuesday Wynne, but I certainly don't see any economic doom and gloom from where I'm standing, quite the opposite in fact. All the trades are busier than they have ever been, most are booked well into next summer. All of them are having trouble finding labour, even unskilled, and they all pay over $15/hr to start. A local manufacturer of extruded pipe is busier than they have ever been and are currently advertising job postings. Another manufacturer of stone products is taking orders into next spring and don't expect any winter lay offs. The company I work for recently made a $1 billion+ aquisition and they are still expanding. They even pay a pretty generous bonus for referrals of skilled workers that get hired. Currently there is a new heavy truck dealership being built right next to our shop, and a huge medical marijuana grow op around the corner. I could go on, but you get the idea. So as effed up as the Liberals social policies can be, and as badly as they have screwed up hydro with the Green Energy Act, they must be getting a few things right.
  17. The OFSC/government partnership that allowed police to patrol private property and prevented clubs from giving permits to landowners resulted in the loss of so many trails it's staggering. Blatant OFSC fuck up that drove yet another nail in the coffin.
  18. I see that you still have the Russian-spec Indy. Those sleds were a great deal.
  19. I think we'll get into a situation where almost every impaired by pot charge is going to be contested. The technology just isn't available to prove impairment and the Crown is going to have a tough time making those charges stick. Huge waste of resources.
  20. I heard a recent University of Calgary study confirmed even minimal exposure to second-hand pot smoke can result in a failed drug test. The lawyers are going to be dining out on contesting every driving while impaired by drugs charge. What a shite-show it is going to be.
  21. A couple inches in the hills east of Gravenhurst. At least double that in Bracebridge.
  22. I know this to be true. WTF are you doing on FS anyways? You'll never find any PE175 parts wasting your time on this site.
  23. Mission accomplished. Thank-you StevieWonder! Your unmatched Kijiji prowess has helped me out once again.
  24. Quite frankly I find it completely disgusting that anyone could think the victims of residential schools don't deserve an official apology and some sort of compensation. Same as those that were victimized by the 60's scoop.
  25. Thanks Stevie. You are the only guy I know that has his 5th-dan black belt in Kijiji. If one of those hoods is out there to be had, I'm sure you'll find it.
