I've made several trips to the lower Fraser area this summer and fall and have had nothing but great times. On one trip I came back to the launch from an overnight on the river to find that in my haste to get fishing, I had left the rear window on the car open. The kids DVD player was still on the seat. I was probably just lucky that time. On second thought maybe I would have been luckier to have that POS Exploder stolen and collect the insurance oh well. The vast majority of Canadians I have talked to are very friendly. It has come up in conversation that some of the things they aren't happy with are the tariff on lumber, ban on beef imports and the proposed Sumas power plant. These problems are government policy that should be worked out between our so called elected officials. I don't know if these things have a lot to do with theft and vandalism at fishing areas. I think it's more like it is in the US,most of the time it's someone out for the perceived easy buck and the fact that they will probably get away with it. I've always maintained that there are the same number of a-holes per capita on both sides of the border, but lately,sorry to say, I'm thinking we may be gaining on the Canadians.
