The figure I keep hearing is that 8 or 9 out of 10 guns used for criminal activity are illegal guns from across the border. Even an outright ban on guns in Canada would have little effect on that. Don't forget we have some pretty strong gun laws right now in this country. How well they are enforced is another story. I guess my question is what issue are you trying to fix? Edit: Just to be be clear I have no problem with practical, effective gun laws .

A good article I thought belonged in this sub as it crosses alot of borders.I believe it crosses alot of political lines as well. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/06/power-wealthy-earth-politics-democracy-plutocracy

Un frigging unbelievable!

Atta boy Legs

If I'm the Argo coach I'm telling Banks to hit the showers , he's done for the night

Lordy, Lordy!!!!

BS call

Oh , the look on MBTs face with the bobbled snap, priceless

Touchdown BB !!!!

Pick 6!!!

Not only is the USA collapsing but they are doing their best to take everyone else with them.

It's just becoming a question of how far backwards parts of the US will revert to. Then it becomes a question of how much the other parts will put up with. And there's your civil war.

My worry is that the economy and the lingering effects of the pandemic ( inflation, shortages, general frustrations real and imagined) will override what he is doing. ( selling his soul for power ). I'm really hoping the Libs convince Trudeau to step down before the next election. A new face would go a long way to insuring PP disappears into the books as a failed Trump wanna be.

The Argos owners were worried if they played on the weekend a crowd might show up and ruin their vision of the league and it's ultimate demise.

On that very subject. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/28/why-were-democrats-caught-flat-footed-by-the-end-of-roe-v-wade And this

I guess unless you are a gun toting, neo Nazi, white supremacist, you have no right to protest. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/28/peaceful-pro-choice-protests-violence-attacks-police

Lol. I guess I worded that poorly. They need to be alive and healthy going into the slaughter plant. I presume the US laws are the same

The opposite. You can't use a previously dead animal for human consumption so there are 10,000 less animals in the system for breeding/ slaughter. The packers will use this as an excuse to up the price of beef.

Personal rights and wants over rule everything else. It's not a good recipe for a functional society.

When this D smells blood they are relentless

Woohoo a pick 6

Legs best game as a Bomber

But it's not just the GOP. The Dems while not as utterly insane as the Trump crew have been guilty of pandering to the rich and to large corporations just to fill their coffers. Of starting needless wars that have killed 10s of thousands. Of not joining the rest of the world in a healthcare system that helps everyone. Of not waking up to the destruction of the enviroment. Republican or Democrat the USA is all about amassing my stack of money and keeping the other guys hands off of it. That stack and what the individual desires is more important than anyone else's life ( including children), the rest of the world, the environment they live in, or their fellow citizens rights or lives. They are a failed state. Can they recover ? Perhaps but it might require them to completely fall apart 1st. And that won't be particularly pleasant for their next door neighbours.

School shootings are so normalised in the US now that every time you can predict the outcome. Outrage for a week or 2 then back to normal. It won't change. Or if it does it will be for the worse. I believe this chart covers the last 9 years. And just to keep that American number in perspective, Canada had 19 school shootings between 1884 and 2016. ntry School Shootings United States 288 Mexico 8 South Africa 6 India 5 Pakistan 4 Nigeria 4 Afghanistan 3 Brazil 2 France 2 Canada 2 China 1 Russia 1 Turkey 1 Germany 1 Kenya 1 Greece 1 Azerbaijan 1 Hungary 1 Estonia 1 Japan 0 United Kingdom 0 Italy 0 Spain 0 Argentina 0 Australia 0 Netherlands 0 Switzerland 0 School Shootings by Country 2022 Show Sources

Na, it circled, plugged up and the crap flowed all over long ago. Now it's overflowing into our place.
