No idea why you’re asking. You’ve accused others of not reading what you have said, taking the time to understand. Now you’re asking me what about “smoking”, “obesity”,……Driving on the 401 too?What do you say about obesity and smoking|?
Maybe I’m not mentioning stuff like that, because it doesn’t quite fall into “Don’t on Lake Simcoe ice, it’s unsafe”?

Anglers rescued from Lake Simcoe ice floe ordered to pay $200 each
The Township of Oro-Medonte will require the 26 fishermen who became stranded on an ice floe on Lake Simcoe earlier this month to pay back some of the costs for the rescue.

The dynamics with respect to Municipalities recovering cost and sending a message are very different than the govt of Canada doing the same when needing to rescue us[.
Their tax revenue and budgets are tiny…relatively speaking. Yet every year, people that don’t live in those municipalities ( you know pay land taxes)…require police, fire, EMS, etc etc.
What you think the taxes you pay to CRA fund the municipality budget? Please don’t tell me that….There are also Hefty bills for those that drive onto the ice, whose vehicles go through, and then have to be retrieved at a later date. ..
So the difference is, what you haven’t taken the time to realize, nor read what I’ve said ( I’ve specifically mentioned tourist/tourism) is that for the things you are listing. Yes, your taxes “help”…the type of things I’m listing and referring to, are incidents when “tourist” are rescued…Do you understand now? But could include those that live there ( pay land taxes) depending on the specifics. Aka what activity, what warnings were issued.
kind of like those on the bottom of the ocean.
