they survive on american clients, i can see BC be open by june for canadians but i have a hard time seeing our borders being open. The other thing is these lodges have a lot of corporate canadian clients. A pretty fast way to get fired right now by corporate canada would be booking a team getaway at a lodge.

What do you see open by June? I'm trying to imagine anything besides solo or live in family fishing outings. How do charter operators maintain a 6 ft distance form their clients? It doesn't sound like things are going to suddenly get better, i assume it will be a gradual change.

I'm not trying to argue , just looking for a different perspective than my own.

... Now today they have the unmitigated gall to DEMAND that I call them asap (via My Service Canada account).

After a total of 42 hours "On Hold" over the past two weeks, I finally got a Two-Legs to speak to just shortly ago.
I did not rant at him, in fact expressed my gratitude that he and his colleagues on the front line are doing what they can in the face of these unfortunate times. He must have been barked at a LOT of late from the genuine thanks he proffered to that statement.

Long and short - nothing he / they can do from their end at the moment.
The ONLY folks that can deal with Fishing Claims and any transfers related to them are in their Processing Department.
From what he could determine I am more than qualified, and should be getting the "lost" weeks back down the road as well as going on Medical.
Let's hope so...
He flagged my case for their Processing Department and informed me they will actually call me (wonder about that...) within 5 to 7 business days.

So, some of the tension wanders a little.
Now HOPING they stick to their word and do what is right by my case.
Be thin for a spell, but maybe, just maybe we're back on track...

Cheers,
Nog

I was thinking that the social distancing would need to be lifted for any semblance of normality. I would love to see it over with....the sooner the better

Big enough boat for a plexiglas separator between operator and clients?
And
Clients sign off that they are presently cohabitating per the stay at home rules?
And
????
May take a bit of the fun out of it, but ...
 
The leader of Canada said that this will be the new normal till there is a vaccine!
They say that this will be 12 months?
So, don’t see a fix for social distancing for a long time.

Tourist boats, whale watching, fishing charters etc are officially F***ed. Tourism will be the last door to open, going to be a Pork and bean winter :(
 
The COVID-19 priorities and my "knuckle dragger observations" for this self isolation, social distancing etc are all over the map. My business (mining) is NFG, fair enough it is what it is until things turn around hunkering down.... Our prime minister and a ton of other federal and provincial employees are "working at home" still getting paid, but for a dude delivering for "skip the dishes" at $5~$9 an hour after expenses, fuel-car insurance-etc is kind of an essential service? it's essentially free to the consumer plus tip of course... If you are already living on /collecting social assistance in some way shape or form, you are now a priority to get more than before..

Major Hi-way and infrastructure work has stopped in a lot of areas, but the "peddle bike trail" construction between Ucluelet and Tofino in the Pacific Rim National Park (the "Trudeau Trail" as locally gazetted) is still going great guns works is still under way....

The only portion of government I've had reach out to me are the ones that collect, that seems to still be up & running both federally and provincially somebody has sneaked their way into their gov. offices hhhmmm...

No offence intended but we are all over the map. I will continue to watch, while appreciating all that is still being done for BC / Canada, my wife is a front line health care worker it's amazing what these dedicated people are doing for all of us and people we know and love.

I'll continue to socially distance, self isolate, avoid people Make some more popcorn............

Stay safe, let's clobber this thing so we can get back to regular fishing, hunting and not feeling like a bad person for being "one of the ones" out.... in the grocery store.... buying milk.....

Have a feeling UK is going to lose their prime minister.

I heard he has been moved out of ECU and gone back to his room. He's not out of the woods but this is a good sign.
 
the first fifteen minutes of this gives an idea what our southern neighbors are dealing with:
