The velvet bag used to carry my marbles when I was a kid in public school, giving me a nostalgic feeling for that brand. I'm a retired adult now, and single malts are for me. I haven't had any CR in decades, so good riddance.

You clearly don't understand the law on this. If they did not have non-resident anglers licenses for Ontario, they were fishing illegally. If they were fishing legally, there would be no reason to flee back to the US. That is a potential offense I reported. Now you are blocked - congratulations.
