City council will be voting on it this week - I - of course - am in favor 🙂 Here's to hoping for a positive outcome..

But they do taste like chicken, most of them do anyways.
We need a mouth smacking, watering emoticon, like Fred Flinstone with corn, or a big set of lips, with a big tongue, like the DQ guy. (I watch TV when I go to my parents!)

Snake meat is also low in fat and nutritious .

I believe it is time to take back our freedom. I spent a lot of time on the weekend trying to find out about purchasing land, building permits, water rights, etc. Did you know that in Ontario if you park your trailer on your land, which is bought and paid for by you, you can only sleep in it 60 nights a year? If you have a creek on your property, you own the creek bed, but not the water. Ontario is probably the worst province to do anything remotely unconventional, like live on your own property as you see fit.
So when you say you want to produce your own food source in your own yard, it's going to a take a strong stand by the masses.

Look up who owns the mineral rights and fly over rights. You only own the actual insider perimeter, if they found oil on your property, they can move in, put a drill into your pool or garden and start drilling and pumping. I think you only own down about 1 foot as well, so any mining, which of course would include strip mining, is fair game.

There is a certain provision you have to seek and pay for in order to actually own what is under your property, I can not remember the actual name, you can look it up though.

not completely true....ive just put a nine acre lake/ protein source (bass!) on my property. the guy for the ministry told me you effectivly own everything down, however, if there was a find of oil big companies would come and buy up the land....if you refused to sell, they'd just buy next door and drill down and then at a right angle into the source...thats legal. however, they'd need a permit.

also, if the source of water your talking about comes from your property, you don't need a permit...mine comes from rain/ runoff so i needed a permit to take (11,000,000 gallons i had to apply for!!!!) the water for the lake. a river running through your own property starts somewhere else and finishes somewhere else, hence you need permission to take that water.....you can take buckets at a time without issue....its when you make a dam or divert it! just imagine if that river running through your property suddenly dried up one day....u go upriver to the property next door to find your neighbour has diverted it and started bottling it....you'd be mad....the only thing that prevents him doing that is his requirment for a permit to take water...which would be refused in this case...
