  1. Canada will not be broken by a senseless cowardly act like this. To any would be terrorists out there. Canada is strong. Our people are strong. We are strong because we are diverse. We are not "tolerant" of others beliefs we are understanding and accepting. Tolerance is a last resort to keep from killing eachother. We don't always get along even amongst the closest of pals but you bet we will stand on guard for thee. Thousands of strangers lined on highways is a testament to that. You want to break us? You will fail. ISIS is not welcome in Canada nor any other terrorist organization.

    To my fellow anglers think of understanding and acceptance over tolerance. we all have different histories and experiences, different beliefs, God or Darwin, jig versus drop shot, crank versus spinner, troll or cast, carp or musky we should be practicing more acceptance and understanding here and in our daily lives.

    Off my soap box.

    ISIS to Canadians: 'You will not feel safe in your bedrooms'
    September 22, 2014 9:32 am

     

    The spokesman for the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham called for attacks on Canadians on Sunday in an apparent attempt to deter members of the military alliance that has formed to challenge the terrorist group.

    In a 42-minute audio speech, Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani urged ISIS supporters to kill Canadians, Americans, Australians, French and other Europeans, regardless of whether they were civilians or members of the military.

  3. This is a response from a few pages back but...

    I was a reservist for 7 years and whenever we were out in public we were never issued live ammunition. It was done like that to appease the liberals fear of our military having real bullets in public. We did carry blanks though. Usually only issued 5 blanks per person and a bayonette. Of course things could have changed in the last 15 years but who knows.

     

    Would it have mattered realistically if he had of had a 30 round magazine of ball ammo with one stuffed down the chamber? I really don't know. I wasn't there. I am not saying he shouldn't have had real ammo. I just don't know if it would have made a difference. One thing that I do find VERY disturbing is that he was alone. A single soldier in public is a very easy target and is very vulnerable. Especially given they don't have live ammunition. If there was two soldiers with ammunition. Its possible this would have never happened to begin with and if so something could possibly have been done right at that moment. Even if all it was that first aid be applied immediately. Everyone in the armed forced in Canada undergoes emergency battle first aid that could have been applied seconds after.

    Of course there are many flipsides to this like, a gun fight in the streets between the second soldier possibly injuring others, or having two soldiers down. One thing I can say for certain, neither myself nor ANY Canadian soldier I know or knew would not have given up anything in the world to have been there standing beside him even if they fully knew this would happen and there life could have also been taken.

  4. Real fans stick by there team win or lose, suck or be awesome. Right now there record sucks. all what 6 games of the season? There is no doubting that. I will watch from the other side of the country and moving to another city will not change my allegiance. Unlike some other fickle fans.

  5. Nice I have often wanted to make some knives. Keep us updated on how it goes. I have really enjoyed having the radial arm saw. I got a great deal on one in pristine condition. Makes doing repeated cuts a breeze. They do have there dangers though as far as tools go. I much prefer it over my compound mitre.

  6. Just thought I would drop in here and see if anyone else partakes in woodworking. Drop your photos, it may give others some ideas of what project to tackle next.

     

    Here is a set of Muskoka chairs I built a few weeks ago. Hopefully will get around to make the matching foot stool and side table. Western Red Cedar, used some pictures and plans but ended up with a bunch of changes. I used 5/4 x6 for all the structural pieces as well as 1x2 for the slats

     

    I guess I should add a few in between steps.

     

    I was originally told Muskoka chairs aren't comfortable so I told her to come down and help me make a custome template for seating portion...

    A shot of our picnic table out back. This is 2x6 for the table top, 2x4's for the rest. The legs are 4x4's all made from western red cedar.

     

    A better shot of the table..

  7. Having been in BC now for several months the funniest commentary was on the radio. The sportscaster went off the shelf towards sportsnet for not giving enough coverage of the canucks game. It was the "local" version and right after the game they did one canucks interview and then spent 10 minutes on the leafs game and 15 minutes on the new sportsnet studio. the guy was fuming. He said no one cares about he leafs in the pacific time. and its already midnight local to eastern time. So of course I called in after his tirade and luckily I was the first on air. I asked him what his thoughts were on the new Leafs this year and how does he think they stack up in the east.

     

     

     

     

    They hung up. For real. It was awesome.
