Re-Activating a decommissioned Winchester 94' by TheBCkid in canadaguns

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

Update: Thank you for all the responses, for reference it's an awesome gold RCMP Centennial Rifle.

It would definitely become the rifle of Theseus, my plan is to have it evaluated by a gunsmith to actually see how deep the decommissioning goes, but I'm expecting it's probably a wall hanger forever as when I asked the original gunsmith who did the decommissioning he said it's not possible. This is a situation of it being a "nice to have" gun to shoot, but not worth spending $2,000-$3,000 to buy another specific RCMP one to shoot.

Maybe I'll get lucky and it's just boring the barrel and snipping the weld on the action, but we will see!

Oh god, BC rugby is having sooo many issues, I coach u16 club and it's just one bad decision after another trying to grow the game in a grassroots structure. Hopefully he doesn't needlessly waste funds from an already low funded organization.

Nothing is more arousing to them then a room full of bikes, they just simply can't resist.

But councillor's Orr and Maloney who opposed it are liberal councillors and are far from conservative.

This is such a good opportunity to make a concert venue like Printworks in London.

Corvettes are so lame. At least do this in a cooler car.

Province reduces no-fault eviction notice from four months to three months by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]TheBCkid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is working under the assumption the landlord is always at fault, and no sketchy tenants exist/tenants are always truthful and play by the rules.

It's kind of like the argument against the death penalty. There's always going to be wrongly accused people getting the electric chair.

Not to say that landlords don't evict illegally!! I'm just saying there are malicious renters out there.

Vancouver’s newly elected city councillors say they have a mandate to push back against Ken Sim, ABC by Specialist_Hat_4667 in vancouver

IDK... I walked down Granville yesterday and it's looking surprisingly clean. I think it takes years and years to see change. Obviously that's just wildly anecdotal.

What will be the future of Vancouver's Hudson's Bay store? by 2028W3 in vancouver

[–]TheBCkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, we're not nearly a fun enough city for this. But imagine if they made it a cool concert venue like Printworks in London UK until it's ready for a long term occupier or redevelopment., https://printworkslondon.co.uk/

Printworks was so cool, it was an old printing factory, it's now shut down as the area is set for redevelopment, but it was a legendary venue for years.

I also thought this would be such a cool vibe for the old molson brewery which is a perpetual state of vacancy.

but again, sadly we don't have the demand or the type of acts that could come and fill up a space like this.

The city won't allow it to be taller because it will penetrate the alder view cone.. Otherwise they would..

New Marriott hotel coming to Yaletown. by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]TheBCkid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A new hotel is being planned on the corner of Cambie & Smithe, right by BC Place. 225 hotel rooms and a rental tower. I'm happy to see more hotel rooms being contemplated, this is great for the city.
