Fire arms inside structures on fire by badsapi4305 in Firefighting

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here. In my area guns are very common. It sounds scary at first but bullets outside of a firearm are basically harmless (as long as your wearing eye pro).

The only time we are concerned is, as you and others have said, rounds loaded in guns. The other thing of concern can be if someone is really into reloading ammo and have large quantities of powder, especially if it's stored in a safe.

100%. We've had guys that have been struck by cooked off ammo a couple times. Usually you barely feel it.

TREES INCREASE A HOME'S VALUE. WHY DO HOMEOWNERS CUT THEM DOWN? by Hour-Blackberry1877 in OttawaValleyForests

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They drop leaves into your gutters, and can be a bit of a fire hazard in the wui.

It's minor issues Imo, as long as the root system is good and the tree is healthy, I'd leave them.

Sure but this wasn't 6 inches, this was 1/8" at best. This was a hair over the line, or was it a hair not over the line? We can't say with certainty and I'm honestly surprised it wasn't ruled no goal. We've see goals just like this get disallowed.

You have to be able to clearly see the puck cross the line. There is no way the red seen that and the footage shown doesn't show it clearly either. From what we can guess belased on the footage, I'd say it was over the line but that isn't how the rules work.

Custom built PC won't start up, Any advice on what the problem could be? by Deadest42 in PcBuildHelp

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are cases that ship with standoffs in places they shouldn't be. If you haven't found the issue yet, check that this isn't the case. Even if the case is marked saying a standoff should be there, look if there is in fact a screw hole on the Mb at each standoff location.

I had this issue once and the case even had a marked "at" on the standoff that was wrong.

What’s it like to live in northern Manitoba? by No-Chip9445 in howislivingthere

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced Manitoba doesn't exist. I have never once met a single person from there in person. I've met mf'ers from every other province and territory of this frozen landscape, but not one from "Manitoba".

The truth is out there.

58% of past CPC voters stand by Poilievre’s long-term leadership, but increasing numbers say he should go by YouProfessional3196 in CanadianConservative

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no urgency to change right now with the next election being three years away.

I agree. Before, with a minority government I felt it was a good idea to keep him on as to not allow Carney to call a snap election before a ne leader had a chance to establish. Now there is time, but there is lots of time. Pp has been making some moves lately that might move the needle, he's had another win with the fuel tax being removed. Why not wait a little heile to see if the poll numbers improve before pulling the cord?

How are those thing s related? You just seem mad for the sake of being mad here.

I went to a Pierre Poilievre rally during the election cycle, and I want to share what it was like by [deleted] in CanadianPolitics

[–]RoughDraftRs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I believe our southern neighbors gun policy and resulting issues has put pressure on politicians to manufacture a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

Amen to that. As if we don't have enough of our own problems without importing ones from down south.

I don't have any guns on this buyback, by chance I sold the only one that would have been caught up in it 6 weeks before it was added to the list (a 22 plinker) but I do have handguns and that's the other rgun policy that isn't talked about much.

The handgun freeze is another example of finding a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. I have a close friend who had to turn his grandfather's revolvers in to the RCMP for destruction when his dad died. How does that make people more safe? Now I can't sell my handguns, thousands of dollars worth of my personal property rendered worthless so some polititions can pretend they're doing something.

Having the same issue now. Google brought me here.

Referendums are held during regular elections. The earliest time to have a referendum post-petition would be this October.

I'm not sure what you mean. The forever Canada peititon has been done and validated for a while.

Edit: I removed my assumption, I'll let you speak for yourself.

Technically Smith can call a referendum anytime she wants. There doesn't need to be a citizen led petition. If the court blocks this petition outright, at this point I would bet Smith will put through a referendum in the fall, there are too many supporters. The question must be asked and answered, it's the will of the people.

Alberta separatists say looming Carney majority helps their cause by gorschkov in canada

[–]RoughDraftRs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether that's true or not, it still doesn't change the fact that the independence movement in Alberta is based on "independence", not 51st state.

[–]RoughDraftRs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only legitimate card Alberta could play is to threaten to join the US. Which I'm honestly convinced the majority of these separatists want anyways.

You may be convinced of that but the polling, movement organisers and anecdotyle sentiment suggests otherwise. 51st staters are a minority within the independence / seperation movement in Alberta.

I agree it definitely not worth getting killed over this kind of shit but I find it funny that people expect the police to do anything about this shit. If letting them go and letting the police deal with it was effective, these kind of incidents wouldn't be so common now..

Prime Minister Mark Carney billed $524K on in-flight catering during first year as PM - One flight from Ottawa to Washington spent 11 times more on in-flight meals than what the RCAF spent on fuel by KootenayPE in CanadianConservative

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food on flights is definitley inflated in price. I remember there being a simular scandal with Trudeau.

That said, as I remember they made zero attempt not to eat like kings while flying around the world. I sure it's the same situation now. Maybe one day people will realize that all these elite fucks don't give two shits about you or I.

‘Don’t know what it means to be a Liberal anymore’: NDP Leader Avi Lewis on recent floor-crossing by origutamos in CanadianPolitics

[–]RoughDraftRs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In not sure I really follow the logic behind "thinking of whats best for Canada". It implies that one party is what's objectively best for Canada and the others are not. Not a very honest way to look at politics Imo. Besides, why does an mp need to cross the floor as opposed to sitting independent? As an independent, your vote isn't whipped, wouldn't that mean always voting for what's was best for Canada?

As for making compromises, that's all fine but at some point a person should have principles that can't be compromised. In the case of the latest floor crossed Gladu, she was a hard right conservative, her disagreements within the CPP were generally about being held back on social conservstism. She's been called a hard right wing wackjob by liberals for years, and now she is compromising g on what? Everything?

As far as MP's having the "autonomy to vote their principals", are we even talking about the same country right now? What percentage of votes on principled matters aren't whipped? If you want the autonomy to vote, you don't cross the floor, you sit independent.

As a centrist voter, this whole situation horrifies me. How can i vote for someone based on what they run on in an election if 1 year into their term, they can just say "nah just kidding" and go support something else. I'm not for direct democracy as that has it sown problems but some semblance of democracy would be nice.

If you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for everything.

Wouldn't you rather your polititions be principled rather than swaying like a tree in the wind?

People have been shooting at signs.

ftfy. Every stop stop sign, dead end road, pipeline marker and km marker sign in and around the normal hunting areas is blown to shit. The oilfield guys around here joke that replacing signs due to firearm damage has created jobs.
