In any case, why is it OK for people from all over to come to Bronte ... but it's not okay in Port Hope. I specifically asked a cop sitting in a cruiser across the street from Bronte, during last year's stay at home order, whether it is okay to fish the river. They contacted the marine unit, and they stated they are not going to be stopping people from fishing, the river is open.
So, basically ... I'll tell you what this is ... it is some person's (cops) interpretation of what is essential and not essential ... and if you've never fished in your life, guess what, you don't have a care for it, so it is non-essential. Plus, let's admit it ... Port Hope hates fishermen from outside of Port Hope ...
If you're going to read any of this, read this ... WHY IS IT OK FOR A PERSON IN PORT HOPE TO FISH GANNY THEN??? Either all fishing is essential or non-essential .... you cannot discriminate.
