Hi Sean! It's been a while. Hope all is well! I was at the recent OFSC AGM and heard from one of your own but I didn't think of this question until after he left. I understand the lack of OPP presence on our trails because of economics and the lack of trained personnel. I've heard from a very reliable source that Huron and Perth County do not have one trained snowmobile OPP officer. They can only do enforcement at road crossings. Hence my question: Can the OPP charge snowmobilers at road crossings for not having an OFSC Trail Permit? I believe the OPP could charge for insurance or Val Tag infractions. However, would this area be considered "road allowance"/ Crown land and therefore the OFSC Trail Permit could not be enforced.? Thanks, Dan

Volunteer and board member. Outgo exceeds income, therefore upkeep becomes the downfall. Decrease in annual permit sales last year. Used to be 100K+, down to 80k. 15% reduction in trails. 30000kms down to 25500kms. Less groomers needed, However, if revenues increases, trails may be reinstated. 7% increase in permit price, That's the max that can be requested due to agreement with MTO. 4%+increase suggested by the OFSC last year was turned down by the membership(club presidents/chairs). Need more sales in seasonal permits. Lack of enforcement is an issue. Reach out to your MPP. We have local advocates for this: PETITION OFSC Final Vers.pdf Print it off and get some signatures. Not sure it will help the cause but something is better than nothing Send it to: Care of Krystle P.O. Box 131 Gooderham, ON K0M 1R0 It's not a happy place ATM. .

I lean right and I agree with you. PP is an idiot and he will never win the federal election. Must be still listening to Jenni. Need a mature adult to represent the Conservatives to be taken seriously. The people need to see a PM in waiting. He is not that. Hope the CPC picks a new leader in January.

Agreed. Let's hope the Liberals keep implementing more of the Conservatives' policy ideas. Time will tell. Maybe the Libs will move more to the center where they should be. Some of the cabinet picks make me think otherwise. Agreed. Probably turned off many voters, especially female ones. I lean right and I was so tired of the slogans. Just tell us how the Cons will run the country. Be a mensch! Maybe he will start acting like an adult in the near future so the Conservatives have a chance in the future. He needs to get rid of Jenni Byrne. I still think he was the wrong choice for the Con leader. Need an adult in the room. He's an idiot.

Have you tried looking in the 51st State?

I'd like to see AC come up with something unique for engine size. Be original. Build one that splits the difference between the 600 and 858 that the other OEMs don't produce. Maybe a 727? Would fill the hole in the 135-140hp range once Yamaha stops building the 1049 4-stroke for them.

Yes, he fucked up. He should have been promoting his sound policies now instead of slogans. He's had many years to prepare. PP is an idiot. Can't believe the Conservatives picked him as their leader. Scott Aitchinson would have been a better pick or even Jean Charest. However, IMO, the other options for PM are worse. As I have stated before, I wish Yves-François Blanchet was as pro Canada as he is pro Quebec. He may have been a good Conservative leader. No bullshit.

Enough to buy a B-last? ..lol..

Tariffs and trade wars do not create an enticing environment for acquisitions when a good bulk of your product is sold outside the USA. Perhaps when it's over, a buyer for AC may firm up.

Good! May need parts in the future.😉

Heard that last week. Small run of 2026 machines. Announcement of new owners in the next couple of weeks. Some dealers will be invited to TRF to meet them by the end of April.

Could be the stumbling block for the "new" owner.

Has Textron paid out Robby Gordon's $47M lawsuit yet?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy back the 407 and make it a public highway?

Hmm. Potential sales for currently a few thousand cans of Flex-Seal and guaranteed many more! Think it would be enough? It may be! Note to self. Buy stock in Flex-Seal.
