I am the Western Border patrol. I am sure you have applied for the appropriate permits? I have been fooled before.

Permits appear to be made of funny plastic paper with faces of all manner of historic figures from the queen on up....I think you will find they are in order!

Default Set the record straight

Sorry Rob I can’t help you with the transport of the paint…but thought I should set the record straight on a couple “cross border posts” …For the record, The historical items were subject to the mandatory cross-border removal 120 day waiting/cooling down period, this was strictly adhered to. The official appeal process that was offered to the aggrieved locals went unchallenged. So as such… All required permits were issued by the authorized (westerly bound material/items) permit officer, on duty in Shilo (permit #7625683).

More photos of officer found here; http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...t=rick+debruyn
You will find the permit officer happily assisting with loading and removal.

Default A photo of Rob?

I can't believe they were able to photograph Rob! He usually is pretty good at avoiding the camera. He must have been very tired at that moment. Most of the Prairie Command photo's over the years are of Rob's hand covering the shot. The photo of Rob just standing there is more rare than the Field Artillery Tractor body that was found! Well done.
Derk.

Hey, if I was foolish enough to let (ney,even assist) the poaching of an artillery shell from the province, then the photo is a minor thing in comparison.

Perhaps someone slipped something into my drink that day.

I am starting to get nervous about this entire upcoming operation...permits or not, that Manitoba seems like a lawless land with roving bands of MV bandidos demanding pesos in exchange for safe passage...just look at those pictures...who would trust any of those ruffians? I may need backup!
