We did the cuts as a district wide affair. There was online interactions, discussions, club level meetings and finally in person meetings with roughly 6 clubs per meeting. All were invited and encouraged to participate. No one was forced to cut dead end trails. It was actually very civil, and best usage based. Not sure how other districts did it, but D9 saw what could have been a club specific reduction and nixed that. We look at it more as a chain. Your chain may be strong and bright, but if the club beside you is hanging on by a thread the system is doomed. We managed to reopen most of our closed stuff. The exception being a trail that went thru Hydro One owned property, There is no end in sight for that MOU issue. We'll be back in this boat by next year.

I think the money ponied up actually makes things worse. It had taken many months to get districts to rationalize trails, come up with 100km plus per groomer plans, and generally streamline things. The future is less, not more. Think of it as many were forced into rehab, only to have Doug toss them a one time bag of crack. I've heard many are demanding the groomers that were surplused out with the changes, back so they can return to short runs and the fiscal cliff we are still on. There would have been much smaller cuts in the trail network necessary, if MOTS had been implemented by all. The groomer rationalization began 10 years ago. Only a couple districts took it on.

Anyone at the agm? Lots of changes again this year. Bottom line is expenses are far outpacing revenue. Buy a permit, volunteer, or this could be the beginning of the end.

I work for a living, always have. Canada Post needs to be allowed to collapse and be reborn, as a one day a week service with satellite locations. I've listened to Tom Korski of Blacklock's a couple times a week for a few years and have never paid a dime. I find his reporting in depth and factual. In contrast, I am forced to pay for a broadcaster I find lies and deceives me constantly. The irony.

Blacklock's is lies? Please, post something from them that is a lie. Canada post is best left to sort its own financial woes out. Mail delivery is something from a bygone era, for the most part. The dope handed them a non forgivable 1 billion dollar loan. Care to wager if that actually gets paid back?

Trump would prefer to deal with Carney. Better to go up against your lesser, than your better. You should not want the same thing, as the guy who has made it his 4 year goal of annexation or destroying our economy.

Once ALL the carbon charges are removed, at every level, and people spend thousands less every year, only the ill informed will miss the rebate of hundreds of dollars.

I hade to raise my per hour price, partly because of the cost of fuel. Carney is going to add to the OBPS, so how exactly will that make things more affordable? Rebel news was not allowed in. Carney is in Europe giving handjobs to all his globalist buddies. I hope Alberta can muster the courage to pull a Quebec, and try separation. Many Ontarians will move. Between Ford, Trudeau and now Carney, this province is circling the drain.

The carbon tax is more than the gas itself. At least this way it's seen, and remember, this is only half way to the legislated price. Carney just wants to hide it, unlike Pierre who has vowed to remove it, period. Carney didn't cancel the tax last week with the OIC, as much of the media clapping seals have claimed, he is trying to stop the April 1 increase. The CBC has slammed the propaganda machine into high gear. Mark the marxist, he didn't come back for you.

He didn't let in media who were going to ask him tough questions.

I buy 1000 liters of gasoline in bulk. I get an itemized bill. Every charge, tax etc. On that roughly $1700 bill, is a line F.C,T Federal Carbon Tax. It's roughly $250, every time. Multiply that by 10 times a year and that's $2500, in gasoline alone. Natural gas is there as well, There are countless others, hidden in everything I buy. If nobody cares about guns, why do I have one in my cabinet, that I bought legally, that I'd be a criminal if I take out and hunt with. There are also 2 others I can not sell, and upon my death my estate can not sell. That seems somehow unfair if not criminal. The topic came up again last week, brought up by Trudeau. Drop the gun bullshit of the last 9 years and there will have only been limited harm to my rights. Harm none the less, but less, Nobody cares about the capital gains, (me included) but Trudeau went there anyway in the first place. Technically you are correct, Trudeau did build Canada's only government pipeline. If we build a few more with any government than I don't care which government that is. You're 1 for 4

Get rid of the carbon taxes, period full stop. Carney has said he will attempt to hide a new carbon tax by making corporations pay it. How is he going to make the highest emitting corporations in the US, China and India pay his tax? They won't and our businesses who employ Canadians will suffer. His "acumen" believes this will not affect the price of what the product will sell for, and believes we are stupid enough to believe it.' He is fully on board to start a nightmarish ordeal of trying to confiscating legal firearms, from people who legally own them, all the while doing nothing to criminals that use guns. He is now against making the rich pay, with a higher capital gains tax on assets outside the primary residence whereas he was the advisor to Trudeau who came up with the idea. He says different things to one audience and another about energy, monetary policy and pipelines etc. These are but a couple examples of what an opportunistic, liar he is. Mark Carney....He didn't come back for you.

Carney is just Trudeau with a bald spot, yet somehow he exudes even more hubris. That is quite a feat in itself. He will have the same overspending, carbon taxing policies that have plagued Canada for the last 9 years. I hope I'm wrong, but nothing Carney has said or done, points in a different direction.

David Menzies is many things. Brash, annoying, wrong on many things but I wouldn't call him a loser.

Sad, but not unforeseen. Yamaha knew they been hoodwinked and left the party before it went sideways, or so they hoped. If the Cat network collapses there will be many people rightly angry. Where do i get parts for my actual Yamaha now is my concern down the road.
