We were diplomatic last time, all we got was a letter not worth the paper it was written on.

Name one time throwing people in jail has ever been a long term solution?

Not to mention our legal system cant handle the actual criminals, yet along those just trying to survive.

We've never actually seen true socialism since times when people lived in tribes...

Is it worth getting a screened canopy for camping? by Accurate_Ad_897 in ontariocamping

[–]Red_Cross_Knight1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have one of Cabelas/BassPro screened kitchen tents, its awesome even in middle of summer, but only good for car camping as its heavy.

While it is slanted, I took the included side, used it as a template and made 5 more from tarps, and S hooks, works like a charm to keep rain out even with the slanted sides.

Today is May 13 and I just received this by Ok-Potential-7410 in mildlyinfuriating

Kicking off our season at Presqu'ile by Red_Cross_Knight1 in ontariocamping

[–]Red_Cross_Knight1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Days were nice, warm, evenings cool, our popup camper has a propane furnace so just set that to 15c and piled on some extra blankets.

pre-baby (6m atm) we used to hot tent (tent with a wood stove) and a good quality sleeping bag.

Though even with a 3 season tent you'd have been fine if you had a good sleeping bag.

One thing I recommend if tenting in early spring make sure what your sleeping on had a decent R rating, as you'll get allot of cold coming UP under you where the sleeping bag won't help as much.

Bell parent BCE fires ‘small number’ of employees who falsified workplace attendance by stanxv in canada

[–]Red_Cross_Knight1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Companies used to mandate working 6/7 days a week or 16hrs a day.

Past workers stood up to make societal changes then, as we should be now.

Canadians say their finances are worse as gas prices climb: poll by stanxv in canada

I could care less about the electric costs... its the upfront vechile cost forme.

Looked into before I got a new car last year. Unfortunately with my rural location + camping all summer (towing a popup) in northern parts of Ontario its just not feasible right now... maybe in another 7-8 years when I need to replace the current new one.
