That’s great. Wild rock is excellent and clearly MSR stands behind their products. Since I have the same stove, nice to know.

I would guess they’ll set it at the first or second Saturday in may and call it a compromise.

The other side to this would be Saturday evening “ride programs” trying to catch drunk drivers. The Supreme Court found that ride programs were a violation of the charter but “a justifiable infringement” on the grounds that stopping drinking and driving is a reasonable position for society.

And I’m in no way suggesting anyone here should refuse to show their stove if there is a fire ban or refuse to open their cooler if a warden or co asks to verify your things but consenting to a search or complying with a request to see what’s in your cooler is a long way off from demanding a search of your car or even tent/trailer.
Consent to search is always sought because demanding a search can lead to bad case law.
An example of this came by way of customs inspectors who for many many years used their powers of search upon entry to Canada to open people’s laptops and smartphones even demanding passwords for locked devices. It became part of a routine customs inspection. This was, on its face, legal by the written law. But eventually it ended up in court and a judge decided this went beyond a routine inspection and laid out some rules for when electronic devices could be searched. I don’t recall the exact circumstances of the case but a “routine” search was no longer “routine”
In a trial the judge would ask if the routine searching of a cooler, tent, RV, boat etc…is reasonable given the total lack of grounds to conduct the search.
Provinces can write whatever law they want giving authorities to wardens, CO’s, police etc…but ultimately if these laws are challenged it would come down to the reasonableness of the demand made by law enforcement. And, in my opinion, it’s completely unreasonable but generally it’s just easier to comply than to be arrested, go to court etc. you have to decide for yourself where the line is between convenience and privacy.

Absolutely not. Section 8 of the charter protects us against unlawful search and seizure. The powers of search and seizure granted by section 487 of the criminal code are subject to reasonable grounds to believe and unless the warden had found an egregious offender worthy of search they would be wise to never force the issue as they would almost certainly lose a court case where evidence was gathered as a result of any search and then lose the authority all together.
This is a high standard. Akin to catching the person in the act. Arriving to check in for a permit at Algonquin provides 0 grounds to even suspect a person of wrongdoing let along a belief they will commit wrong doing.You couldn't be more wrong about the search and seize powers of a Wildlife Officer. By now you've likely searched this and discovered the complete opposite is true. But in case you haven't, know that these LEO's do not require any "probable cause" to search any vehicle, container, pack, cooler, receptacle..ect to determine a contravention of any wildlife ACT or CC violation that they have been charged to enforce, uphold, and protect. Zero probable cause required.
An example of this is; have you ever been stopped in your vehicle by a CO during the fall hunting season? Do you think you can simply tell them to rub salt and be on your way? Of course not. They can stop you, search your vehicle (and demand documentation if you're carrying a 4 wheeler,side by side, including trailer..ect) for no reason whatsoever than to simply "check" you. And get his, while your head may still be spinning from all this, know that all MTO Enforcement Officers have the same search and seizure authority. MTO can pull you over ANYWHERE on any road in Ontario to simply check your vehicle. The only "Section 8" that will protect you here is if you're in the army, ask Corporal Klinger
Can you provide Case law to back this up?
There is none. War
| Equipment » New canoes…. » 7/07/2024 5:25 pm |
So, I’m wading into the market for a new canoe. This will
Be my fifth canoe, but my first new one in over a decade. Prices have gone up pretty substantially since my last purchase.
I’m looking at a carbon boat, light as possible in the 16-17 foot range. Likely a swift keewaydin or something along those lines.
So, my question is for anyone that has bought one recently do you have advice on finding/negotiating the best price. I know the wholesale cost on canoes is dramatically lower than retail price but I have no idea how much swift/nova/souris etc are willing to negotiate.
Any thoughts appreciated.

CN did offer to give it to the park right after the rails were pulled. Park did not want to be responsible for any cleanup so they declined. It is possible to go from kiosk to Achray by bike but this would be a violation of the park rules (and trespassing on CN property) so definitely don’t try it.
suluk46 is definitely against it.
