Quinte Fishing

Hello Dan
It is indeed a potential item with some scarey possibilities. I remain puzzled as to why information has not been forthcoming by MNR on the Canadian side.

As much as most fear initially is oriented to and about the Great Lakes, it could equally be placed as a possible question towards inland waterways and questioning how this could be transferred. I understand that staff at MNR might feel downtrodden and have less than ideal morale, but I would suggest that perhaps there is a need to focus on the here and now and how to make the best of the resources at their disposal. Publically accessible information, offered in a forthright manner can be a real hit amongst tax payers, and a tool when dealing with a budget cutting politician that may or may not be there in a couple of years.

If it can be transferred via ballasts, etc....... this is a substantially larger problem. As to other questions, hopefully a few samples are being looked into on a number of fronts, including U of G on the Ontario front.

If this has been brought here by an uninvited guests, I would suggest that the outdoor communitys in both the US and Canada.....should insist on somehow getting shipping, etc. to comply. The potential cost to us all has not been quantified at the present time, but will be quite visible on a number of fronts....if this continues. My first information about this came first from a few associates and then publically from US media sources.

I remain puzzled with any organization that more often than not has a "cannot do" attitude as opposed to our southern neighbours...."can do". There are many ways to get any job done.

Just a few notes while working on V Island.
