antifa and undocumented shopping, that stuff is OK?? Ever notice no republicans went out to loot and riot after the election, imagine if Trump one, they would have burned down half the country!!
Well you do have a bunch of unmasked camo body armour automatic weapons toting comic opera like South American tinpot dictator body guards standing around...
John McCain must be smiling now. Why can't the Republicans find someone of integrity to lead them instead of second hand Trumps? Mitt Romney has some character...

Yellen is more intelligent than ANYONE who worked for (kissed the ass) of Trump. Anyway, I find it ironic that folks who enjoy a snowmobile trail system, the very existence of which resulted from so called "socialist" principles - volunteering for the good of others, transfer payments from richer provinces to Quebec, federal and provincial government grants and support - should find such fault with the system that created it. Not to mention our "socialist" health care system - the like of which is sometimes visited by those out of country who, injured, receive care equal to that of local residents without having to worry about what hospital they "subscribe" to.
This is a snowmobiling forum isn't it? Ah well.....

Are there any ground floor rooms available at this motel yet? Stayed there in August two years ago and there were none - had to pack my stuff up a flight of stairs to second story despite asking for ground floor due to mobility issues at the time. I was told there were no ground floor rooms - not sure if there were not any, or not any available at the time. You seem to know a lot about this place?

You should see porcupines and their love of road salt....friend of mine with a Chevy Fierro brought the car up to the camp during the winter...every single cooling and heater hose got chewed right off by porcupines...and those cars had a history of over heating to start with😏. Porcupines also love a bit of plywood for dessert as well.
Thanks for the article!

Only discouraging part is no loops, but the linear route out and back still looks fun.
Keep an eye patch on one eye the whole trip. 😉 Thanks for raising the info.

I did not cross over there last year, but had the opportunity to observe ice conditions on several occasions through the season. Very sketchy on a fast moving river. Please get timely local knowledge. One alternative if necessary, hire a flat bed tow truck to take you & machines across the bridge from Ontario, Quebec trails intersect that road very closely once you are over.

Dominion voting systems was formed by three Venezuelans close to Chavez in Canada to thwart and fix elections in Latin America.
Six battleground states hired Dominion.
The lobbyist for Dominion was the former chief of staff of the Obama/Biden Administration and there are very solid line connections to George Soros.
Criminal indictments must be forthcoming.
Dominion is also the name of a grocery store chain in Canada - mainly Newfoundland now. There MUST be a tie in somewhere! It was three wise men who visited Jesus's birth in Jerusalem - MUST be a tie in to the three Venezuelans. My great aunt dated a guy named Chavez. Or maybe it is these guys....."Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego--who pay no attention to you, O king. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up" ... there is six six six...six battle ground states, but times two...do the math.
Statistics indicate that those proponents of conspiracy theories are also anti vaxxers....win win.
Meantime, waiting so see what kind of self-defense Giulianni is going with having been accused of sexual impropriety with a woman in scenes from the latest Borat movie. Really sad, as previously I had such a high regard for the man and the way he handled 9-11 in New York. The U.S.A. has done some great things and been a great country - hopefully things get better after January 20. Trails should be open by then as well.

As mentioned above, the document clears up what the FCMQ wishes to change while the debate around Bill 71 continues. There are email addresses to which to respond to state your support of their initiatives in this regard. It is interesting reading for all those who snowmobile in Quebec. I am also particularly impressed with the comprehensive response to my email which suggests that the FCMQ is a great supporter of its clientele.

I know one guy in Ohio going to head out west to Yellowstone. Places out that way. There must be some decent sledding in Minnesota, Wisconson, or other states just south of the Canadian border? A bit of a drive from the east, but extra vacation and planning might provide "different" destinations. If you have no other choice...

I RECEIVED A VERY COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE TO A QUERY ADDRESSED TO THE FCMQ. YOU CAN SEE IT BELOW IN A WORD DOCUMENT
This post is probably unnecessary as most people I have talked to have had no problems with the trail police and the fixture of a registration plate on the tunnel (or lack of it) but there seems to be some stirring of the pot regards the passing of Quebec Bill 71 and its possible implications. Here is the legislation as of May 2020. If you feel it is necessary print it off and carry it with you.
So, if your particular government allows Quebec registered sleds to operate in your region, county, province, country etc. with the legislated placement in Quebec, you are allowed vice versa when visiting.

There was a time in Ontario when the remote club in Dubreuilville was in danger of loosing club status as they would not get 50 permits purchased through their club. A number of us who didn't ride there bought there and they got their 50. (permit money is now distributed differently)
This came to mind with the pandemic this year, so I emailed the FCMQ to see if any remote clubs were, as we say "sucking the hind tit". They recommended a certain club on the north shore. I ride all over the place with no particular club preference, so when I bought my trail pass, I put their number down on the form. I will be getting another pass before December 1st, so will be engaging with the same strategy.
Might be something to consider if you are purchasing a couple of passes and traditionally buy from some of the more popular clubs in Launardierre, Chaudierre Apallache, etc. where populations are larger and many people purchase through those clubs.
BTW - permit purchase was very smooth this year and insurance rebate arrived promptly as well.
I'm looking at this as an incentive to visit a region of Quebec that I may not have previously considered...quite a long trip from where I am, but have always wanted to see that bridge!
After all, it is the trails and the clubs that build them that lead to the businesses.
In some ways there may be a silver lining to the border closing...our American friends will re-discover snowmobiling choices in their own country ....we have already seen good information shared about Maine and other areas. Myself, I am on a email feed for Pittsburg Ridge Runners in New Hampshire, and totally impressed with the community effort behind sledding there, would like to get there sometime as well as other areas if and when there is snow.

America's Mayor / Trump lawyer mistakenly books a press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping, thinking he has got the Four Seasons Hotel, next to an adult sex shop and across the street from a funeral home.
According to news reports, the sex shop has seen 7,000 customers visit over the past few days, but expect that this will soon pass. A registered child molester is seen standing behind Giuliani waiting to speak.
America's new hero is the landscaping company employee who calmly booked the parking lot for Giuliani's staff as if this normally took place on their premises.
You can't make up this stuff. Well, there will be those who will say it's fake news....

Thanks to Operation Warp Speed there is hope for a vaccine. Undeniable. Just as undeniable as widespread voter fraud. DC is THE circus. The circus may never leave. Certainly not any time soon if Creepy Sleepy Big Guy and the demented diabolical democrats are finally able to complete their coup of lies against the man the American public elected to try to clean it up. By the way Big Guy says masks are better and Cuomo doesn't want Trump's vaccine efforts. Just keep sending the sick to nursing homes and let Fauci and family watch the Super Bowl without their masks.
In case you are not aware, the Pfizer company denies ANY tie in with Operation Warp Speed or accepting any federal money. The outgoing Vice President attempted to claim it was due to Trump's efforts which was very swiftly rebutted by Pfizer. I not sure about the rest of your rant although I have extended you the courtesy of reading it a few times just to see if I could make sense of it.

Went to the rally in my home town of Montoursville Pennsylvania yesterday and as always it was as much fun as a rock concert, just like the last time I went. The man has an incredible knack for making a crowd Enthusiastic!
Ironic that you would be posting this here, as this type of super spreader behaviour is what is going to continue to keep the Canadian / U.S. border and Quebec sledding closed to our American friends.

Given the response from the sledcore mulisha crowd demanding their rights blah blah blah last spring when Mr. Nicholson posted some crucial warnings about covid19, the same yahoos will probably ignore this message or his challenge. Past history regards his missives to riders to stop trespassing, stop using aftermarket exhausts. etc. being an indicator.

While not in Quebec, enough of the riders here tend to include New Brunswick as part of their travels. Became acquainted with this new facility in Edmundston. ...something for your forward possible planning. On trail and many features for sledders:

This looks interesting. Is the road groomed all winter? Or just for this event?
According to what I read, the highway is closed in the winter and the grooming takes place just for the event. Conditions change every year and I was looking for this one youtube video that shows a particularly tricky part with very steep embankments to the road onto which some sleds slide down quite a ways. I didn't find that particular one, but here is a URL to several others:

While I was wary of Trump after having read "his" book "Art of the Deal" back in the '80s I respected the courage of Americans to experiment with electing a business person, instead of a politician to office....certainly Clinton did not deserve the walk to the presidency that most folks anticipated. But Trump's obvious character flaws have led to a failure of this experiment and I hope the U.S. can move on to something better. It might take some time I guess.
