We've only had about a week of winter here, where there was enough snow to get a bit of exercise and shovel it. Although the John Deere snowblower was set to go, it's not been started - yet. Spring raking of tree debris is already finished, Tundra Swans have been seen overhead and the sound of Robin's was heard on Thursday. It's not been cold enough to walk on water, let alone go ice fishing. Motorcycles have driven by every month this winter.
Yup same here, although they have been out fishing here :o! Helped buddy pull side by out of water last week :o! Lucky it was only 2’ deep and 10’ from shore :). There’s about 5” of ice most parts but very dangerous due to currents from runoff. Never seen ice so thin in February, typically have 2-3’ by now. Sold all my gear in fall, no desire to sit out there anymore lol.

It’s been amazingly snow free here and I love it! View attachment 53728368C yesterday -15C today :o!
We had another week or so of warm again that melted off all the snow then Friday I drove home from town in a white-out around 6pm but it only dropped a couple inches. Bit more snow and it's turned cold again forecast for a week or so. Barely a winter this year compared to just a few years ago.

Should be a another great forest fire season this year! :(

:peace:

Alberta intends to opt out of national pharmacare plan

Danielle Smith sure is special, it's becoming comical.
Not so funny when you're living here putting up with her BS. Offered the nurses union a 2% raise for two years then less for the next two when they want, and deserve, 25% for the first year and 10 the 2nd. Screwing with doctor's pay too all to tear shit down and bring in private medical. Many more outrageous acts of fuckery and we're stuck with this another 3 years at least.

I'll stop now before I say something actionable.

It is pretty scary, here outside of Detroit Michigan we have had about 2-4 weeks of actual snow on the ground so far the entire winter.

It's easy to forget the shit show happening in the North with the constant shock and awe with our neighbours to the South. It has been the perfect distraction for some real fuckery to happen up here that just slides under the radar:

According to insiders and a detailed post on Reddit, Shoppers has been charging the Ontario government upwards of $60–$75 for often unsolicited MedsCheck phone calls, often without clinical basis or need. The compensation figures sharply contrast to what family doctors typically receive for comprehensive, in-person physical exams: $38.


Shoppers Drug Mart, wholly owned subsidiary of Loblaws, so Galen Weston - the greediest prick in Canada. Why would Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, allow valuable health dollars to be taken via fraudulent activities? Wonder if it has anything to do with the Ford family business, Deco Labels, the preferred printer for Loblaws. Sounds crazy, until you hear the Premier is also moving some Service Ontario locations into Staples retail centres, also a major client for Deco Labels. I know it may sound like a silly conspiracy theory, but it's hard to forget his failed greenbelt development that he had to back track on:

Special project G*: Ontario government staff used code name for Greenbelt carveouts
Documents released through freedom of information shed more light on secrecy measures used as Doug Ford government planned to open protected land to development

And now the dumb fuck wants to bring politics into the judicial system, sounds like a certain blowhard in the other shit show, right?

“I am not going to appoint some NDP or some Liberal,” said Ford. “I have made it very clear where I stand with judges.”

Ford reiterated his view that he wanted “like-minded judges” in question period on Monday. On Tuesday, he said he was “tripling down” and got a standing ovation from Tory MPPs. “We're going to triple down on making sure communities are safe,” Ford said. “I'm sick and tired of judges letting these people out on bail. We're going to hire tough judges. That's what we're doing.”



Well I certainly hope he appoints tough judges that punish criminals that harm others for their own benefit - because that dumb fat fuck certainly deserves to spend time in prison, just like that other DFF in the South is going to.



That was cathartic, I feel better now.
