Still a long road to go. And they didn't exactly propose a 0-0 policy. They proposed a 0-0 policy on industrial manufactured goods. One of the biggest challenges with Europe has been their protections around agriculture. That is where I think the rubber will meet the road.

China is very different, socially, culturally and historically than Russia/USSR. I don't think you can forecast their outcome based on the USSR's experience. While not an economist I do spend a lot of time with people in that and related fields, some of whom have published a great deal about...

I don't see China at risk of falling at all. They run a single party, command economy, and repressive state. They are far built to suffer "pain" and keep functioning better than any rich nation democracy.

I love my 555. Great bang for the buck.

Counting the days until the annual boys turkey hunt get away. I have always found turkey hunting a great way to introduce new hunters to the sport. Our group this year will include three new hunters ranging from ages 28 to 68.

I have been told there is a mathematical model that describes the correct number of firearms one should own. Apparently it is expressed as follows: C=x+1 or y-1 Where C is the correct number of firearms X is your current number of guns Y is the number of guns that will cause your spouse to...

Won't bore you with the long story behind it, but I am a rusty nail guy through and through.

Can't wait to hear all about it. Also, that is one nice bear in your avatar!

Thanks for th I am in Toronto, so pretty close to the middle. I may have to look into that, I think you are right about the memories attached to the rifle. Plus it means adding at least one more to the collection!

1. The amount of illegals and drugs entering from Canada is miniscule. 2. This is nonsensical. If there are goods you say should not be in your country stop them from entering. Since when is that someone else's job? 3. Canada is open to American banks. 4. We spend way too little on...

On the defense issue, you are correct. On the trade issue...

This is actually an interesting issue if you think about it for a couple of minutes. America is the consuming nation where all the money is. It kind of begs the question: Why don't foreign companies build their plants there in the first place? Why did Honda and Toyota build plants in...

It is so weird that Trump has been trying to work this out with Canada and Mexico for over a year, since he only has been in office since January. Please help me understand just who he was communicating with in the Canadian government to work this out with? It's also so weird that steel and...

I have many relatives and good friends in Michigan. Great state. I will be renting the rifles I need. The operator tells me he has a vide variety of classic and modern rifles to choose from depending on what I might enjoy.

Pleased to be able to join and feeling good about seeing so many fellow Canadians here. Long time hunter in Canada (bear is my favourite but if it is legal I will hunt it). Just booked my first hunt in Africa for Sept of 2026 to fulfill a dream of harvesting a Cape Buffalo. Have already been...
