Indeed the flaming botles of gasoline was the extreme sample for North America (but not all countries). No one has lobbed Molatovs at out home but there is a familt member in my home who is of frail health, so I would use what I feel is appropriate force if I felt someone within the compound is...

SUpporting a community center is good for everyone. Our local Catholic church had the local grade school donated to them many years ago, which has been leased back to the county and converted into the local community center as well as the firehall to house the volunteer fire department pumper...

Throwing stuff at someones home is not always taken as a threat on them physically, unless it is something like flaming bottles of gasoline, or one of the occupants of the home is of ill health and the stress will cause them harm. A lot of people who celebrate by firing guns into the air have...

hahaha - I remember that NASA was visiting for a long time near Sudbury because the stripped landscape was similar to the barren terrain of the moon... also quite close in colour as everything back then was grey. Probably could have just taken footage from their evaluations and tests and...

Perhaps this is the same build-up we had in the 1960s when there was a race to get the technology to the point where a human would set foot on another planet. I still remember everyone watching the landing on the moon - it was spectacular.

My pickup truck was made by Ford to run only on gasoline... would this also be viewed as anti competitive behaviour? Perhaps I would like to run my truck on deisel or ethanol or electricity or hydrogen...

That is excellent! I do not do any structured volunteer work but I do assist with local youth in their quest to maintain their own off road vehicles safely. Originally they had no mechanical clue and a lot of them were spending a lot of time in the bush walking out. Got tired of having to...

If all else fails with hardware setups - ask someone under 30 (as long as they can stop texting for 5 minutes and pay attention to your question). Thats the easiest way I get things done that is not a jobsite issue: drop off the equipment at the kids home in town, announce I will be picking up...

Ask if you can check with the hospitals IT guru and get them to guide you through it. Each hospital is a bit different setup and rules but we have never been told NO by their techies. Just avoid the area near the MRI and other "non-invasive" test procedures...

My choice of English is not always correct - I don’t know what other word to use for "compound" to describe the portion where our home is on our property. It is fenced with energized fencing similar to the outer boundary of the property so there are no livestock where they should not be, which...

We used to be able to leave the keys in the car, the tractors in the field and the house unlocked... as 'civilization' moves closer to the rural areas people seem to feel they have the liberty to take or use what does not belong to them. We have seen and approached people casually wandering...

Some people can hardly stay on topic, the rest seem to look for chances to bash someone elses country. sad... Back to the original intent of the thread - my daughter came back from Maine and had a most excellent time. Only a couple of days at the ocean and the rest of the time doing touristy...

We are fortunate enough to have found our paradise here in Canada so we bought it! Now there is no need for vacations or holidays because all we ever wanted is right here. Nouvelle-Calédonie is an island paradise but is very touristy. It is always a better visit if you know someone who...

We used to be in the paddocks during race week in Montreal in the 1980s through 1990s with our vintage cars, a lot of people do not realise there is more then just the one race class at the event. It was always good fun until too many people wanted to be more important then the primary draw of...

Similar to how many governments use their black highlighter on official documents made public...

We would still like to go back to Australia for another visit or six - but the next time for pleasure and not mostly business.

Australia was second to come to America's aid on September 11, Canada was first by default when America closed their airspace to all air traffic and Canada too the risk and allowed all the aircraft which were denied access to land at Canadian airports.

I do not follow F1 as closely as I used to, all the politicing and BS over the Canadian GP soured my passion towards it and I have shifted my interest to other series of racing.

Canada's gun registration troubles were due to mismanagement and lack of control in the law. The intent was merely a registry in order to match evidence of crime to possible persons committing the crime or crimes. Refusal to sign onto the registry by individuals was also a major downfall in...

Our daughter and he husband love to go on vacation just near Kennebunkport ME, very nice and relaxing area around there, they have made some good friends in that area and some of them come up to Canada to visit time to time.
