    The USA depends a lot on power from Canadian Hydro plants. If we lose that source what would it take to restart our closed power plants?

    We sell a lot of our power from our nuke plants to the US and they are not going down.  We manufacture the fuel for them and we are deemed an essential service, however there are many months of inventory for them for situations such as this.  No need to worry about loss of electricity anywhere.

  2. 1/2" marine flooring as noted above (and above).  I've replaced an entire floor section on a previous boat I purchased.  Was able to install new rivets which had some leakers and also apply Gluvit on all of the others.

    Except for that poor young couple traveling cross country a few months back that were murdered, the killers eventually committed suicide?
    Crime happens everywhere.
    As far as national security goes, an occasional “thank you America” would be nice.

    Yes crime happens everywhere.  Using an example where 3 people were killed by two dumb youths in Canada doesn't really substantiate to anything.  This debate is stupid and way off topic, but I enjoy facts so here are some for all of us:

     

    2018 Murders Canada - 651 per 37.06m people or 1.76 murders/100000 people

    2018 Murders USA - 16214 per 327.2m people or 4.96 murders/100000 people

     

    My rebuttal post stated it doesn't happen as often in Canada as in the US and the facts above agree with what I stated.  Maybe that was the point that the guy with his very first post ever on LOU wanted to make (or maybe he was a dick).

     

    But hey, we are the ugly stepchild to the US with a pansy for a leader.  But I won't slander the US because I have numerous US friends and have met a ton of great people that are willing to go the extra mile if needed (plus that is where some of my fishing stuff comes from).

  4. Maybe they are just proud to be Canadian where stuff like that doesn't happen that often.  It always isn't about politics.  

     

    Getting back to the original poster, I couldn't imagine how I'd handle that as I too live in the country.  With younger children in our house, I'd be grabbing for the nearest golf club as I'm not a hunter.  Glad you were cool under the pressure of what could have been.

    I've never seen a 49" Salmon from Lake Ontario. They typically top out at 40-42". Still a nice fish bud.

     

    I have once back in the early 1980's in the Credit River.  It was a spawned out hen and I couldn't believe the length of it until we measured it.  Exactly 49" in length.  That was easily a 40+lb hen prior to spawning.
