    I'm OK with gender equality in minesweeping.

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    Well, that's a good thing. Highly unlikely to be a shining success, but better than discussing ways to advance and strengthen anti-Semitism.

    I thought darkening Canada's skies was Trudeau's job.

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    Many European countries have knife bans. I obey 'em when I'm there. My position on gun control for the United States: 1. Generally, any adult should have the right to own a firearm unless and until they demonstrate that they can't be trusted with one. 2. Certain firearms are exceptionally...

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    I question the validity of comparing such a generally useful tool (and the very first tool created by humans with the possible exception of the sharp stick) with a purpose designed killing tool. I'm all in favor of carrying a gun, too, if the individual feels it's warranted, and I do wherever...

    Does that make it a bad idea?

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    I've carried a drop-point pocket knife since I was 6 or so. Most useful tool in a variety of situations. Never used it as a weapon, but prepared to a couple of times (off the clip, thumb or finger on the lever). What's your point?

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    It's illegal to "transfer" a high-capacity magazine in Maryland (meaning buy, sell, or give). Maryland has no say over what Virginia does, and decided to stop short of making it illegal to possess high-capacity mags. So if I bring a high-capacity mag into Maryland, the only restriction is I...

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    Yep, Maryland has banned clips of more than 10 rounds. Means I have to drive six whole miles (10km) to get to a Virginia gun shop where I buy 30 and 50 round clips, legal as church on Sunday.

    Saskatchewan RCMP say 10 dead, 15 hospitalized after stabbings, suspects still at large

    I know, right? When I think of the 22 people rolling-pinned to death in Uvalde, makes me wonder "Why don't we just sell semi-auto rifles with 30-round clips at the grocery store?"

    Would you fly in a 737 Max 8 right now?

    Checking your numbers. . . we're talking 40,000 km, so about 800 km/day. 67 km/hr for 12 hours sailing each day. If you're solo, you need to heave to approx 12 hrs/day for sleep, meals, etc. I don't see that as likely. I'm not saying it's impossible, but. . . Link That sounds more realistic.

    Given the mindless hate most of our contributors here feel toward "the elite," isn't that a good thing?

    Who can stop these criminals of Tel Aviv?

    Torchy doesn't argue. Torchy makes proclamations. Given how receptive he's found this audience, gotta wonder why he bothers.

    Donald Trump Announces 2016 White House Bid

    You have no idea what the charges are, and one would think if it was that easy to rig the voting machines, they would have rigged themselves a majority in the House of Representatives. By the way, why do you think the Republicans don't rig the machines? Too gawd-fearin' righteous, or just too...

    Bill’s C-10 & C-11. If we aren’t talking about it already, shouldn’t we be?

    Brian Mulroney Passes.

    Well, I suppose they could bring his body back, kick it into the Rideau Canal, and bill his family for the cost.

    Joe Biden

    We need a young president! I'm sure this will be of great encouragement to those stupid enough to think 77 is young.
