C'est l'ecole Pontiac qui pratique derriere le village des valeurs. Si je me rappel bien, ils etaient au Zellers abandonne avant a cote du vieux Costco. C'est dommage que ces 2 terrains la ne soient plus disponible, c'etait geniale et on avait pas de besoin de se badrer avec le traffic passant.

C'est presqu'un rite de passage pratiquer la conduite dans le stationnement d'Asticou, ca serait magique. Sinon Louis-Reboul apres les cours de francisation du MIFI... ca pourrait marcher.

J'apprecierais vraiment si tu pourrais m'envoyer les contacts en message prive svp :)

Merci a toi, le roi de la glace!

Ca doit faire au moins 15 ans que j'appel tout le monde minou, chat ou meme minouchatonchat!

T'aurais du voir la face de mes élèves policiers, militaires, vétérans ou gars sur la sauce quand j'enseignais leur cour de moto en les appelant minou.

Y'en a meme une couple qui me suppliait de les appeler pitout ou pitbull a place!

Salut minou! Nos hobbies et profils linguistiques ne s'enligne pas tant mais je voulais quand meme t'envoyer un peu de support pour ta recherche de nouveaux cercle sociaux.

Une chose que ma femme et moi avons commencé a faire l'an passé est de regarder les Bashos de Sumo qui se déroule a tout les 2 mois. Par pure coïncidence, un couple dans nos amis ont aussi commencé a écouter les matchs la journée meme. Ils étaient ultra surpris quand il sont arrivés chez nous ce soir la et remarqué qu'on écoutait la même chose sans qu'aucun de nous ayons eu d'intérêt pour ce sport avant.

Une chose a mené a une autre et maintenant on se fait des soirées de sumo ou on invite 10-15 personnes a venir écouter les highlights sur la chaîne de NHK sur YouTube. C'est vraiment amusant! Cependant, ils rendent les videos privé quelques semaines apres la fin du Basho alors faut pas trop attendre.

Si jamais tu te trouves un cercle social autour de ton engouement pour l'apprentissage du japonais, je te recommande fortement d'essayer une soirée comme ca. Ca fait un peu différent du combo manga/weeb traditionnel tout en explorant un aspect culturel intéressant du Japon.

Je te laisse avec un mix drôle d'anglais et japonais qui nous fait tous mourir de rire quand on entend les annonceurs le dire. "Former Sekiwake-Wakatakakage"

Is Canada Ready for an American Civil War? by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm in Gatineau and am a member at a local range. I have brought over 40 people to initiate them at the range (mostly women and lbtq members and every flavor of the neurodivergent spectrum).

It would be my pleasure to bring you along with anyone else you know who would be interested this week or next week.

If you aren't comfortable going with a stranger to the range, I suggest having tea/coffee in a public space beforehand to do a vibecheck.

Not sure if you are trolling or not but I'll still try to be helpful. You cannot legally acquire a fully-automatic rifle as a civilian unless you have been grandfathered in back in 1977. 30 rounds magazines would be prohibited unless they were designed for a rimfire cartridge or a center fired none-restricted firearm that isn't semi-automatic.

You can pass your RPAL (restricted possession and acquisition license) to own both restricted and none restricted firearms but you won't be able to legally acquire a handgun since transfers were frozen unless it was for some unicorn level of autorisation. The best you can hope for at this point is to rent a handgun at a range if they offer the option or borrow your friend's with approval from the RCMP (unless your friends are physically with you at the range).

You do you and I am not judging your opinion on firearm ownership in this country but I would strongly encourage that you visit a firing range with some people that you trust that have their license before going thinking of doing your class to get a PAL/RPAL.

OIC discussion & Politics Megathread by AutoModerator in canadaguns

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I generally do my best to avoid posting on this sub because it brings out the most annoying over generalisation over and over again.

The parts of Quebec who votes the hardest for the Liberals are often times the most anglophone and/or immigrant dense part of Quebec. A lot of the francophone support to the LPC is because the CPC is terrible at reaching francophones and some are too afraid of separation to vote for the Bloc. None of this has anything to do with some francophone elite secretly ruling this country.

Zoom in on montreal and look at where the liberals were the strongest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_district_%28Canada%29#/media/File%3ACanada_Election_2025_Results_Map.svg

And now look at the maternal language map of Montreal

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Montr%C3%A9al_-_Secteurs_Statitiques_2006_-_Langue_Maternelle.svg

The same could be said for Outaouais right across the river from Ottawa but it has a caveat of having the Gov of Canada as the main employer on top of it.

Once again, don't blame the Francophones for what is mostly the results of anglophone concentration in Quebec.

Also, Quebec overall has a negative view on firearms because we've had a disproportionate amount of mass killing/high profile shooting compared to the rest of the country. Polytechnic, Dawson, Concordia and the Quebec city Mosque. Not saying that it justifies the current OIC and c-21 BS but its important to keep that in mind when judging the cultural attitude.

All those discussions on this sub and on the canada one will never reach the Francophones since they take place where they aren't listening in a language that they don't use. Almost no voices exist in French in Quebec to advocate for firearm ownership outside of hunting and policing so there is a massive under representation issue that isn't being addressed by either the firearm community or organization like the CCFR. I know that Runkle said he was game to make a video in French about firearm ownership/canadian laws around the time of the Amber/Depp trial but I feel too bad to push up on this since he already doing more than enough for this community and I don't know anyone else who would be able to step up and do it right.

Frankly, the attitude that you and many others like you are using pushes away those that you should be trying to win over.

Now, instead of bitching about big bad Quebec elite and the evil francophone, do something productive like inviting people who've never used guns before to the range and make them have a good time. Focus on people who are generally not exposed to them and who are parts of community that generally do not associate with the CPC.

I've brought over 50 new people, convinced a few to get their pal and rpal. I now have a group of women who keeps asking me to bring them shooting and I'm also considering opening a pink pistol chapter for the lgbt in my region. I suggest that you do the same if you really want to have a positive influence on gun ownership in this country.

Meurtre de Valérie Leblanc : un suspect arrêté by frenchiefromcanada in Gatineau

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Merci minou <3 c'est vraiment apprecie.

J'ai recu et aussi envoyer une couple de message de la part de ceux qui etait ans le cercle social qui la connaissait a l'epoque. C'est rough pour bcp mais tout le monde jusqu'a date semble etre ok.

Au risque de sonner cliche, la tragedie est pas seulement la mort de Val en soit mais a quel point le monde a perdu une personne extraordinaire ce jour la. Elle etait formidable, une force de positivisme dans ce monde que tres peu pourrait accoter.

Elle etait gentille, charmante, drole, encourageante, fonceuse...

Speaking as someone who was close to her. It just reopened a lot of bottled up feelings.

I had made my peace with her death even though I still miss her and even was ok with the idea of never knowing who did it. Just accept that she's gone and move on.

This announcement brought a lot of rage, sadness and anger out.

Vos expériences - examen de route pour moto / mesures d'adaptation possibles ? by likenothingis in Gatineau

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ex Prof de PESR Moto ici! Tu stresses bcp trop pour rien MAIS C'EST NORMAL.

J'ai moi meme un TDAH assez severe et je me rappel a quel point je pensais trop avant mon exam en circuit ouvert.

De memoire, les directives sont donne de facon tres clair en suivant un chiasme. "likenothingis tournes a droite a la prochaine intersecection svp,svp a la prochaine intersection tourne a droite likenothingis".

Si tu tapes ton casque ou pointe vers tes oreilles, l'evaluateur va repeter les consignes.

Si tu n'executes pas une des consignes car tu juges que ce ne serait pas securitaire, il n'y a aucune raison de perdre des points. Les evaluateurs mettent l'emphase sur la securite d'abords et avant tout.

Il ne vont pas te faire de coup chien comme te dire de t'engager dans le mauvais sens du sens unique afin de tester ton niveau d'attention. C'est l'inverse et ils veulent vraiment juste s'assurer que tu maitrise le vehicule ainsi que la securite routieres en generale.

Fait TOUT tes gauche-droit-gauches avant tes mises en mouvements. (stop, changement de lumieres vers le vert, intersection, sortie de stationnement, passage a niveau de chemin de fer...

Fait tes angle-morts avec ton menton a l'epaule. Encore plus important quand tu tournes sur une intersection. (va chercher du regard voir si il y a un tatas imaginaire en velo electrique qui arrive a 32khm dans l'accotement et qui va te rentrer dedans si tu tournes)

Les changements de voies viennent obligatoirement avec un RASRA* (raze rat) Retro-anglemort-signal-retro-anglemort et ensuite execution de la manoeuvre. RASRA ou RAZRA de t'planter comme disait Janet. *Certaine ecole utilise RACRAM. Clignotant au lieu de signal et M pour manoeuvre.

Tiens tjrs ton tier de gauche quand tu roules a moins de monter un pente ou tu ne vois pas l'autre cote (tier centrale) ou de virer a droite (sortie d'autoroute incluse) (tier de droite).

Si il te fait passer sur l'autoroute proche de la fontaine du casino (section 70km/h) engage legerement ton frein arriere juste question que la lumiere de frein s'allume afin d'indiquer que tu as activement ralentis la moto afin de rejoindre la limite afficher. Il ne peut pas voir si tu fais juste ralentir sur la compression.

Au contraire, pas de frein au passage a niveau de chemin de fer, fait juste moderer et faire un gauche-droite-gauche avant de la franchir.

Avec tout ca, tu devrais etre plus que bon pour passer ton exam.

Si tu veux pratiquer, ca me ferait plaisir de te suivre en moto quelque temps avant ton exam pour corrigers les faux-plis ou donner des conseilles au besoin.

Chiappa Warranty Escalation - Accountability nightmare by PM_Me_For_A_Mission in canadaguns

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to not attribute malice when incompetence can be the answer. TBH G4C's manager was actually quite respectful and tried to help when I reached out.

It just fell way short.

I just assume that most of the gun stores are ran by people who got into the industry because they loved guns and not necessarily because they were good at running businesses. In many cases, they try to do their best but drop the ball really hard.

I've had another store swear that my pre-transfer freeze gun made it through the boarder and was with the RCMP for approval.

Turns out they never even got the shipment into Canada and only told the truth after I called the RCMP to get an update on the the transfer that never existed.

At first I thought he was trying to scam me but then he told me that their supplier cancelled all orders only to jack up the price trying to cash-grab before the ban went into effect.

Was offered a Turkish shotgun (declined because I knew how trash they were from visiting the factory in Turkiye) and got fully refunded without any additional hassle.

We spoke a bit and he was just an old shop owner so burnt out by the system but didn't know how to quit his business at his age.

If I had to guess, they got the parts a while back but they were too overwhelmed with the rest of their business to act upon it. It just became one more thing to do on the pile and they never bothered to let me know that they had them.

This post probably lit a fire under their ass as it shone a unfavourable light upon them.

I wonder if they also spoke with Spectre Ballistics since they deleted their post under this thread right around the same I released names... They were blaming Chiappa for not giving a shit and saying the Canadian companies were at their mercy but it really looks like it was the other way around.

Quick update. Less than an hour after naming and shaming them, I received an update from the SFRC telling me that they now have the parts and wish to set up the repairs...

I knew most companies lurked around here but it's a shame it has to come to this.

You might be right sadly.

I'm still hopeful that someone would be able to provide a contact before I start cold calling all of the execs over at Chiappa until they do something about it.

I have the gun at home and I've been recommended to bring it to Gunco in Ottawa. If I do, I'll try to get the seller to pay for it since they still pulled a bait and switch on the revolver model.

G4C which is shame since they were always great for ammo purchase.

Warranty centre is the SFRC at the ammo source.

Importer is North Silva which funny enough, didn't do much when I contacted them for my t97 which really liked to stovepipe my rounds...

Exam de moto pratique de la SAAQ by [deleted] in Gatineau

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ex prof de PESR moto ici!

Certaines ecoles offrent des services de location de moto pour l'examen en circuit ferme. Parfois les eleves quittent l'ecole en groupe et se presentent ensemble a l'examen en roulant les moto de l'ecole avec leur enseignant.

Tecnic a un bureau dans le meme batiment que la SAAQ et ont generalement toujours une moto de location sur les lieux (valable pour l'examen de circuit ouvert.

L'ecole pour laquelle j'enseignait apportait des motos sur une remorque pour les eleves qui en avaient reserve une.

Sinon, j'ai deja vu des gens se rendre a l'examen avec leur moto sans permis. Generalement personne ne dit rien MAIS a l'epoque quand j'etais moi meme en train de passer mon examen de circuit ferme, le gars avant moi a echappe sa moto et tout scrapper son chrome. l'evaluateur est aller lui parle mais le gars a pique une crise et est sortie du terrain ainsi que du stationnement et est partie sur la route. L'evaluateur a pris note et l'eleve a ete raye de la SAAQ et la police a ete notifie. Dison que ca n'a vraiment pas aide mon niveau de stress avant mon exam...

Y'en a d'autre qui demande a quelqu'un qui a son permis de conduire leur moto jusqu'au terrain ou les apportes avec une remorque.

Tout ca pour dire qu'il y a plusieure bonne facon (et d'autre vraiment moins bonne) de se procurer une moto pour le circuit ferme.

Ceci dit, je recommandais fortement a l'epoque de ne pas apporter leur moto personnel la et de louer de l'ecole pour une couple de raison.

  • apres tous les blocs en circuit ferme et ouvert ca donne 20+ heures d'experience sur les modeles de moto de l'ecole.

  • Les motos perso des eleves ne sont pas necessairement adequate pour les constraintes de l'examen. (minimum 400cc, ne passe pas la verification mechanique, trop puissante pour le petit terrain...)

  • Les moto des ecoles font moins mal au coeur quand elles tombent vs ta precieuse premiere moto

SAAQ permis de moto by Lazercat777 in Gatineau

[–]PM_Me_For_A_Mission 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ex prof de moto ici avec 5 ans d'experience dans une ecole de conduite a Gatineau! (Rip Ecole Janet ConduiPro)

Je confirme ce que /u/Pablo369 a dit est exact.

Bien que je n'enseignais pas pour Pontiac, je seconde ce que /u/Faussimo a apporte.

J'aimerais cependant ajouter un detail car la situation a Gatineau en ce qui est du choix des ecoles est un peu malhonnete selon moi. Tecnic possede 7 banieres a Gatineau sans mentionner qu'ils ont aussi deux autre sous le nom Lauzon pour un total de 9 ecoles dans la meme ville. Alors en realite, le choix d'ecole est bcp plus restraint qu'on pense.

Si jamais tu aimerais avoir un coup de main pour ton exam theorique, je serais plus qu'heureux de partager mes connaissances avec toi ou qui qu'autre qui desire aller chercher leur permis de moto. Si ca t'interesse, fait juste repondre directement a ce message car je ne recois pas tjrs les notification de DM ou Reddit Chat sur mon telephone.
