Lol. I didn’t even look. I just saw Swedes post asking for a photo to be posted and obliged accordingly.

That’s a little too far west.

I should have maybe given a better clue. Further north and much further west.

Currently watching a just released video from Kevin callan on a trip through north tea. He talks about the water flea and the park recommendation to clean your boat when travelling from the lakes the flea is found in, as well as cleaning your fishing gear to reduce the risk of tranferring the flea out of the infected lakes. I feel like this flea is going to be across the park pretty quickly.

So I guess it’s less a reservation fee, and more a booking fee. I remember a thread on here some time ago about this and there were a few people that had not been charged the fee on a walk up booking.

A great opportunity but likely a little overpriced. I would imagine new owners would lose the ability to run water taxis which would hurt the revenue a bit.

Interestingly the address they are setting up at is the location of algonquin bound. I guess they have come to some kind of merger agreement.

First they picked Opeongo away from Opeongo Outfitters, then they saved the Brent store, then got the LoTR Store, now the P-Store (I hope they keep the name).

Here's some Algonquin history for you. The P-store actually held the opeongo store concession before AO did; and while I can't confirm....I'm certain the Ope concession was awarded to AO in part to prevent the P-store from having a monopoly....and yet here we are.

The Ope store was managed by Erik Saltmanis on behalf of the Miglins and his nickname was salty which led to plenty of confusion when Swifty from AO took over.

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.
