I know its not a real solution, but that is one reason we moved from Ontario to BC, BC has way better social support services.

Agreed. I'm not a gun owner but was around guns as a kid (dad was a hunter) and he was super into safety of the whole thing. Except my friends dad wasn't so safe, he had us reloading shotgun shells via purpose built relaoding carousal as kids. My friend had no qualms about it, but I'm like dude make sure the primer isn't skewed when the shell comes down, careful with that. I had visions of a crimped primer setting off the powder lol

Canadian kids 12 through 17 can apply for their gun license. Or If you are with a licensed owner you can handle guns. I went hunting with my dad in the teen days. Canada is not as strict as the US folk believe, especially if you live rurally and are hunting, you can be under 12. We just don't use it to attach our identity too like gun nuts in the USA

If you compare taxes paid to what you would spend on medicine and health care or other out of pocket, you would be further ahead in Canada. While not perfect, we have social systems to try to level the playing field for all. With deductions and tax credits my 22-24% tax bracket is actually only about 13% paid tax

Well that's the thing, the city gets money from permits not via the charity. If you follow your local city licensing and permits then things go well

Strict is a loose term. A Canadian neighbour had more than 10 guns, overkill for city apartment living...but if you have a valid license its fair game

Moves are a pain, the biggest part is you lose circles of support as in friends, colleagues, community. But moving itself, while sucking badly is not terribly difficult. I have moved from UK, to Ontario, now to BC and its probably 12 houses I have lived in so far. You start to simplify your belongings as you go, but starting fresh friendship connections is the tricky part.

Yep, I had a friend that was one of those I can change the world types. He was major of a place for a while, he said it sucked because you can barely accomplish anything, ans if your staff doesn't like your ideas they work against you in subtle ways like not bringing you the relevent information on topics or reports etc. Basically clandestine backstabbing all term

We've already had people in cars in Canada ramming Muslims, but joining Europe isn't going to cause a guy in Europe to drive across and ram a Canadian family. They would have to travel here first, and if they are the type of person to plan a flight to rent a car to ram people, they are going to do that anyway

Are they driving the vehicles across the ocean to ram you?

You usually have to go barefoot to get traction while not ruining the membrane with shoes. From your breathing the ball gets humid and sweaty inside, they end up stinking like feet. You hope you are the first person to use it at an event and not the last

If you like the smell of feet
