A company promoting ice hut rentals near North Bay, Ont., has sparked controversy over a Kijiji advertisement that said status card holders are not welcome.

"It's just a blatant racist statement," said Les Couchi from Ni****ing First Nation.

"There's no two ways about it."

The post was uploaded by IceHutRentals.ca earlier this week.

The ad originally stated that status card users will lose their deposits and will "not get the time of day."

'Being as ignorant as you can'

"I've seen lots of stuff in my 60 years of existence on the planet, but nothing as overt as this," Couchi said.

"This is just ... being as ignorant as you can."

Couchi was notified about the Kijiji ad by Tom, whose last name is being withheld because he fears there will be repercussions for speaking out.

Tom, who lives in the North Bay area, found the post while searching for ice hut rentals on Lake Ni****ing.

"It just blew me away," Tom said.

"I've never seen anything like that posted before."

'Doesn't own the laws and the lake'

The ad has also caught the attention of avid fisherman Sean Voldock from Renfrew County.

Voldock insists the sentiment in the ad does not reflect Ontario's ice fishing community.

"He [company owner] doesn't own the laws and the lake," Voldock said.

"I don't understand his thinking."

Ice Hut Rentals apology
Ice Hut Rentals published an apology on its Facebook page on Tuesday for its "poorly worded Kijiji ad."

'Everyone is welcome at our huts'

The ad has caused a flurry of Facebook activity with many people calling for the company to be shut down or boycotted.

CBC News contacted the company for comment, but did not receive a reply.

An apology was posted on the company's Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.

"Everyone is welcome at our huts on Sunset Point, Lake Ni****ing," the post said.

"We sincerely apologize for any hurt feelings and confusion our poorly worded ad has caused."

Weather you agree or not companies should have the right to refuse service. If it cost them business then that is the penalty they will pay.

I would assume the advertising they are getting over this has cost them plenty, maybe even their entire ice fishing season.

Lessons can and always have been expensive don't ya think.

"It's just a blatant racist statement," said Les Couchi from (a) First Nation.

Understand that the cry of racism is coming from a person who has proven their racial purity to the government. A government which has given them a number proving that racial purity. With that number comes special racial status, special access to our political systems, special access to Canada's resources both monetary and natural.

Les Couchi is a supporter of our Apartheid system that segregated people by race, not just for where they can live, but what rules and laws apply to them.

YET they call those who are against Canada's Apartheid system racists, those who think all Canadians should be equal at least when it comes our governments and their institutions "ignorant".

There are those in Canada (the majority) who support Canada's Apartheid polices and those who don't (a minority) but it is clear to every thinking person which group contains the racists.

Racial purity??? Is there such a thing??

He sure worded that add very poorly. I think his intent was clear and his apology is damage control.

However, he should be able to request that the regulations of the lake as far as limits and what you can keep be followed by all customers. I think that's as far as he can go legally though.

within limits and without discrimination. Business don't get to decide, for example, that they don't want to do business with (or hire) blacks, or natives, or people with red hair. If a company is renting something that is being used for a legal purpose and the item is no more at risk than if it was rented to someone else, I don't think the company has, or should have, a leg to stand on.

Apparently Lake N i p i s s i n g is a "swear word" , and needed censoring ,

oh boy, political correctness for the grey masses

I've actually been fishing on that lake, great fishing and no one was ashamed or embarrassed by the name of the lake or whom shared the resources,,,

My God! " can I still say that"? ( God ?) the human race is doomed by its own stupidity !
