  Defending against the Neighborhood Bully And if he hadn't been spoiled by all those screaming "money is right, forget integrity " ...... I didn't write this and don't think I could have. It's very well done and now, thankfully, in the public domain. It is also right on the mark! David vs. Goliath: The U.S. Trade War on Canada And Who’s Really Winning For years, Canada and the U.S. had a sibling rivalry. Sure, we had our disputes, but at the end of the day, we worked together. But now? It’s less “friendly competition” and more "Goliath throwing a tantrum because David won’t just roll over.” The U.S. is picking fights, throwing tariff punches, and blaming literally everyone but itself for its problems. And Canada? We’re just standing here, taking the hits, shrugging, and quietly preparing to win the long game. Even while threats are made daily to our own sovereignty. For anyone who forgot: David won. Goliath’s Temper Tantrum: The U.S. Trade War on Canada ...

A list of Liberal Party Achievements? No, not really

  Hoe de doe, doe de doe A list of Liberal Party Achievements? No, not really  Here in Canada, there is talk of an election happening soon. Many are happy that there is a possibility of avoiding the funding of some highly questionable policies that should never be funded by the general population. There are many concerned that the country is already so far in debt that we can never recover from the escalating inflation. There are many who think the present government has done a good job in nine years. Even if they are less that thrilled with the present government established and maintained by a coalition, they are concerned that turning to the only viable option (No, the socialist option is never a viable option) they fear it will lead to the constant lies, destructive name calling, and totalitarian fascist actions witnessed within our neighbour to the south. Some are stating that Pierre Poilievre is simply “Trump north”. I don’t believe he is for two reasons. First, he...

Firearms in The Great Liquor War

Image
  The tools presented in GLW and Homesteader There are not many weapons specified in either “The Great Liquor War” or “Homesteader: Finding Sharon”. First, I’ll take a look at those mentioned specifically and then move on to those that would be probable. Hank James and most of those he dealt with carried the Colt Single Action Army also called the “New Army”, the “Peacemaker”, the “Frontier Single Six” and a host of other names derived from the depths of some super salesman’s imagination. It was designed for the US Army which called for a 7 ½” barrel and chambered for .45 Government. This was quickly followed by .44-40 which allowed the user to have one cartridge for both his Colt and his Winchester Model 1873. During its first production cycle of 68 years, the “Peacemaker” was available in a total of 27 calibers and in almost any barrel length imaginable including perhaps a half dozen with 12” barrels for Edward Judson, Jr. who wrote dime novels under the name Ned Buntline.

Write a Review!

  Write a Review! They're eating the dogs of the people who live in Springfield. Why is it you can’t find comprehensive information about events in the news. Why is it that news sources give us fantastic headlines but very few facts to support those wildly emotional headlines? It’s because of you. Yes, you. You didn’t write a review to the paper saying something like, “I really appreciated the information about that drug bust 6 blocks away from where I live. Because of it I was able to make efforts to keep my family safe.” Or perhaps it was, “Thanks for the story about the intersection at First and Main. We need to bring that up at council.” Because you didn’t support him/her they couldn’t make a living doing what nature has designed them for and they’re now a cashier at WalMart ………. Or driving a garbage truck. And now you can’t find out anything about what’s happening in your town/neighborhood/district. All you get is the sensationalism of headlines --- sometimes hav...
