That would be moi. And yes, SDA is a great site. I recommend everyone check it out often. It's part of my daily rotation.

Post by: robins111 on April 04, 2012, 08:59:40 PM: I have just retired after 32 years in the fire service. I was career Fire Chief in Northern Ontario, (north of lake superior) in a town called Marathon... 40 below in January. Then moved to the Niagara Region of Ontario in 1999,and was a Fire Chief there for 12 years. I'm originally from central north Ontario.

I've lived in Alberta and Quebec during my time in the military, (infantryman)

That's about it.

Post by: robins111 on April 04, 2012, 09:31:59 PM: John Florida, it just went up today to $1.34 a liter. Which is roughly a quart. Our dollars are at about par.. this price is Niagara region, my youngest daughter lives in Marathon in northern Ontario, add 10 to 15 cents a liter to the price. The problem is, 85% of the price is taxes., and the Ontario Premiere is an effing greenie, and wants to turn Ontario into a colder version of California.

Post by: robins111 on April 04, 2012, 10:07:56 PM: Trapeze, check out the Wildrose party during the upcoming election, they're pretty libertarian, plus that, Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan party has the lefties in a dither in eastern Canada. We have high hopes for them both. Its great country out west, I'd move but my wife won't.
