    It goes beyond just guns. The whole idea of leaving someone to their own recognizance with the promise they take their pills is ludicrous too. Not how it should be but how it is. The guy who severed the guy next to his head on a bus was 'cured with pills' but left to take his own pills which he...

    Trudeau cancels appearance at Surrey fundraiser after protesters hurl racial slurs

    No but the people down there didn't say he's from Quebec. They said he's Canadian. They are distinct only in their own minds.

    Trudeau cancels appearance at Surrey fundraiser after protesters hurl racial slurs

    When I was dating my wife (an American from WV) several people who I met there were surprised I was so nice. Their previous experience with Canadians had been visitors from Quebec and they therefore thought all Canadians were assholes.

    If you require meds, then no gun for you is how it should be. Too many cases of a crazy person killing someone after they thought they were better and stopped taking their meds.

    If they violated procedures, they should face whatever disciplinary action comes from that. If they followed procedures and the procedures were weak, then they should be updated.

    We just had a potential shooter shot outside an elementary school in Toronto today. The moron chose to walk around the neighbourhood with a rifle and gave police a chance.

    I am not saying he is not another victim and the circumstances no doubt did induce. And I now know it can be caused by other factors (thanx). I was under the impression it was primarily a blockage caused by plaque and stuff on the artery walls around the heart or the cracking of those walls for...

    That is sad but it was probably due to happen within a couple of weeks anyways. A healthy heart doesn't have a heart attack out of the blue.

    When the authorities release no information on the killer, then you get these fake stories filling the vacuum. And you get the questions 'why have they released no information?'. With Buffalo shooting we knew who the shooter was and all his political leanings within hours.

    You mean there are restrictions against automatic weapons? How am I supposed to blow the shit out of a deer without an automatic weapon?

    Yes there was a shooting this past weekend at a beach in the city. There will always be a way. But its all about the odds. I have gone the other way. I just shrug my shoulders (otherwise know as thoughts and prayers) and move on. This is not something that will change (if they can't stop a...

    I never said it was possible. But you can reduce odds. And if I was in a locked room with a guy with a knife or a gun I would take my chances with the guy with the knife.

    Unless you can stop the first person from getting the gun in the first place.

    Nothing ever changes so it's just thoughts and prayers and move on. Perhaps a photo shoot for a couple politicians.

    ‘Painful summer ahead:’ Gas prices reach 211.9 in Metro Vancouver, expected to rise

    Oil company profits are usually percentage of base price so the higher the base price, the more $ they rake in. Some taxes are also % of the gas station price (HST/GST for example). The higher the price of gas the more $ the governments rake in. Then there is that extra 11 cents a litre added by...
