I always thought you more mature than that comment...that's something I would expect more from your Swan River counterpart.

I don't think you are a bad guy, I don't know you. You're probably a very nice person, maybe just a little misinformed that the old days of drinking and riding are not "cool" anymore. And yes I would rather meet you on the trail because if we get into an accident, a little booze in your system is going to help my lawsuit against you a lot.
Now back to your local Mountie issues. I again assume you can provide proof of the person who got ticketed for stopping only two seconds instead of three at a stop sign? If it actually happened that way I would hope they fought it.
Perhaps the officers who are "not community oriented" just don't socialize with you and your friends and have their own group to hang out with. But if this is a problem, I would imagine you have spoken with the local detachment, the town and RM and your MLA and MP to have these officers removed from your community and they can bring in some more to your liking.... you know the ones that look the other way when they see you.
I find it very sad that by you having a beer while sledding is doing all you can to ensure safe sledding for everyone else on the trails. I'm not sure if you are trying to justify drinking and driving by saying you are on a board for the growth of your community. That doesn't give you a free pass to bend the rules. I suppose the next person killed by an impaired driver will be the police fault too because they didn't do enough/they did too much/they weren't involved in the community/they didn't read the persons mind and stop them from driving......or some other thing to blame them for.
The police can stop me everyday for all I care, even for nothing at all because I follow the rules as best I can. If I have a ticket coming, then I do. If I get one for something I don't feel I deserve then I'll dispute it in court.
Anyway..... please provide some proof of all the examples you gave. I will gladly research them and verify them for the rest of the good folks on here.

holy drama queen

Finally some police presence on the trails. I do most of my snowmobiling on the west side of the forestry on the Pasquia trails. During the last few years, i have really noticed the amount of recklass or stupid actions increasing. I am not being stereotypical here, but most were from the city or down south. The main actions were dangerous driving. Numerous times, i have encountered riders not respecting the speed limit, trail conditions, or two way trails. Its dangerous to be out on the trails especially when these people have had some alcohol. The presence of the RCMP make riders more aware of their surroundings and actions.

For example:

Last year, i was having a weiner roast at one of the warm up shacks. I heard a snowmobile in the distant and could tell they were riding as fast as possible. Coming around the corner and mashing the throttle. Turns out it is a 800 xp with a can and the guy from Stoon. 5 minutes later, his two friends who were driving responsibly arrived. The leader was the only one who knew the trails, and the friends didn't. The leader then leaves doing a massive wheelie.

He was a prick and nothing more.

maybe we should all ride 550fanners.....must have been a real loud can to be able to hear them coming with you being in the warm up shack with a fire going and I suspect the door being closed....

I call BS....

Well, time to report back.
After a weekend of riding, we didn't get stopped on sleds at all.
We did see the police once, as they were parked outside the Cove one night. As we usually do, we had a safe ride home, so no worries there.


I did some confirmation and opinion grabbing from my brother (who is still lives in the Porcupine area).
The parade story is true. The lawn mower story is true. He couldn't confirm the rest though.
But here is the kicker... it's one cop causing all of the problems... and apparently he's being dealt with in the coming months.
With that said, it seems most people in town don't seem to have a problem with the rest of the RCMP staff.

It was too warm to be inside the shelter. So we were outside. With a valley running beside the shelter and the trail following the valley, you can hear pretty good.

wow this was a waste of time to read. Beers all around!
