smerchly Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Saw on the CH News tonight they are talking about banning people from using the pier ....seems there was a lawsuit in 2017 now being addressed in the courts ? Seems like we getting to be like Americans .....like suing and getting thousands for spilling a coffee on ones lap . I don't know what's behind this and I hope they don't close it down ....How about a sign "Use at your own risk" ?? ...or Don't eat the fish" ...

Snags Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Taking access away is an easy way to prevent lawsuits. Regardless of the signage USE AT OWN RISK, a good lawyer will try. Canada is not like the US in the compensation side of lawsuits, however the easy way to stop them is to shut them down. See how many waters that hydro uses and they have shut people away from, while it is for your own safety, it is also cause they don't want to deal with a lawsuit regardless of how stupid you may be.

Tyler0420 Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Never caught anything off the pier but I hear at the right time of year it’s pretty good for carp. did they slip on some goose $hit, now suing for it not being cleaned up? why can’t people just work instead of finding an easy way out.

Those who b-i-t-c-h and scream the loudest get what they want, doesn't seem to matter if it makes sense...right Mr. Potato Head? This will start a never ending war on our culture . There are plenty of products which will need to be "neutered " . Barbi and Ken doll will need to be "twins" . The femmes today still strive to look like Barbi lol....tall , thin , big eyes with the brow painted on the forehead, glued on eye lashes , painted face , "enhanced lips" & hips , coloured hair do's , ear trinkets , and the "perfect frame , ( 36-24-36 ) ...or 44 -22-44 . Isn't it great what they do for us chauvinistic males ! . Carry on ladies !! Me thinks the weed is too strong these days . Maybe the covid isolation has created so much boredom among some people they have nothing better to do than try to neuter the world . It ain't gonna work !! Keep up the fight Miss Barbi and Mr.Ken !! .....time to eat my pan cakes now,,, with Mrs.Butterworth's syrup .....my aunt Jemima is awol ..... I read some of the Spec today but cannot find anything on the pier situation ( Sun Media blocks non paying members from reading full stories ),,,, lots of other papers to read) !

smerchly Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I did the petition ...then they said "no hyphen in phone number" so I used straight numbers no hyphen no spacing . Then copy a code number ... At the end they show a pen and want a signature ? ....I tried , but not ! I think they want to make it difficult to get what they want to impose on us ...... I fear the same fate for Port Dalhousie peers ..... we MUST stop this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Tried again .....and a page comes up to sign in , pass word , etc . then asked if you are an " E -Petitioner " . do they want to see my bank book as well ? I hope we can get thousands of people (and the mayor) to show up at the piers ....numbers matter ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rab546 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Signed, Although I don't fish the pier any access that we can help avoid losing we should all stand together to help prevent because it could be your favorite spot next. So much access has already disappeared in the last 20 years and will continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Many more people are getting into outdoor activities , a result of the c19 .....I expect to see more people fishing as more are fishing from shore , more interest in carp fishing , and enjoying being out doors . We need to keep the fishing spots we have left OPEN !! Keep our tackle shops in business !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
