I hadn't herd a thing about this until i read it so i guess ill go look up information on it but it just seams silly to say no fishing anywhere in toronto city limits. maybe rob ford will see this as the war on fishing just like he loves to talk about the war on cars who knows.

so apparently its just for the harbour front. which kinda sucks but then again the water quality in the harbour is terrible so maybe its best there is no fishing there. might be in your best interest health wise lol. at least we have toronto island. I'm guessing someone probably got hooked walking along the board walk so they are shutting it down good thing is lake ontario is big they only closed .1% of it the rest is good to go!

Wow.............. your "look up" regarding information should prove both informative and (hopefully) enlightening.

Be polite, please take 2 minutes out of your day and call. Ask the admin to connect you with someone who can explain the reason for the new no fishing ban, which parks are affected and why there was no public consultation.

Two minutes out of your day to let them know this is not going past easily.

Today is Monday folks, let's get their phones a 'ringin.

No further derails on this thread, thank-you. MuskieBait is right, the city took action behind closed doors. This should not go unnoticed.

Let's get calling!

There sure are bigger problems in the world than a fishing ban...like the City of Toronto decided to shut down fishing access along the Lakeshore BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and WITHOUT PUBLIC CONSULTATION!!! A motion was made to secure fishing access...but the City decided to erect No Fishing signs BEFORE the motion had even been discussed and official voted and passed (or rejected). That is undemocratic. How much bigger a problem do you need? We do live in Canada after all.

It may be fishing today...it could be extra taxes or shoving the subway bill down your throat the next day...or why don't we all pay a tax for plastic bags...oh, forget about that, there won't be bags...so now please bring extra reusable bag wherever you go starting 2013. The City seems to make all these decisions on their own without consulting any of the voters.

re-usable bags are environmentally friendly and cut down costs. at first you will hate it. then you will get used to it and find something else to get mad over. you seam mad bro. you don't have to be mad.
