  1. I know when I had Bell I couldn't use any IPTV services, and my son also couldn't use his PS5 because of Bell restrictions. When I called my IPTV provider the first thing he asked was if I was using Bell. When we switched to Niagara Regional Broadand (NRB) suddenly everything worked. Not sure if this is a similar issue with certain internet providers as of recent 

  2. I wish I could help more but I have zero tech skills. I only use my cell phone to access this site and I have had no issues posting or responding. Not sure if it has something to do with samsung vs Apple vs home computer? Hope its resolved soon, getting lonely talking to myself lol.

  3. I've been on the waiting list for 2 years now with the Bertie Boat club. Only want a launch pass, no intention of leaving my boat there. Spoke to Manager today and doesn't look good for this year either. I normally use Crystal Beach but it's been getting worse and worse last couple years. They are predicting this year to be ever busier 🤮

  4. I think the days of regular working class people being able to afford pickup trucks is gone. I have a 2014 F150 that I'll drive into the grave. I cant afford 70k for a new truck, and if the liberals start taxing trucks and SUVs it will be even more difficult. The end goal of the liberals is to have everyone eventually driving electric vehicles, and/or  little fuel efficient cars. This country is going down the toilet fast.

    This corner of my back yard was once my 20' x 30' veg. garden . The big maple tree next to it has very thick fibrous roots that are near the surface & nothing will grow ....except some grass & many weeds . Today I was shocked to see it looked like someone took a rototiller to it  ....at least 150 holes or more covering an area about 16' x 20'  !

    I'm assuming it was a skunk or 2 , & the yard is 99% fenced with vinyl chain link fencing .  I have been here since 1981  & never had this happen . Worms don't live in this area as the tree roots are too thick right to the surface .  So , I'm guessing , skunk(s) ?

    Had the same issue before. Skunks digging up grubs. Went to the states years ago and brought grub killer. Sprayed yard and the next day I literally had 500 dead grubs on surface. Grass grew back nice and thick.

    Can you go over the borderline  with no proof of vaxx?

    No you cant go to U.S without being vaxxed but coming back into Canada you still need a pharmacy issued negative test , and the Return to Canada app stuff all filled out. Major pain in the ass for a quick trip. 

  7. It was like that for a bit but now you still need an official test to get back, plus the return Can app bullshit. I used to be able to go for gas, groceries,  beer round trip in an hour. I called the place I always go for gas and it's around 3.50 a gallon. After conversion etc it works out to about 1.17 canadian a litre. Massive saving on my pickup truck and 3 Jerry cans . Plus 20$ 30 packs of beer

    I got stopped on the grand river a few years back in my sportspal canoe with an electric, and the OPP wanted

    to see my Pleasure Craft card. According to them, any type of motor on anything needs this card.

     

    I believe that is correct.  Any motor electric or gas, seadoo etc need a pleasure craft licence. The only difference is the actual vessel does not need to be registered with an identification number on it if the motor is less than 10 HP

    If you zoom in really close you can see the 18 snowmobilers and ATV riders floating away on a piece of ice
