Does anyone have recommendations for horse trail riding services within about a 2-hour drive of Toronto?
I’m an experienced rider and am looking for a long trail ride through nature, rather than a short guided walk around a property. Ideally, I’d love somewhere that allows experienced riders to go out without a guide, but I’m also open to a small guided group if that’s not an option.
Would especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually ridden there. Thanks!

I’ve recently rewatched seasons 8&9, and I can’t make up my mind of Tom and Luann where both in on a fake marriage so he could get his inheritance by getting married by his 50th birthday, or if she actually thought they were in love and it was a real relationship.

It’s painfully obvious Tom never really loved Luann, apart from the constant cheating he always looked really cold and distant around her. Luann on the other hand really did seem like she loved Tom. But on the other hand, if it was real, how could she just ignore all the blatant cheating? She knew but she just didn’t want to hear it.

Do you think it was an arrangement from the get go, or do you think Luann was just really gullible?

Edit- follow up if you think she was in it for real, why do you think she ignored the cheating, and then filed for a divorce over the same cheating?

I am trying to build hours towards getting a 150 ticket. I live in Toronto, and have started with a charter company as a deckhand. The boat is around 300 GT, and does charters in Toronto.
When I contacted Transport Canada to get my discharge book, they told me Toronto is sheltered waters and won’t count towards hours for sea service.

I’m confused, because from what I can make sense of, Great Lakes still count for sea service. One of the other companies based in Toronto I applied for (but obvs didn’t get) were providing training and a 60 licence, which still requires 1-2 months sea service.

As a side note- if you were starting out, would you try to get a 60 Limited, or 150 First Mate cert first, or just go straight for the 150 master? Once I’m closer to getting my sea service in I’m looking to study at western maritime or Georgia college
