Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Why I will never return, spend money in Canada

Canada has not been US friends since the 1990's why should we support

Come on, man. Don't be so rash. Can we talk about it?

Not sure what your issue(s) are, but each successive Liberal govt has moved us further to the socialist left.
When we do manage to elect a conservative govt , they don’t last long enough to repair much of the damage inflicted.

And so the pendulum swings …

What a load of crap. GD

Agreed. It would be interesting to know the rational. The statement would be similar to a Canadian saying all Americans are arrogant.

What is your reasoning?

I am not keeping up with all your law changes for firearms, but I just heard from a friend that his buddy in Ontario has quite a few Remington 742's and now they are illegal??? Is that so?

Good morning to you, I trust it's morning already out in Michigan - still dark here in southern BC - and that you're well.

There was up until a few days ago an amendment to the Liberal/NDP/Green/BQ supported firearm bill C21 which laid the groundwork to ban at least half of the firearms in Canada immediately and then the rest through the use of the term "variant".

Included in the immediate bans were Weatherby Mk V, Christenson Arms, Ruger No 1, Brazilian Mauser, Mauser sporter and the list went on for 378 pages.

This was an amendment to a bill that has essentially banned all handguns and most semi auto center fire rifles.

We - hopefully we anyways - but a bunch of us Canadians through our gun rights groups mounted a letter writing, social media and public information campaign that might have made them blink - for now.

They want no firearms in the hands of any of us.

We'll see.

I'm cognizant that's not an answer, but that's where we're at as of today.

All the best regardless of the interesting times we find ourselves in.

You don't throw a beer in someone's face and walk away.

Morning to you, I hope that your section of Iowa is getting the winter you needed and you're well.

For sure we should all inform ourselves as to what's going on around us using the best sources possible, then make wise decisions and act accordingly.

If that's where you're at, then I can respect your decision.

Are you aware of Operation Yellow Ribbon by the way?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Yellow_Ribbon

If that is new to you, perhaps watch a couple short videos on how Gander, NFld housed thousands of people, mostly US folks and all bound for the US.

Once you're read up on that, investigate how the reports of 911 terrorists coming into the US were pure unmitigated BS strewn about by your legacy media.

When the US decided to head into Afghanistan after 911, we were asked to send combat troops and we did and they died along side and sometimes saving US combat personnel. There was a US Afghanistan vet who stated here on the 'Fire he and his group were alive because of the efforts of the Princess Patricia's group out of Edmonton.

After that - should you be so inclined - you might be interested to learn how the US trade policies under Obama affected US trade with the US's largest trading partner.

Again, I could type quite a bit, but far be it from me to attempt to change someone's mind who has already made it up, you know?

Best to you regardless of which side of the medicine line you choose to stay.

Yep and that is why he Won a Beaver Award.

Well, that explains that......., sort of. Actually not, but you be you. Full disclosure: My Canadian friends are some of my best. I'm sure they'll be crushed that you'll not be joining them this year.

Arrogant? Nonsense.

Fat? Yeah, for certain😜

Anything we can say about Canada , can be said for the USA. As for me, I thought Canada was great . We went there on our Honeymoon in 1987 to Sault Ste Marie , Canada , just above Michigan . It was such a nice town and even asked a waiter if a lot of Americans come here to live. She looked at me funny and said not at all. Fast forward to 2019 we went back. The place was not the same town. Gang signs, garbage and a much lower class of residence lived there on average. I can say that about so many small towns in America. They were nice though.. Kind of sad there is friction between the countries. I would go back,, but I could not for a few yrs. cause I am not vaccinated. USA still mandates the Vax. I got used to just going to Upper Michigan and happy to fish there. Still might go back to Canada though too. Our leadership is terrible on both sides of the border. I think we can all agree on that.

After 30+ years of working and traveling in virtually every populated province in Canada as well as most US states I have come to the conclusion that there is not a hell of a lot of difference between them. In general, I have found Canadians to be honest, generous and straightforward ... as are Americans. If anything, Canadians do seem to carry themselves with a bit more dignity than the average poster on the Campfire

There are exceptions but they are generally easily recognized and avoided. Most of us Americans have already developed and honed that skill locally.

I have noticed Canadians share with their southern neighbors a trait of reflecting back a pissy attitude when confronted with it. Treat people with dignity and you will receive the same. Is it possible the source of your problems with Canadians can be seen in a mirror?

Travelled in the states enough to know that there is not much of a difference between our culters, excluding Queerbec of course.

I have been eating KFC and watching NFL since I was 9 years old, as American and as Apple Pie as you can get lol

KB

I have hunted in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. All beautiful country. Plus, my wife and I went on a week-long fishing trip East of Vancouver for our honeymoon. I have found Western Canadians to be some of the nicest people I have ever met.
Plus, we seemed in agreement on everything. I had to smile when I saw Queerbec in Killer Bee's post. Yep, I heard that a few times up there. :-)

My wife and I have been watching the TV series "Heartland" lately. I knew after the first episode this had to be Alberta. Just a couple nights ago, I was explaining to her that Western Canadians are much like us and not fond of Queerbec. LOL

T.S.

outahere;
Good morning to you sir - well it's still morning here in south central BC - I hope all is well as can be with you, all things considered in our respective and collective sections of the world.

Thanks for the reply that you and the other folks have taken the time to add, I appreciate it.

To any of the US 'Fire folks reading who've not come up onto our side of the medicine line, way WAY back in the day we started a bit of an "information package" of sorts for visiting hunters but it's got information for any travelers truly.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...60/planning-a-hunt-in-canada#Post6042560

If any of you reading are heading into our part of the world that is up Highway 97 and you have specific questions about well whatever you think a local might be able to assist with, please feel free to PM me. I'll do my best to either answer or find somewhere an answer exists - if possible.

Some questions like - is "this" firearm now banned are tougher because of the situation we find ourselves in politically. We're working on it folks, honest we are, but it's sort of like asking what the gas and diesel fuel prices might be this summer - who know right?

That said, the gasbuddy.com website works for most places up here, unlike your cell phone which might not in the mountains!

Anyways, if I can help I will be glad to.

All the best to one and all on both sides of the medicine line.

Dwayne

North Montanans are good folks in my book. Their government is a bit kooky, mostly run by back east loons.

Kinda similar to ours.

Regarding KFC:
The very first time I ate Kentucky Fried Chicken was in Calgary, Alberta, in 1957. We were moving from Wyoming to northern B.C. at the time and there was a hotel restaurant which served KFC. It became SOP for us to stop on our way on each trip. I cannot remember when I first ate KFC south of the line. At this time, Calgary was pretty metropolitan in comparison to what we were used to (Worland, Wyoming and Moscow, Idaho). GD

Well, Canadian's vary alot from coast to coast( to coast).
Yeah, Ottawa ( like D.C.) doesn't represent Westerners well at all.
Central Canada more or less controls our Federal politics, their emphasis is on Southern Ontario and Quebec.
What exactly , is your statement about?
Would you like Trudeau to get along better with Biden?
Both are hit by the same hammer, their politics are nearly identical. Too bad for both of us.

All of Canada is devastated at this turn of events.

Good evening Dwayne,

I sure hope all is well on the West side of the Rockies. Spring is just around the corner, soon be time to get the fly-rod out! Headed to Calgary tomorrow to attend the CSAAA tradeshow but I'll be crossing the Bow River at some point to get there. Wonder if it is ice free yet????
Great reference to the "Planning a Hunt in Canada" thread. I wonder if we should maybe take a look at it for some updates as it has been there a while.
It sure is frustrating to be continuously wondering if we can still use our firearms day to day.
On top of the issues a ban of any type of hunting arms will make for us, the devastation to the tourism industry would also be immense! I have mentioned that issue in a number of letters and position papers I have written, the replies have consisted of crickets. The Liberals just don't seem to care about the outdoor life many of us live and in many ways, attempt to share with visitors to Canada.
Stay safe my friend,
Jeff

Jeff;
Good evening to you my cyber friend, thanks so much for the response and well wishes.

Please feel free to update that thread as you see fit and learn of anything visiting hunters might find useful. The same goes for anyone who can add helpful stuff for sure.

Regarding tourism, specifically outdoor tourism and hunting, the page I'm currently on Jeff is that the sooner it goes away and we're all stuck in our houses in big cities, the happier the folks who pull Socks' strings will be.

I know that sounds crazy on several levels, but the fiscal policies, the constant mistruths and out and out fabrications, the insane levels of spending without regard for where it might ever be funded has brought me to that conclusion.

While they might say they're okay with FN folks hunting, they don't say anywhere they have agreed they have to do it with firearms as far as I can read.

If alternate income streams were ever a consideration, we'd not own a pipeline that has pumped nothing for years or be fixated on an alternate energy program that isn't remotely achievable even if the entire population vanished tonight.

That all said, life is about change and ebbs and flows Jeff. If we can make enough like minded people wake up to see what's being done and what we can accomplish, then we'll see meaningful change.

We'll see.

I hope that with events like the tradeshow you're attending we'll gain more people to our side and as we've said before, we have to at least try right?

All the best.

Dwayne

The ignorant and dumb usually do not recognize that they are ignorant and dumb. The OP confirms it.

Have travelled quite a bit in Canada, been fishing the last 12 years(except covid shutdown). Just like US meet some very nice people and a few you don't need to see again. I have no problem spending some money north of the border.

Same.

As do the untold 1000s of CDNs that go south of the border for all manner of reasons.

BC is great, not as great as the people that live there though...
but I gotta say, the official face of the Canadian border authority is the sorriest, most arrogant, rude, wannabe badasses ever collected by one employer. Every kid in Canada that didn't have any friends in school or was picked on now has a badge working the POE's.
One good side to that however, it helps put Alaska Marine Highways in the black.

That's weird .... I live close to the border and cross over a lot.

Nothing serious, but I've had more hassles going into your country than coming back into mine.

Yeah, I have never crossed anywhere but BC, so my mouth got carried away, but from the treatment I received at Peace Arch stayed in my mind. Seemed like every trip to Alaska I was accused of smuggling, sowing seeds of anarchy, overthrow of the Canada govt, at the least. I do not look like a hippie, never arrested, no tats or earrings, I keep my mouth shut and just answer when questioned, but have been detained at length and searched every time. Tok and Sumas is scarcely better. I wonder now, if I am flagged some way in the US and the Canadians are tipped off, but there is always the possibility that I am just ugly.

My experience is the US is worse than Canada.

flintlocke;
Good morning to you sir, I hope your section of Jefferson State is getting enough snow or moisture this winter that it'll do some good and that you're well.

The chap I cowboyed for on weekends sometimes and was part of his branding crew for 27 odd years also worked for Canada Customs as it used to be known as until he retired from it after 30 plus years. On the branding crew was another fellow who worked 25 plus years for Canada Customs and until he passed we also had an RCMP Sargent who'd join in.

Sometimes the conversation was pretty instructive.

The short version of the guess I'm about to make regarding your experience would be as follows.

They - that is to say Canada Border Services Agency - are a pretty broad swath of humanity and as such have sterling examples of fine upstanding humans and then some malignant rectal orifices as well. If said MRO behaves well enough to pass probation and become a full fledged member of the CBSA they are then represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada Union - who will usually fight tooth and nail to keep all sorts of their members still gainfully employed.

Much to the chagrin of management sometimes as you can well imagine.

As well, sometimes one is just plain old unlucky and ends up behind either a Karen or some other wonderful representative of your country of origin and yes you and the next half a dozen people may pay for Karen's indiscretions. Sad that's the case but true.

It can also be that the CBSA agent you get has goofed up and let some try miscreant into the country recently - it got traced back to them - they received a well deserved mastication of the hindquarters sort of meeting and have taken it to heart. Again no fault of your own, you just drew the short straw.

Before 911 and when we lived a wee bit closer to the medicine line, we used to head down to Oroville for a tank of gas, jug of milk and a pound of cheese sort of run - and hey, it was something to do too in what was a pretty sleepy place back then.

There was one particular US Border Patrol agent everybody hoped not to get questioned by. I'm not sure where he'd come from, but he just couldn't wrap his head around driving a half hour to save $20 so he was sure we were up to something. By we I do mean the entire line of Canucks headed down into Ben Prince's parking lot too, because back then it was 8 out of 10 cars there had BC plates.

Anyways, on behalf of the segment of BC which appreciates the income stream supplied by tourists from all nations but especially our good neighbors to the south, I'll apologize for the bad behavior most certainly but at the same time assure you it's out of our control for the most part for reasons stated above.

If you ever wander up through the 97 drop me a PM and I'll do my best to get some coffee into you or if they're open some decent hard ice cream at the stand down on the highway.

Best to you.

Dwayne

Dwayne, thanks for the reply to my question about your gun rules. I hope the best for you and your fellow countrymen. We down here are in a perpetual fight for our rights too, and it isn't looking good with the present administration..

Sorry you feel that way. We'll survive without your few pennies.

Then get the F out.

Hello Troll

AH NO

We spend several months a year in the US, have had zero issues and the areas we frequent people are open, friendly and hospitable.

Canada has a group of children running our country and I have heard your governing teams described as morning cereal – a mixture of nuts, flakes and fruits. Same analogy could be applied to ours.

If your US experience is bad then it must be big cities like Chicago, Detroit, Miami or St Louis (all of which I have spent time in) and I can assure you we have similar problems in big cities like Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

Other than the military, the US can do resolve and your “for now” firearm freedoms we are more alike than we are different.

Have been to BC several times. Rifle competition, camping, fishing, just popping around enjoying the place.

In 2017 I decided to drive through BC & Yukon to Alaska, hunt there and drive back. Breathtaking scenery and all sorts of good people along the way!

A couple of grizzlies too.

I was pleased that it was so easy to get a permit to travel through Canada with my rifle. The only hassle I had with the rifle was coming back into the US, with an over-zealous USA border person. That was pretty easily dealt with, using a bit of humor and patience and being on good terms with her supervisor.

Canada eh? You bet we'll be back!

Regards, Guy

Lately, I've been using the cost of a Canada Moose hunt to justify why I just go back to Africa...

Thanks Canada!

The guiding and outfitting has really taken a direct hit because of the mandates. It had to do with transferring control of a resource, rather than health.

I've only had a car keyed once, and that was on a Christmastime trip to central Alberta to visit relatives. Can't remember if there was some sort of timber or oil trade issue afoot, but we were conspicuously the only yankees in that neck of the woods that time of year.

Dad got an "oh, sorry (pronounced "sorey")" from some douche-age (early 30s) private anglers at the dock on vancouver island when they dropped our salmon scale into the drink, that they asked to borrow. No offer to make right. Haven't seen similar behavior from guide outfits as they know their customer base and the origin of their fish!

Canadian border patrol will ignore your truck-and-trailer full of personal effects if transporting firearms. Go in, complete the paperwork, get back underway, and not a word about the rest. Sampling of two instances.

I don't put the average Canuck on any sort of behavioral pedestal. Like their counterparts south of the line, there are more good than bad.

luckily most canadians wont change their mind based on the op and will welcome any visiting coming from usa like the usa people are doing when we re there ...

I've crossed many times, I was married to a gal from Regina. I had way more bad experiences with US border people than with the Canadian ones. The US side were jerks.

You gotta do what you gotta pal.

With one notable exception, I have found our Canuck neighbors to be polite, friendly, and helpful.

Also, many dislike? their government lackeys as much as we dislike ours.

WTF?! I said I'm sorry!

kolofardos;



And... well....

You should be!

Likely.

Maybe.....




Thanks for the laugh sir.

I can understand the frustration and over the past several years it’s only gotten more frustrating but I’ve always liked and respected the “native” Canadian, not the newly minted just off the boat ones. The Canadian government is definitely a collection of screwball liberals but so is our government! Canada doesn’t beat the USA in stupid ideas and gross abuse of our rights, unfortunately both our countries are suffering from political ineptitude, corruption and “wokeness”.

My fondness for my northern neighbor has been built over a lifetime of visiting and interacting with Canadians. They’re always polite, helpful and fun to hang with so I won’t let these impotent and useless politicians of either country blur the lines between government and The People.

Without a doubt. I had one cock sucker Philippino US border guard give me attitude when I wanted to come back into the US. I asked him when he got off the boat and told him he needed to learn English better which he didn’t like and I didn’t GAF since he can’t prevent me, a US citizen, from lawfully entering my country. We had words and I told him what I thought of his affirmative action job and a short comment about how annoying it is having some little brown guy that can’t speak English try to Jack up a REAL citizen of this country. It ended with a fu.ck you and a middle finger after he determined that we were 100% in compliance and he was impotent to prevent us from coming home despite our not kissing his little brown ass. 😂 The 3 of us in the truck were returning from a week of fishing on V.I BC and that interaction with the US border douche was the first negative interaction we’d had all week and I made a point of letting him know that as well.

The Canadian border guards have always been nice people.

Good afternoon AcesNeights, I trust you are doing great!

That surprises me Philippino's are typically pretty nice at Tim Hortons when they serve me coffee lol.

KB

Lol. I’ve never had much luck with that group and I’ve come to the conclusion that by and large they comprise the worst of the Asian DNA and the worst of the Spanish/Portuguese DNA. I’ve been exposed to enough of them to be comfortable in my opinion. 😀

You have more trust and faith in them than I do my friend, my wife makes my coffee. 😀

I make my own as well every morning, cant imaging waking up without a coffee!

Honestly, Tim Hortons is over rated, I prefer McDonalds, way better and costs less.

The pure absurdity of banning the Weatherby Mark V bolt action rifles is comical if it didn't effect me. The logic make zero sense as with most things the liberal F's do.

Just this past November I hunted in Sask with my .300 Wby Mark V. It is my favorite rifle for things bigger than Whitetail Pronghorn. And my favorite plains game rifle in Africa. When I go back to Canada I will not be allowed to bring that rifle.

So now I have to use my Win Model 70 in 30-06 or buy another 300 Wby that is built on a Rem 700 or Win 70 action. It's just dumb

Isn't it weird how they still want to have a border on the north side of the country but pretend we don't have one on the south side???

It is incredible to me that the effort the puffed up little guys on our side of the northern border to pretend they’re doing something while the southern border is wide open. Then some brown clown wants to try to give me crap trying to come into my native country while he’s still taking ESL classes at night? Not gonna play…

To me the thing is, on either side, they have the authority, I have little.

Wabigoon, you are so correct, “they have authority, I have little” and soon to be less if we keep heading in our current direction. This is for both nations.

It is amazing what a little bit of authority does to certain individuals. I once worked in a national organization with training departments in every region. Most regions treated its new employees well during training but in one region the trainers were actual bullies. The course participants called the training boot camp. This isn’t all that long ago. This region had a drop out rate of 90%. It was ridiculous and all because the trainers were given a slight bit of authority over other employees.

Nick

Good morning Termin8r,

Agreed! I almost blew a casket when I heard Mark V's were on the list, after digging into it, I do not belive that the .300 was on the list, if memory serves it was the MARK V® SAFARI, but I could be wrong. Another moronic Liberal Government attempt in banning all rifles.

I have a .300 Weatherby Mark V, I customized mine and I bought it specifically for elk and for plains game if I ever make it to Africa.

You are the second person I have heard say it's your favorite Plains Game rifle. Which Mark V do you own? I own an Ultra Lightweight, that I modified. Great rifle now, shot like crap out of the box. I shoot Nosler Trophy Grade ABLRs in 190 gr.

KB

I know I'm lookin/ forward to getting back to Wabigoon.

We know that the OP doesn't mean all Canadians, just the ignorant America-phobic Liberals that dominate our media and pop culture, and unfortunately our federal government for the last few decades. You can spot these arseholes immediately - they'll always look down their noses and make some stupid comment how they think they're better, or that they're NOT American. They truly have an inferiority complex for some reason and always have to try to make themselves feel better by bashing Americans. They're childish and ignorant.

We know we're a great trading partnership. We know we have relatives on both sides of the border. We know we are about as similar as two countries' cultures could be. Look at our shared history and teamwork in so many areas.

I wish I could not send any money to Ottawa and not support these criminal parasites.

We spent a lot of time in our "youth" (a relative term) racing in Canada (Westwood, Calgary and even on Vancouver Island). We always enjoyed the Canadians and never had any issues crossing the border. The only time we had a problem was trying to come back into the US through Sandpoint, Idaho. We were delayed for hours since my formula car didn't have a title. I tried to explain that formula cars did not have titles as they were never on the street. The border guard was having none of it and kept patting his revolver as he walked around the car. We finally got a supervisor involved and got the issue resolved. As always we make a distinction between the people and the politicians.

If in drought, call ahead.

On the border crossings generally we have had good experiences going both ways.

One time going down for a hunt in the US I had preregistered my blackpowder firearm -- at the crossing the fellow in Montana asked why I did this when I did not have to. I said I that I knew that but I just wanted to avoid any possible complications. He said good move as Homeland Security has no clue on blackpowder vs centre fire. He then asked what I was hunting and when I said bison he brought out pictures of one he got, asked where I was going, gave suggestions -- just a great discussion. Now fast forward a week and I am coming back. Get to the Canadian side and all is good --- then the border guard says we have a note that you need to go back over to the US side. Go back over and it was the same US Customs agent wanting to see pictures and ask how the hunt went. Good experience at a very low traffic site.

In all the years I have driven across the borders I only had one issue , that was at the Cornwall Ontario crossing in 1970.
No biggy, they just went through the car checking for stuff, then we were on our way. Had several friends turned back for various old infrations when flying to Vegas , everything from DUI's to being fingerprinted but never charged after being involved in illegal activities .
Cat

😆😆

And when you do, you'll find out they don't know their own rules.

You are welcome!!

My experience is that the US border guards are worse than the canucks, and the Canadian DOT is worse than the US. And that is saying something.

I used to go up to Canada dozens of times a year for business and family reasons. The Pols killed that business with their Covidiocy, but it also clearly pointed out that I am a member of a small fringe minority with unacceptable views, and don’t feel welcome at all.

Interesting views. First, its the US Border Patrol-not "guards".

In 2017 my wife and I were at Glacier Park and we decided to try
Waterton-Prince of Wales hotel. We neglected to bring our
passports. But I did bring a Federal retired badge and ID-as an INS Agent along with an old RCMP
card from a friendly Mountie.
Mr. Blackthorn I think the Inspector's name was. He stated passport or not, he decided
who came into Canada - at the small crossing near Waterton. He then stated you folks come in and stay as long as
you want.
Don't forget it was the Princess Pats who lost their troops as well as ours in the outback Middle East.

At any rate-politicians are the problem across the board and border. I am still a combat VN veteran, retired LTC and
Federale. Thomas Paine and T. Jefferson along with Louis Riel valued their freedoms and watched their politicians...

Albert Johnson did shoot RCMP Constable Edgar Millen-near the Rat River in the 1930s ..but the Mounties did get him.

Thank you for your service 450Fuller,

That customs officer is correct, individual officers have the authority to make discretionary decisions.

I have only been stopped once from crossing the border at the airport customs when I worked for a corporation with its head office in Chicago. Told the agent I was going to a business meeting in Chicago, but he would not let me through and he said we don't like Canadians taking our jobs.

I never had a DUI or a criminal record, so there was absolutely no reason to stop me. Traveled for business many times after that but never said I was going on business ever again.

I find that border crossing agents at remote locations are very friendly, never had any issues with them.

KB

I've never been to Canada, but I'll keep sending money up there for stuff. My delete and tune kit came from Canada, as did my truck. I also had a muzzle brake for a 18.5" long H&R 10ga that was made in Canada.

Don't laugh ...... Maybe a moose hunt is cheaper in Africa.

Hi Verylargeboots, if I was American, I would buy everything I could in Canada. Buying Canadian is brilliant, especially the same products sold on each side of our borders because you save a lot of $$$.

If I were an American I would buy everything I could in Canada, and pocket the exchange rate.

"A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned"

KB

I thought the cost of living was a lot higher in Canada though. Is that due to taxes and not due to the cost of tangible goods?

Both and Everything!

Canadians get hammered by our Brain Dead government to pay for their "Socialist BS" Cost of living, taxes everything!

Let me give you a good example, a bottle of 1.75 liter Smirnoff Vodka where I live costs $64.00 CDN, the equivalent in the USA 60 oz. I believe the Last time I bought a bottle of the same in Key West I paid $28.00 USD.

I am thinking of placing an ad on this site to help our American friends save a lot of $$$.

KB

A Newfoundland moose hunt ? I thought they are pretty reasonable----plus you can drive there

the only problem i ever had was coming back thru on the American side and that was only once . i hit a deer once also on a fishig trip, and had to be towed in , a Canadian Monty was very hopeful that night which made me very grateful for his help on that trip and the Canadian Chevrolet dealer worked on our Blazer right away so we lost only a half day of muskie fishing . those Canadians i have delt with have always been super people to deal with. >> the only people i have ever had problems with are some liberal Americans that live in large cities they seem to feel entitled .

Just the Canadian government continues to hose their people. Have watched the leftists in power for fifty years screw the country. Now they have the the US defend their airspace

I'll have to start going to Canada to offset you

Yup .... BTDT. The ferry terminal going over is chock full of Americans during moose season.

Thank-you for saving us from the merchants of evil.

My wife wants to go to Lancaster County this summer so my offset will offset your offset.

SuperCub;
Good morning my old friend, I hope that you and your fine family are well.

Way back in the day my late parents did a bus tour across the country to the east coast in fall and the photos of your part of the world south through New York and Pennsylvania were stunning.

We just don't get those colors in fall.

It's on our bucket list to drive across the country and do that some year too, so we'll see.

All the best to you all.

Dwayne

I have found most Canadians to be good people! The government is a piece of crap. I'm a firm believer, we should have moved our border, to the north pole when we sent the British home! Plus moved the southern border to Panama, when Pershing was there. 😎

I live 10 minutes from Lancaster County.

I grew up in southern Ontario very close to a large Mennonite population around St Jacobs area. My father did business through the farm with them. I miss being there and around those farms.

He Dwayne .... I've been through Cape Breton and the New England States during the leafs. It's would be well worth the time to see. NH and Vermont are second to none.

Are you guys talking about Lancaster Ontario on the St. Lawrence River just west of the Quebec border?

Caught my biggest Pike there, great Pearch and Muskie fishing there as well.

KB

Lancaster County, PA.

LOL .... Isn't that the same type of colonialism that you tossed the British out for?

Typical American hogwash thinking everyone would be better off if they were all American. The British did the same thing.

I may not want to return to Canada either, but I don't know if I am even allowed to leave?
