Got mail from Ontario MNR on Monday but haven't opened it yet.  Figured it to be the renewal fee for the green Sportman's Card ("Conservation Card"?) which I guess I got about three years ago.  I wondered at the time (ie. 3 years ago) why I needed BOTH this green card AND an Ontario fishing license but never really questioned their process.

When I renew this card (whatever it's called) this year, I'll STILL need to purchase an additional, separate Ontario fishing license in order to fish there, correct?  Also, as I understand it, I cannot purchase such a fishing license UNLESS I have the "card," correct?  Bottom line: said green card was simply another way to extract revenue, correct?

Is this what is happening?  Am I missing something?
