5 bucks a month, to hunt and fish sounds like a deal to me.
[COLOR=#333333]The Outdoors Card was never free. Always had a fee to it. The cost for an Outdoors Card and 2017 fishing/hunting licenses are the same price as they were in 2015.
Outdoors Card $9.68 (for 3 years)
1 Year Small Game $25.15
3 Year Small Game $75.46
1 Sport Fishing License $29.46
3 Sport Fishing License $88.38
Prices for 2017 are the same prices as they were in 2015.
3 Year Small Game
The fees are flat across the board.Quote:

If the funds are handled properly.
Like some guys have asked, "What are they doing with our money?"
Collecting more for the administration?
Gee....that sure helps the environment.
Lots of ways to look/spin it..... because for just a few dollars a day, you get 24/7 police/fire/cleared roads, libraries and public parks to name a few (property taxes) that sounds like a good deal too but it all adds up.Quote:

Lots of cheaper ways to get into the city. Lots of cheaper ways to get meat. I know that compared to other countries Ontario is less expensive and less of a regulation nightmare. In Scotland you a need different permit for each river and a different stamp for each type of fish. One river could be a hundred yards from another river but the permits are not transferable and you also a different one for salt or fresh water! 16 cents a day to hunt and fish in Ontario.
How do we compare tax wise.
It's all just a money grab.
They get paid less, and things cost more. A Bus driver in Scotland gets about 8 pound an hour, a pint of lager in a pub cost 4 pound, the same as a big mac.
The problem really isn't the amount being paid, its what is done with the money (how it's managed is the problem) once they get it. Only if the government manages my money like it was coming out of their own pockets would I stop complaining.
Agreed , but I recognize a deal when I see one.
How about that $2 service fee + hst on every purchased item? I don't recognize that as a deal :(Quote:
