No Trespassing signs on CMHC lands and trails

this thread…

A farmer was sitting in the neighborhood bar getting hammered. A man came in and asked the farmer, "Hey, why are you sitting here on this beautiful day, getting drunk?" The farmer shook his head and replied, "Some things you just can't explain."

"So, what happened that's so horrible?" the man asked as he sat down next to the farmer.
"Well," the farmer said, "today I was sitting on a stool by my cow, milking her. Just as I got the bucket 'bout full, she lifted her left leg and kicked over the bucket."
"Okay," said the man, "but that's not so bad."
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer replied.
"So what happened then?" the man asked.

The farmer said, "I grabbed some rope, took her left leg and tied it to the post on the left."
"And then?"
"Well, I sat back down and continued to milk her. Just as I got the bucket 'bout full, she took her right leg and kicked over the bucket."

The man laughed and said, "Again?"
The farmer replied, "Some things you just can't explain."
"So, what did you do then?" the man asked.
"I got another piece of rope and tied her right leg to the post on the right."
"And then?"
"Well, I sat back down and began milking her again. Just as I got the bucket about full, the stupid cow knocked over the bucket with her tail."

"Hmmm . . . " the man said and nodded his head.
"Some things you just can't explain," the farmer said.
"So, what did you do?" the man asked.

"Well," the farmer said, "I didn't have anymore rope. So I took off my belt, stood on the stool behind her and tied her tail to the rafter. In that moment, my pants fell down and my wife walked in.
Some things you just can't explain."

LOL

I think that is a riddle not a question :-)

A riddle is a type of question. Do we need to draw a Venn diagram for you?

1. http://britishproperties.com/ intends to develop most of the land on which lie Cypress Mountain mountain bike trails.

2. Grouse Mountain, yes the actual mountain, not just the commercial business, is for sale.

3. CMCH has just put ALL the Seymour mountain bike trails into play as a potential land development site.

Mr. Colbert is a mountain biker and a member of the NSMBA.

He has been dealing with the types of issues listed above since 1990 both as a mountain bike enthusiast and in his business.

He has knowledge of law and politics, albeit as a politician his success is suspect :-)

To beat him in the Supreme Court, Councillor Bond relied on two in-house lawyers, 3 external legal counsel and an entire staff contingent. It took them 4 hearings over 3 months, possibly a Supreme Court record against a self-represented party in such a short time. He prevailed at the first two, the third was adjourned generally. They then put together a team to work the media including two members of the NSMBA, friends of Bond, writing for newspapers. He still has not backed down :-)

It would seem to me that when the developers come to take away the Cypress, Grouse and Seymour trails, Mr. Colbert might be someone you would want on your side. At the very least he could run interference for the better part of a decade against the other parties :-)

He can't be bullied and doesn't care about campaign contributions from land developers. He is their worst nightmare LOL

Scrooge McDuck

Heeeeers Johnny!

You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.

You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking - the truth-teller or the liar - and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?

Easy.

Ask one of the guards "If I asked the other guard which path leads to paradise, which one would he tell me to choose?"

Then take the other path.

Holy shite, I think i just "wasted" an hour reading this thread. I laughed, i cried, i emotioned all over the place. Can't wait for the reboot.

It would seem to me that when the developers come to take away the Cypress, Grouse and Seymour trails, Mr. Colbert might be someone you would want on your side. At the very least he could run interference for the better part of a decade against the other parties :-)

Given the displays of entitlement and arrogance displayed in this very thread, it would seem to me that mountain bikers would be better off without Mr. Colbert's advocacy.

In all seriousness, I believe that scrooge/smedley/hazen are not throwaway personalities dreamed up for trolling, but rather they are real personalities that exist in the mind of one tortured, schizophrenic brain. And at least one of those personalities is afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I again suggest - seek help.

If you have enough folks doing laps in your noggin - you can end up representing quite a few people.

:clap::lol:

Sharon,

In a related topic, I am considering running for the NSMBA Board of Directors and inquire generally from all posters here who are NSMBA members what matters should the NSMBA be addressing given the new Societies Act.

Best regards

Hazen Colbert

Oh come on people, don't be so harsh on 'Hazen Colbert' !!! I applaud his keenness to run as a director of the NSMBA and to help promote and grow Mountain Biking on the North Shore! All volunteerism should be appreciated.

Hey Haze, if you can persuade Monica to run as well that would be WONDERFUL! You two have such a unique way of looking at things and your fresh perspective would create such an AWESOME synergy with the current NSMBA Program Manager who is well known and regarded for his open-mindedness, receptiveness to ideas that are not his and his contemplative thoughtfullness!!

Also the directors meetings would become so much more interesting with the inclusion of your wit and clear cogent insight! I hope your commitment to transparency will mean that you will keep us all informed of what transpires.

Looking forward to the NSMBA AGM!

Yup two well balanced people. No anger issues at all!

Sharon,

You are not going to get the Woodro v Lee thing reset three weeks before the AGM are you?

I have been through it all previously in other provinces, the granddaddy of it all being Chico Racing v 24-Hours of Adrenaline along with Hardwood Hills v _24-Hours-of-Adrenaline. _

Best we all work together. I have a feeling the "Borg" are already planning to assimilate the land we rely on.

Best regards,

Hazen

Scrooge McDuck

WOW a real life evil genius
not just a character in a science fiction horror movie
although its tempting to take advantage of his secret powers, all the movies show the end result is things blowing up (often as a result of Bond)

too bad you don't have a twin in the City of Vancouver to take on Mayor Mussantolini and his quest to cover everything green and living with more black top

Let's not get too caught up in Mr. Colbert's "genius"

He didn't read the appropriate act, or if he did he didn't think he needed to follow it. Which is funny as he sought to rely on the same act.

It wasn't "adjourned generally" his petition was struck. Gone, finito, Void Ab Initio.. See paragraph 24.

Probably the best part is where he tried to have counsel for Mr. Bond removed as counsel of record. The Grayall J's response is priceless para 33 - "no basis" and then Mr. Colbert suggests that this is the whole reason he showed up aaaand.. "we are adjourned". Dude dropped the judicial mic right there. No wonder HC has had to deal with so many lawyers. They love unrepresented litigants like this. Takes away from the drudgery.

ps. Bruce Greyall J. is a Justice of the Supreme Court his honorific is "My Lord" - not "Your Honour". That is for provincial court judges.
