It seems like a massive overreaction, TBH. If it was an MP where an HE was the expectation then I don't see how it would enter into it at all. If it was a full service MP then even so if that was a concern presumably her mouth of her hands were clean enough for the job. There didn't really seem...

This is not strictly speaking true, I'm afraid. There have been 3 mass shootings so far this year in Canada. Still much, much less than in the U.S., but we don't go years between them. Canada averages about 3 per year. Also, the ammo capacity may or may not be relevant as there is a sales ban...

They're for everybody, including you. You had asked "what's next if we take the guns away?", but it's the same problem because you're not saying what guns are being taken, how they're being taken, who they're being taken from etc. For example, changing the legal age from 18 to 21 takes away guns...

Again this is way too imprecise. "gun control" is such a broad general catch all as to be virtually meaningless as a term. In Canada or the US? Ban firearms? reduce access to firearms? Introduce purchasing contrios? Exclude groups of people? Age restrictions? Educational requirements? Penalties...

You need to be more precise. Are you talking about the US or Canada or both? Also by "taking away" are you referring to confiscating guns, preventing the sale of certain types of guns, or preventing the sale of guns to certain types of people, or combinations of those?

Well, let's have a look at some basic numbers. The USA has about 120 guns per hundred population. Canada has about 35 guns per hundred population. It's not strictly apples to apples but the cultures are similar enough that we should be able to make a ballpark comparison. So, if we trust in...

Hence the federal change is doomed to failure comment that I made. State changes are entirely possible though, just cumbersome, as you need to wend your way through the NRA funded court opposition to make change. Meh. It is what it is.

It seems to have less to do with legislation than it does with what can get through the courts. Federal stuff is pretty much doomed to failure and every state initiative has to go through reams of judicial actions and appeals against them. It has less to do with who's in power than it does with...

Mass shooting number 324 this year so far., according to the gun violence archive. All routine. Nothing to get excited about. Thoughts and prayers, yadda, yadda, yadda.

LOL. Yes, unless you're looking for a lot of finger pointing and yelling and screaming then politics forums are not for you. The funny thing is, if you put the issues aside and instead talk about the structure of government and what's wrong you'll often find a lot of room for agreement between...

you're right. I wasn't aware of that. Is that in their written terms and conditions or is it based on a Canada specific court ruling?

I have also been told to mention spy cameras. I don't usually bother looking for them, but I do understand it can be a problem. Maybe someone with more expertise can weigh in on good preventative techniques against spycams.

I was reminded today that drink drugging is not just an international thing, and that I should mention it. Usual practice is not to drink anything or eat anything that you didn't bring yourself, and if your intention is to share anything then whatever you bring should be unopened with the seal...

The ladies value themselves and their services differently, as well as offering different things which may also affect pricing, and you'd have to ask each one individually why they feel that way. Even so I doubt you'd get answer that you'd find useful. If a lady is too expensive for you then...

They're all pretty. Worry more about the service than the looks. An interesting girl will be much more enjoyable than one who is only pretty.

Instead of using the Ebay default shipping permissions you could try reaching out directly to the vendor in their contact forum and see if they will make separate arrangements for you. Most won't, but some do. Worth asking anyway.

Yes, that's the problem. You pay high shipping costs twice. Ebay is no bargain anymore for many things. If you can find what you want on Amazon and ship it to a forwarder it could be worthwhile, but likely not for a $25 item.

I can't speak to having an American Express, because I haven't had one for years and years. If that kind of shipping is an Amex perk then go for it. However, a 10lb package from the US to Canada using myus.com costs somewhere around $30-35 USD. That's a really high rate for a one off purchase...

they're expensive for just a one off purchase..I used to use them when I lived in central america and even on a subscription basis it would be really expensive against the cost of a $25 item.

If it was all about bad ratings then Trump should be fired too. His ratings are in the toilet as well. lol. Everybody's ratings are in the toilet. You'd struggle to find a single nationally prominent politician who has a positive net approval. If we were talking about a private company instead...
