In my office at the moment sit four decoys for the Ducks Unlimited auction on Friday evening. They range from a working decoy to museum quality duck reproductions. Sitting on a filing cabinet, they face me from across the room. But Thursday evening they will travel to the arena to part of the auctions of Ducks Unlimited. I have enjoyed looking at decoys since my wife some 30 years ago gave me a mallard decoy as a gift. It began a long enjoyment of collecting duck carvings.

I would guess that a lot of people have actually seen this bird, but just passed it off as another funny shaped duck.

I would like to begin by wishing all of my constituents a very happy spring. I know that this past winter has been long, hard and expensive for the majority of us, and we are all very deserving of a little sunshine, warmth, and of course, the lower heating costs that will come along with summer.
Probably the greatest relief for people living in Northwestern Ontario will be the ability to drive highways without risking life and limb to negotiate their way over treacherous levels of accumulated snow and ice.

This is Spring Fever Weekend. This year it might also be known as the “Cabin Fever Breakout”.
