largedaryl Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes, we are fortunate to have QC nearby, as mother nature is not being kind to Ontario and south. Then on the funding front, QC drop $3 million on the one single project, a new trail near Tremblant to connect two sections( that is now held up by politics ), meanwhile Ontario in Sept. 2019 offers $500K a year, in a on-going funding agreement to share across the whole freaking province. Ontario sledders are getting screwed IMO. The same press release stated sledding generates up to $3.3 Billion/year in ON. My math says the govie is giving back 1.5% .... what tax is %1.5? Sledders buy gas and booze... both taxed closer to what 20/30/40% and we get 1.5% back! I can't be happy with that deal. Just got in from cutting local trails... nothing open so I keep brushing trails to get outside... makes the evening pints taste better with football. Pics are of one of our local swamps west of Ottawa that I just spent some time in... now in prime shape as we have the cattails all dealt with to let the frost in .. trail "BEAST 206" - large PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffdweller Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Sorry, but that looks like .15% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largedaryl Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Might even been worse than 0.15% ( 0.015% ) ... I missed the "to the exponent of -4" at the right the calculator... but ya, it simply further solidifies my argument the the ON gov is giving next to nothing back to support sledding.. $500K is a joke compared to the $ spent/taxed in the industry. I believe $3.3B was on the high end of the est., but never the less the % is extremely small regardless. Again... thankful we have the quebec option PLAYHARD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry couldn’t resist!😁😁😁😁 Ontario The price of the Seasonal Trail Permit is $270.00 (+$7.50 processing fee), but if purchased on or before December 1st, pay only $220.00 (+$7.50 processing fee). Buy early on or before November 1st., and pay only $190.00(+$7.50 processing fee). Ontario annual snowmobile registration = $33 Quebec 330 $ for an annual trail permit purchased on or before December 9, 2019 410 $ for an annual trail permit purchased after December 9, 2019 640 $ for an annual trail permit sold on trail* 250 $ for an annual trail permit for antique snowmobiles (2000 and older) 220 $ for a 7-day trail permit 135 $ for a 3-day trail permit 65 $ for a 1-day trail permit 580 $ for an annual trail permit for a rental snowmobile Quebec annual snowmobile registration = $94.60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowmaster you can exclude this Canadian from the “you guys” that re-elected Justin. We are all fortunate the great trails are in Quebec. I’m surprised Justin and his merry crew haven’t suggested sledding is to be banded in the near future due to the evil fossil fuel burning sport it is.

The real problem with the recent election was there was no “none of the above box “ stuck between a rock and a hard place.😁 Fuse6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
