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

    I haven’t seen that one but I’ve heard about it. This was set a long time ago as it’s been a while since Saskatchewan had mountains (I think they ran more or less east to west at that point) though.

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    In the wake of a horrific mass shooting in the United States, Canada’s Liberal government announced a slew of new gun control measures on Monday, the most controversial of which is a freeze on handgun purchases throughout the country. Some of the new measures are small tweaks to existing laws...

    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    I’m sure there’s lots of conflicting information but it is a pretty weird situation. It was Border Patrol agents who finally went into the classroom and shot the gunman dead. The United States Justice Department is investigating police response to the shooting. The focus in the Uvalde, Texas...

    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    ?????????????????????????????????????? The Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde Independent School District police force are no longer cooperating with the Texas Department of Public Safety's investigation into the massacre at Robb Elementary School and the state's review of the law...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    OK, this is interesting, just so I don’t completely butchered things unintentionally perhaps somebody like Colpy should Wade in here… I cannot speak for the smooth board cannons, but the other weapons you are describing, in Canada, I don’t think are even considered weapons?? Seriously. The year...

    The Uvalde Police Department is pleased to announce that we have completed the process, and been awarded grant funds through the Office of the Governor to outfit EVERY Uvalde Police Officer with Level 4 body armor. This important piece of legislation provided funding to equip police officers...

    And again... (Another US Shooting)

    The White Hats had body armour also. I think I read this on this thread, & I think you posted it. It was a picture and it showed the local police department all posing together wearing their body armour and being Congratulated because they all had what was called “Level 4” Armour. Level IV is...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    I don’t own a gun. Have never owned a gun. Probably will never own a gun. I don’t hunt (I don’t need to & don’t see the “sport” in it) and when my girl who loves to fish goes fishing…If I go with her…I take a book and not a Rod (I don’t need to & don’t see the “sport” in it). That said, my...

    Gun Control is Completely Useless.

    From the link you quoted: Current handgun owners will not be affected by the federal government’s “national freeze,” although they would only be allowed to sell or transfer the weapon to an authorized business. The freeze is set to last indefinitely. Can’t sell or trade the ones already here...

    Get ready for higher food prices again and shortages

    Doesn’t have to be 55mph though….just pick a number & everyone in that road goes that speed. Predictably predictable.

    Oh Dear

    I think the OP is alluding to this: Former supreme court justice Louise Arbour’s long-awaited report on sexual misconduct in the Canadian military is as thorough, serious and wide-reaching as anyone could’ve hoped for. It’s 700 pages long, with 48 substantial recommendations that, if...

    Uhm…no. Formula1 on a Canadian City Street. Just off the top of my head I’m gonna say nope. 1) If the tires project out farther than the body of the vehicle then nope. 2) if no horn then nope. 3) no headlights? Then nope. 4) no tail lights or signal lights or license plate light or back up...

    Get ready for higher food prices again and shortages

    Ideally to create predictable situations everybody on the same road should be going the same speed. If they, let’s say, reduce the maximum speed limit to 55 mph for everybody there would be fuel cost savings, but would this fly?

    Families of Ontario murder victims outraged at Supreme Court ruling

    I know it sounds crazy but that’s the system we’ve got….& it’s not just murders, but a bulk discount on crimes in general. Commit a whole string of crimes, end up with 100+ charges…. get an actual sentence on half of them… and whatever the longest sentence is, all the charges are served...

    Families of Ontario murder victims outraged at Supreme Court ruling

    Maximum sentencing in Canada is 25 years. Murder somebody and get the maximum sentence and that’s 25 years. Murder many and serve all sentences concurrently, and the maximum sentence is 25 years. Bulk discount for Multiple murders. Less packaging and probably better for the environment or...

    Trudeau cancels appearance at Surrey fundraiser after protesters hurl racial slurs

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to say with your one sentence drive by. What are you trying to say? Prime Minister Shoe-polish calls others racist…in a blackface calling the kettle black sort’a way, which is ironic and sad and really means less than nothing because of where it’s coming from...
