Fishing License for Senior Canadian Citizen

If I’m reading the regs correctly I no longer need to purchase a Ontario fishing licence or outdoors card, I only need government issued ID. I live in BC so I’m a Canadian resident and 66. Am I correct as I am planning to go to brothers cottage again this summer and my outdoors card has expired

What I really get a big kick out of is when I say something that's not PC and 10 years ago would have got me castigated and fired,now,garners an "old guy,isn't he cute". The mileage I can get out of that...........

I take my old lady shopping and when we get to the cashier she points at me and say's SENIOR DISCOUNT after getting identified as such she then demands the cash from me and proceeds to pay. Is this not senior abuse? LOL

Obviously, she just uses you? The next step is she commits you to a home, sells your camp property and house then runs off with no forwarding address!

You better not think that as I will be knocking on your door claiming refugee status.

Old is a state of mind.

I wish. There is a reason folks retire around 65. Getting old is just fine IF you are healthy. Lucky if one is healthy after 65 +- . Be thankful.

It's how it should be. We've paid our taxes for years. Enjoy!

Based on how much taxes we paid-all other licenses should be free as well.

I got stopped by two rangers a few years back. Had my sister with me. We are both retired. They drive a pretty fancy boat ( mine is faster ). First words out of their mouths was a request to see the fishing license. I refused, then laughed out loud and stated that I didn't need one anymore. Of course they didn't believe me. I look a lot younger than I am and my hair is still red. After proving it with my driver's license, we had a few chats while they requested to see all the safety stuff. Of course I had it all and yes, we were wearing PDF's. Hydrostatic ones. Nice couple of guys.
