Love it and couldn't agree more! But there is no family here for them to entertain... so who are they trying to impress? Who are they who attack those of us that require accomodations and mock Barry's PCI initiative? Simply put?  Each other of course..the good 'ole boys here who think they own the park..we all know who these angry old dinosaurs are...s%e&e, u€€a, and others...and they love playing to one another and ganging up on any opinions that threaten them, their sense of entitlement and the status quo...we've all seen them shout down others with whom they disagree - those that advocate for growth and progress and inclusion....think they're outdated views re access will withstand this court challenge? Lmao, ok

 
Nailed it.

Thank you my friend...I've never met Barry but  but my sense he is a good and pragmatic man who truly cares about the park and issues like fair and reasonable access...he has also no doubt had lots of interactions with Uppa and swedish pimple...i highly doubt he's unaware that many of us know what hotheads they are and how they love to bully us and shout diwn we newer members who don't support their views...they run roughshod over the chats here...not sure why they feel so angry and threatened tbh

Presumably never seen that meme then.

Lol

I’m merely pointing out that having to book, for example, site #3 on a lake versus showing up and choosing from the available sites won’t change my route in any way. The “freedom” to choose my site on arrival doesn’t resonate with me. As long as reservations are required and I have to stay at a specific lake, I may as well know which site I’m staying on. I know the last time I was in quetico(a fair number of years ago) you could just tell them how many nights you were in the park and go wherever you wanted in that time. Not sure if that’s still the case up there but I’m sure it still is in wabakimi. Or crown land for that matter. As much as I love Algonquin, I understand that just isn’t possible as there would be toilet paper and garbage everywhere.

a handful of times per year they give 15% off to members. I would say I get about 2-4 invitations a year to write a review for a $10 credit and the membership goes on sale a few times per year. Its my go to place for online shopping now.

It’ll become a cost analysis to see if the longer drive warrants the avoidance of an increased cost at a closer location. For most I think the cost is a smaller part of the puzzle than the time. A weekend getaway to Quetico or wabikimi just isn’t in the cards.

If I’m not mistaken you can be issued a summons to show up to court. Would only be for a serious offence or for repeat offenders. Fine may end up being the same but could cost you time off work to attend court as well as the drive from wherever you live to the court which could be north bay or Ottawa depending where you get caught.

Always remember job #1 for every politician. Re-election.

That’s good news. Glad they didn’t change it but I’m certain they will eventually.

Agreed. Go in on the Friday and you’re usually ok. By the time you’re leaving Monday you’re usually digging the bug spray out.
