are we welcome ?

Your almost ordered bumper stickers...they are bi-lingual...right?

"Ne me blâmez pas - Je n'aime pas le tarif"

So what you are saying is that when we go to Vancouver Island this September (sporting California plates on the truck and the trailer), I really don't need bumper stickers that say "Don't Blame Me -- I Don't Like The Tariffs?"

I will cancel the order for the custom bumper stickers!!

With Canada we would use the WKRP Les Nessman approached, thousands of rolls of masking tape.

Masking tape???

Duct tape or nothing

As an instructor told us during a survival course for downed pilots, “if a bear gets close enough that you could use bear spray, you may as well just tell him he has bad breath, it’s about as likely to discourage him.”.

And yet all the studies done say that spray is very effective. More than firearms because it doesn't need to be as accurate to be effective.

Having used bear spray 2 years ago to stop what the Conservation Officer that I reported it to said was definitely "a predatory attack" by a black bear, I can assure you that it does work.

Why? There's no problem. Gas/Diesel prices are the same as a month ago, when I was going up to FAI

We have some pretty awesome and friendly border agents till you try to put one over on them and the dogs are also good at their job and they do bite. See you on the trail

Is bear spray legal to carry around?
I know someone who got attacked by a bear in North Vancouver of all places,there are woods all around and bears come scrounging for food right into peoples houses..
also when I was in Calgary one summer a cougar came into somebodys back yard,not sure if police shot it or what happened,,
So always expect the unexpected

The other issue is crossing the border with it. While it’s legal (provided it clearly labelled as “bear spray” not self+defence) if declared or found, border agents may, based on your destination, say it’s not needed and refuse it.

"Open carry" is not going to go over well.

Oh wait. One more complaint. They turned the heat up to make it less appealing to the Yanks. Since when does Canada have the exact same temperature, humidity and precipitation as Florida in the summer?? ha ha ha.

Well in BC where I live, which is three hours north of Spokane Washington, we are regularly one of the Hot Spot in Canada, we have very little humidity and during July and August we usually run the AC instead of the wood stove... the AC is to help the ice box keep the beer cold...

That's actually a dream destination of mine. Would love to tour up through that area one of these summers.

Well if you ever decide to head to the Kootenays of B.C., drop me a line...
