Thursday is World Suicide Prevention Day
The COVID-19 pandemic, or more specifically the government’s shutdown of most sectors of our economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, is a monsoon drowning our country in hopelessness. Hopelessness kills. Hopelessness can spark a brief but intense period of despair, which may lead to a suicidal crisis.

Can a .410 Shotgun be a “Variant” of an AK-47?
Canada really needs a legal definition of the word “variant” as it applies to firearms. In addition to the growing list of 12-gauge shotguns[i] banned through Bill Blair’s Order In Council, we discovered the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) is now operating under a very Liberal interpretation of the term “variant”. Prohibited Weapons Order No. 13 classified the AK-47 as a Prohibited firearm. … [Read more...]
