I’d suggest you’re watching the wrong podcasts. I live in Alberta and I don’t believe there is nearly that much support for separation, The real numbers seem to be in the low to mid 20% range. Those who are separatist will likely destroy their own cause by looking for an early vote. A...

Might want to do some research into the meaning of a "federal" state and how if differs from a unitary state . . . And then look at the Constitution Acts, and their history . . .

Well, yes and no. The decision says that the 350K as a group don't have protection. But have you (or whoever drafted the "Winning" statement) actually read the order? The order states: "This order is without prejudice to any challenge to Secretary Noem's February 3, 2025 vacatur notice...

Ontario Hunter, I see that you've only hunted in South Africa, so you can be forgiven for making this statement. On a the 12th day of a 14 day hunt in the jungle, you take (almost) whatever shot you can on the bongo. The Bako trackers know far better than you that there isn't "lots of game to...

I think you’re comparing sport shooting with shooting for food. When people are hunting to feed their families, it’s not about a ‘sporting shot” or giving the game a “fair chance.”

Very, very well put. But . . . I’m one of the ones who has stopped bringing back trophies (mostly at the command of SWMBO) . . . So I didn’t bring back my LDE trophy, and now I find I have all of the spiral horns on the wall except one . . . Stupidity of me, or . . . I might just have to go...

If you're a good shot, have a reasonable understanding of buffalo anatomy and what laying down might do to organ placement, have a steady rest, and your PH will allow you to take the shot, etc., then I don't think a shot would be unethical. Having said that, if you decide to take that shot, I...

Red Leg, with all due respect, you must have this wrong. I was told, very clearly, earlier in this thread that tariffs on China would not result in empty shelves, but that the vendor would pick up the tariff and keep sending the product. I clearly learned from that post. Perhaps you missed...

No.

Normally, I'd agree with you, but I think this may be a special case: 1. The Conservatives got more votes overall than they have for many elections. What killed them was the collapse of the NDP, with likely 100% of those voters switching to the Liberals (they aren't likely Conservative voters...

On the other hand, Carney was Prime Minister of Canada, attending international conferences, making major decisions, without having a seat . . .

As a lifelong (and proud) Catholic, I think we can get off the discussion of the appropriate colour of suit to wear to a funeral, Catholic or otherwise. First, because what’s important is that you are there, honoring and praying for the souls of the departed, and what you are wearing is...

I don’t understand what you’re saying here. Have I called anyone names? I don’t think so, certainly not in the post you referenced. I was simply pointing out that there’s no point in debating people who tell you in advance that nothing you can say or do will ever convince them that they are...

"You will never convince me . . ." Finally, we get the bottom line. There's no point in having a discussion or debate with people who will never be convinced. Facts won't matter, and evidence won't matter. It's like trying to convince a flat earthed that the earth is round. I'm not saying...

Beg to disagree about the after dark! Hunting bongo in Cameroon we tracked too long but got the bongo (day 12 of 14 day hunt). Had we not got it, we’d have gotten out in time but with butchering and carrying the loads and then getting lost (who says the Bako don’t get lost?!), it got dark...
