Having had cars with winter tires and without, this I can say, they do make a huge difference BUT if the weather is really lousy, it’s safer to stay home and not venture out unless absolutely necessary. Far too many drivers out there that haven’t a clue of how to drive in snow, ice and slushy conditions. Case in point, a couple years ago, driving back from the cottage up near Port Carling, an early snow storm hit, driving was miserable from Wahta all the way down to the 401. A lot of drivers gave up and pulled over to the side. Others were literally sliding from one side of the road to the other. Saw at least a couple dozen accidents and another dozen in the ditches lining the 400. Had I known it would have been that bad, I would have stayed up at the cottage and tossed another log in the stove…..

The "gun ban" is not about protecting tax paying Canadians, it's entirely about protecting the terrified child dictator who is implementing the confiscation.

All you Hunter's here may enjoy the irony of this little video .....

I sure hope they don't make my "assault style" blacked out Bowie Knife illegal ! Mind you I have a non blacked one that'll likely remain legal.

It's like one of those picture games my grandkids play..."can you spot the difference" .. Cartridges and spec's are identical...maybe LeBlanc just did "eeny meeny minie mo"..

Yea that's what I was basically referring to, deep snow, bush roads into back lakes, on lakes in the winter, unplowed roads during or after a storm. I'll take my truck anytime over any awd SUV for those conditions. I still carry a pail of wood ashes in both vehicles though for dealing with ice, nothing beats that for traction when you need it to get unstuck or pulling someone else out. My driveway and walkways get a good dose of ashes anytime we get freezing rain, makes it like walking on pavement.

Agree. We have a Honda Pilot AWD and a Ram 1500 4×4. Slugging through mud, sand or deep snow, the Ram wins every time...locking differential and gobs of V8 torque... but on an icy, slippery road the Honda with VTM-4 (torque vectoring) and Michelin X-Ice rubber handles like its on skates at any speed.

That whole program is absolutely ridiculous...5.56mm you can't have, but .223 is good...exact same cartridge...just a different looking ("menacing" in their opinion) piece of steel and composite that's chambered for it in a lot of cases.

Haha. A 6mm will take care of them, I've shot ground hogs at 350 yards and farther with mine. I'm anxious to take my 300 Weatherby mag out next time.

The latest ban got those on the right, except the Colt revolver
