Cormorant on a cedar plank, grill , throw away the cormorant and eat the plank

I thought being Migratory Birds they are Federally Protected under an International Treaty, I would think the provinces hands would be tied on this matter.

My wife is the bigger sports fan here, I just agree with her

Ontario to spend $7-billion on sweeping climate change plan
dave524 replied to fishnsled's topic in General Discussion
Yes a lot of garbage science and propaganda on both sides of the discussion, look hard enough and you can find so called facts to back up just about any position you take. The indisputable fact remains that the earth has relatively just finished coming out of an ice age and whether or not there is human activity on the planet it is going to get warmer due to a lot of forces, most of which we have no control over. Local fossilized remains vividly show us that it was a hell of a lot warmer here than it is now and eventually will probably again. I think trying to micromanage the climate for the brief blip that we and our kids and grand kids are on the planet is an exercise in futility. -
Not saying the Raptors should have beat the Cavs with their inconsistent play, but it's again looking like the Warriors vs the Cavs and Refs much like our series gave the impression of the Raptors vs the Cavs and Refs. Don't know if LeBron will get MVP but should definitely get an Academy Award for acting, watching his play he's lost a lot of my respect, flop artist. Edit: don't they have a technical foul for embellishment ?

You might like to know that a lot of legal 5 round mags in Canada are simply 20 or 30 round mag with a pop rivet reducing capacity to 5, you are on a honour system to not drill out the rivet or you are instantly a criminal, actual criminals don't think twice about removing them. Kinda like the three shot plug on a shotgun for migratory birds.

Yup, my go to weight was a plain , unpainted lead, traditional, 12 pound lead cannonball with a stub of a fin.

The fanatics at Greenpeace don't seem to be onboard, pay particular attention starting at the 11 minute mark edit: It appears the earth will get a hell of a lot warmer over the next thousands of years and here we are trying to micro manage the next 100 years for our children and grankids. I can't believe man is so vain that he believe he has control over many factors like solar activity, polar shift and even the earth's orbit, going to happen no matter how much money we throw/waste at it, we are coming out of an ice age , it's going to get warmer DUH -
what song are you listening to right now???

eat your heart out Robert Plant, this is how you sing it. -
Ever go to the lake south of it ? Dad and I would paddle along the south shore of Beanpole to a marked portage and haul the canoe a short distance to another lake, it had Specs in it

Basically a clip is a speedloader device to charge a magazine, be it detachable magazine like a Lee Enfield or built in one like a Garand.

He shouldn't have been able to, the only fact that he was able to is that the system , particularly the FBI dropped the ball bigtime.

Don'tcha know all black rifles are AR 15's unless it has a curved mag and then it is an AK 47

I know it's probably not , but the bows and the description on the trip in sound identical to Beanpole Lake, off the hydrolines that run north of Haliburton Lake. Good memories of that one.

What do you need a brake on a 5.56mm firearm for? You should just slip a maxipad under your bra strap to dampen the hellish recoil.

Full autos were collectible here as well until the late 70's , the guys that had them were grandfathered and allowed to keep them but no new collectors and they are now all getting a little long in the tooth. Public opinion and acceptance of firearms varies widely here depending on age, province and whether urban or rural. Guess it is the same there, there are probably places that people don't even look twice at open carry. Art here is an example that you might be interested in, maybe a good price with the exchange rate, seems you have a thing for 50's . This is at a Canadian Tire in Alberta, in Toronto a lot of CTC customers would probably wet themselves if they saw this on the rack.

Maybe you mean Sharon Gun Club, that is a real swank place I believe you have buy a share to be a member there and they rarely come available and when they do you'd have to take out a second mortgage on the house to pay for it. The upside is you get to rub elbows with whose who in the GTA, Edit: actually not as bad as I thought, but this is what some one is offering not what the asking price is http://www.kijiji.ca/b-gta-greater-toronto-area/sharon-gun-club-share/k0l1700272

Tell me about it, shot all 4 gauges of skeet back in the 70's early 80's, had a bench with Mec 600 loaders in 12, 20, 28 and .410. There was a real saving in loading your own back then, when I got my first 12 gauge loader it was 1967 and Red Dot powder was $3 a pound and shot $7 for a 25 pound bag, now there is no savings in target loads if you buy a case. The examples I gave earlier were actual hunting situations.

A few times I pretty much went through a caseguard of 60 .220 Swift rounds groundhog shooting and way back when you could still go to the dump ( don't think the term sanitary land fill site had been invented yet ) and shoot rats I'm sure I've gone through a couple of boxes of 50 22 Long Rifle hollowpoints.

Picked up something new for bass season

about 90% of my topwater baits ( we called them plugs way back when ) were BLACK, especially fishing in the evening. -

Topwater bass, you could probably thread a chunk of hotdog on one of those double hooks and if you retrieved it right with a few pauses and twitches and catch just as many fish. -
The Ruger 10-22 is still just a 22 rimfire in either configuration, pretty much a rabbit and squirrel gun if you are a hunter, nothing military about it cartridge wise. The AR-15 is the hunting version of the M-16/ C-7 rifle, I've hunted with one as well as the Ruger Mini 14 , with 20 round mags and scopes on both, great coyote rifles. This was before our own home bred terrorist , Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi, unleashed his own anti feminist attack on female engineering students back in 89 , and the AR became a restricted weapon, no longer allowed in the field and we were saddled with 5 round mags for centre fire semi autos. Edit: looks like Carey Price agrees with me, I assume this pic was taken stateside

As a kid, every rural hardware store had a rack of Cooey single shot shotguns , made in Cobourg and Lakefield .22's made in , you guessed it , Lakefield Ontario. Also the shelves had Canadian Industries Ltd. shotgun shells marketed under the names "Canuck and Imperial ", centrefire ammo under the brand name " Dominion " and 22 rimfire under the brands " SuperClean and WhizBang ". For a while Ithaca had a plant in Dunnville and I believe Crossman airguns had a facility there as well. All gone now.
