I am posting this item as a review only and do not intend to infringe on AO copyright. Thanks to AO for the item.
Not sure if this was previously posted. Brian Rousch sent me this article from Alberta Outdoorsman. Don mentioned this last week while fishing at Police.
Naturally, there are all sorts of reasons the old law is idiotic, but the law is the law and ACA (and TU who owns Police Lake aerators) could possibly be liable for some moron who is trying to get a Darwin Award nomination.
Apparently this applies to all water bodies in Canada. At Police (for example), aeration is managed by E&P (Minister Phillips) and Oldman TU owns the actual aerators.
The is "Criminal Code" and it is not a matter of monetary liability, but criminal liability and people could be charged with manslaughter.
If anyone has an update, please jump in.
