Remembering trips on the Heritage Highway


I just found – through some help on FB – a link to some great videos of the country around Tumbler Ridge, BC.
A couple of years ago I was going up there once a week or more but now don’t get up there much at all. These pictures will give you some idea of why I enjoyed the trip and why I elect to be in this country.

A Black Day For Gerald Stanley

Image
I have posted in several places and on several occasions that I find it disgusting that those who commit crimes against people and society are turned into celebrities by the “traditional” media and the victims are seldom mentioned. I think it should be handled the other way around. The victims should always be mentioned and those who have committed the initial crime which created the problem should be mentioned as seldom as possible. Yet six weeks after we received information about actual events we are still getting the wrong information from the “traditional” media. Perhaps the “traditional” media are continuing their biased, unfair coverage of the Stanley trial because they realize that they, as much as anyone else are responsible for what happened. If the five people in the SUV from Red Pheasant First Nation had any idea that they where responsible for their own actions and subject to the consequences of those actions, perhaps they would not have acted as they did. Howev...

It just doesn't work!

Here are 4 versions of the US armed forces M16 They are very much assault rifles Above the rear hand grip is a lever for adjusting the rate of fire Including fully automatic or continuous fire Standard caliber has been 5.56 MM (.223 caliber) Although recently larger calibers have been made available. This is a Colt AR-15 with a standard clip, and laser sights It fires only as a semi-automatic or a single discharge for each trigger pull This IS NOT an assault rifle.  This one is in .223 caliber but other calibers are available in similar looking weapons from a variety of manufacturers  This weapon IS NOT legal in Canada due to the number of rounds the clip will hold. There will be more comparison pictures at the end of this article. Apparently firearms are doing a number of things they never did when I was still using them. I have often lamented the circumstances that make it difficult and usually impossible to do any type of shooting any more b...

Children Managing the Asylum

Image
            Apparently our “managers” can’t act like adults. Perhaps some guidelines will help them? I actually doubt it but I put the information out there. Perhaps it will help them and should it not, should they continue as is, nothing is lost. I doubt it could get worse but then the two “managers” I’m referring to do continue to surprise with stupidity. So how did it happen that the children are running the world? Should we not expect those who set themselves up as management to set a good - and therefore repeatable - example? In other words to “manage” as they claimed they would do. Perhaps they could even work at avoiding repeat attacks on our society.             When they sought our support to attain their management positions they claimed to be able to increase prosperity. In order to do that international trade and thus national business must improve. Instead these so call...
