Friends
I need to take a few seconds as Ugandans frustrate me with silliness to make
a few points that are important to all of us as citizens of this region. Yes
we have had a brutal winter, not that it was brutal but our winters have
been very good until when this one reminded us what they were in the late
70s early 80s. Summer is stating and we have the very first national long
weekend from today. As everyone gets pumped up to leave the city and drive
to the cottage to see what damage nature has thrown you there, I need to
make a couple of important facts. We are still in winter and it has not gone
yet. I have scavenged the weather network website and the temperatures up
North are still very cold.
When you look at the entire North side of the city, places as Orillia all
way to Walkerton up Saul St Marie Sudbury The Muskokas is still very cold. I
have read at a site that Algonquin Park is going to be at least minus one or
minus two tomorrow night. So the region is clearly in the minuses at night.
And it can warm up in the day to plus some times double figures but the
nights are still very low. So I am appealing to all of you to drop the
suggestion that we have the first long weekend and it is party time, this is
a very false weekend for its cold. Because the winter has been that cold,
the water temperatures are still too low for the boats, and all water bodies
are going to remain cold till when temperatures really get very warm. The
ground is still cold therefore there is no reason to put the seeds into the
ground, and do not even think about growing the flowers. The whole message I
am sending out is that we are still in winter.
As we go out there from today to Monday next week, let us realize that this
long week end is about checking out the cottage and anything that has been
destroyed and how to fix it, but you are not to camp outside, you are not to
spend time on a lake in a boat for the temperatures are simply too
unfriendly. And this covers all way from upper Quebec, upper Ottawa and
upper Toronto. I have talked to a girl today from North of The Sault and she
has said that the bears are still in ponds not waken yet. There you go. If
you think of drinking on either waters or roads remember that the OPP has a
nationwide drinking and driving check out, from coast to coast, and this is
the first time they have ever made it a coast to coast because we for some
reason get more dead Canadians on this long weekend than any. Dont drink
and drive. The rest of us are going to remain in the town for we are working
throughout. Let us please cut down on the deaths that happen in this
province/country by simply making some very basic decisions that make sense.
I fail to understand why we lose such a number of people on this weekend.
Enjoy the first long weekend and have a good time with all those that matter
to you the most.
