Like usual...civil was on the suface, dig deeper and I saw through your whole charade as that is what you always do... Anyway... Gun safety is not some sort of secret phoquing code to decipher. 1. The phoquing USofA is NOT the ONLY phoquing country in the world that its citizens are armed... 2. The phoquing USofA is NOT the ONLY phoquing country in the world that its a RIGHT for its citizens to be armed. 3. Once all of you phoque-tards understand that you are NOT special in the world, you will understand many things. 4. the REASON why I told you to google other nations is for you to understand that OTHER nations have STANDARD and LOGICAL gun safety practices and storage in laws etc... Restrictions... 5. You WILL realize that ALL you discussed with @A Horse With No Name and @G. David Felt right after you made this silly post, is that ALL countries have variations of what you guys discussed. As law... But people in those countries also follow THEIR own brain logic too... 6. The ONLY MAJOR difference in the US and MOST of the rest of the world is that US citizens have access, unbelievable, unfettered access to "military style" weaponry. 7. If you would have bothered JUST to google ONLY Canada, you would QUICKLY realize that MOST of the world's country's citizens do NOT have access to AR-15s and they certainly do NOT buy those types of weapons at a Walmart or buy a Ford F150 and get a free AR15 deals from a dealership in South Carolina... 8. I could have suggested to restrict "military style" weapons, but THAT is not the phoquing problem the US has with guns. 9. Rural America is NOT the ONLY phoquing rural area in the world where people have guns and could be quite protective of their property. 10. I even made it a PHOQUING point NOT to go to rural Greece in think that 20% of Greeks own guns because you WILL be shot in rural Greece too. 11. Maybe if you as a dumb phoquing American let go of your shytty American pride, you would realize, even if Im a tad rude, blunt and overbearing, that MY message is loud and PHOQUING clear. 12. THAT message is that too many PHOQUING Americans are too selfish, too stupid to handle guns even if they own a shyte ton of them, too irresponsible even if there WOULD be rules and regs, nobody follows them anyway. 13. THAT is why I said PHOQUE the laws and what laws dictate. 14. Like I said, most Americans lack sympathy and empathy and seriuosly dont have ANY regard for human life and THAT nis why gun violence is sooooo prevalent in your phoquing society. 15. THAT is why I said pseudo-intellectuals say that the US is born from violence. But I also said Greece was ALSO born from violence. Athena is not only a Goddess of wisdom but she is also a Goddess of military war strategy. Greeks do not kill each other every other week-end in public shootings... 16. The problem that NEEDS to be addressed is a problem that Americans need to look in the phoquing mirror and change the phoquing person they see in the phoquing mirror. 17. the ATTITUDE towards nonchalance of gun ownership and human deaths NEED to be changed within YOUR society. 18. I asked YOU what the PHOQUE YOU will do to HELP your fellow American to change his shytty ways... IS THAT CEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU???!!! As you could see...I am NOT insufferable... I actually care. It may not look like it. You laughed at that last time I said it. I use vulgar language to WAKE YOU THE PHOQUE UP!!! But your countrymen/women and everybody in between NEEDS to change their attitude towards violence and human deaths. Canadians do not like when other Canadians shoot and kill others. Not only do our laws reflect that, but deep in OUR souls, we do NOT shoot ourselves. Toronto is US/Canada's 4th largest region. Multi-cultural. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Latinos, Euros of all kinds, Middle-Easterners of all kinds... We live together PEACEFULLY. Not a lot of gun violence. We feel safe in the streets of Toronto even during the witching hours of the night. BECAUSE Canadians have RESPECT for human lives... American cities and there are public shootings every other week-end... Take this how you phoquing wish. But do NOT insult my intelligence by saying you asked a civil question. You did not... Read what I re-wrote again in this post, its just a repeat of what I said previously. Practically word for word. And THAt is how you know I am sincere in my words as I have NOT changed my position one bit! Or do not read it. I do not care. But MY opinion of the matter of gun safety is is EXACTLY what I wrote! Truth hurts of what I wrote. But it is what it is.

No taxation without representation is what. Lutnick Licknut said of the US/Canada talks a couple of days ago that US first, Canada second for the automotive sector. Normally Id have to agree with him in regards for him as an American to protect the US economy. You cannot blame an American economist vying to protect his country's economic interests. Problem is... ...in the North American automotive industry ( USA/Canada relationship), building and selling cars for the benefit Americans first is kinda deeper than that. I mean, forget about the close to 100 years of Detroit having factories in Canada and Canadians building the vehicles for Americans. And forget about Canadian factories building American cars for Canadians. Forget also that...Ford (and Mercury), Chryco, (mostly Dodge) and General Motors (mostly Pontiac) had EXCLUSIVE Canadian specific models that Canadians built in Canadian factories for Canadians BECAUSE of US/Canada treaties... Yeah...forget that legality once upon a time ago to which those Canadian specific models also helped the US economy GREATLY in many ways... Forget about all that 100 year history and economical ties. There is a deeper more complex reality that involves Canadian iron ore, steel, aluminium... There is a sad song about a ship that sank in the Great Lakes if anybody cares to listen to it But I digress... Anyway...ships like the Tadoussac and the Niagara hauled Canadian iron ore from Quebec mostly...CHEAP, VERY CHEAP, VERY VERY VERY...VERY CHEAP CANADIAN IRON ORE to Detroit for Detroit to build these gas guzzling beasts where Detroit became the RICHEST city in the United States of America once upon a time ago. Trump said in this meeting hat there will be a satisfactory deal with Canada that Canadians will once again travel to... You know... Phoque Lutnick Licknut!!!! Phoque Trump!!! Phoque the US!!!

My country is not the one that is threatening ICE agents at the Superbowl just because there will be a gay Puerto Rican performing t the half time show. Need I show you the peaceful tactics of ICE agents? Need I spell out the homophobic so called Christian reasons of why said performer is not wanted at the Superbowl half time show? Need I also spell out the love that one sector of Americans have for another? All the things that I have pointed out that you call insufferable... PS: Charlie Kirk spewed ALL that kind hatred in his podcasts and University campus debates. The Bad Bunny hatred at the half time show hatred... Charlie Kirk advocated for gun violence too and ironically died in the very same way he condoned... And the shooter of Charlie Kirk at that school was another far right phoquetard. So phoque you @ccap41 for it all!!! Are you trying to shame me for what your shytty country has become? You cant see your own hypocrisy of questioning MY thoughts on how your phoquing shytty country is soooooo phoquing shytty? Dude...shame on you and your fellow country men. YOU and YOUR countrymen are insufferable...

Not a serious question... Just another deflection. Canada has laws that dictate how guns should be stored. Locks and safeties and how to toransport guns in cars from place to place...yada yada yada. I glanced quickly to what @G. David Felt wrote. I quickly know how to store my own guns. AS I DO own guns myself. I told you to google what other countries do for gun ownership. Lots of countries have rules and regs for gun owners to follow. Restrictions on who owns what type of guns. ETC... I also told you to phoque what the laws dictate on what to do for safe gun ownership. But I also asked you WHAT kind of research are YOU going to do to INFORM yourself the dangers of hateful folk that EXPLOIT your naivete for their OWN gain. I also asked of you what will YOU start doing to change the mindset of all these brainwashed Americans that feel the need to own guns to feel safe. I asked of you how YOU and your fellow American on how will YOU reverse gun violence idolization? Ill ask another question. How will YOU convince your fellow Americans, YOUR community and society to teach themselves GUN SAFETY. How to learn PROPER AND SAFE GUN ETIQUETTE. And most importantly...contrary to what Charlie Kirk and the far right preaches now...how to RE-LEARN about HUMAN EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY. (Both Greek words by the way...ANCIENT GREEK WORDS...) I asked you to start to REVERSE that hurtful trend about guns your society has fallen for. And my ranting looks like a lot of hot air...but only to those that have closed eyes, ears and hearts. Or trolls...

I told you what YOU need to do. I preach what I pray about guns and its that what I do. And MOST Canadians, and Greeks in Greece would just about have that same sentiment. Most societies also have that same Canadian sentiment.... You are FULL of questions but NEVER actually take in anything. You love your gotcha moments and putting others on the spot. I answered you. yet you are still not satisfied. But Ill ask you? Dare I ask you? You will not answer me anyway. You will come back with another deflection type of question for me to answer... What are YOU going to do to change your fellow American mindset about gun violence? After all, you WERE and still ARE naive about the Charlie Kirks in your society...

In Greece though, Greek boys when they turn 18, they perform MANDATORY military service. They serve 9-12 months in the Hellenic Armed Forces. Used to be 2 years. After that, they are in the reserves just in case Greece needs to go to war. Up to the age of 45, Greeks living abroad, such as myself despite if I was born in Canada and is a Canadian citizen and NOT a Greek citizen, if we visit Greece and stay LONGER than 3 months in a year, yup, we also have to mandatory military service. We could also pay to get out of that. But I digress. What does that do? It teaches to respect the gun. Guns kill. Guns dont kill people is what the NRA says. While true, that statement DESENTISIZES what guns are capable of doing. Many pseudo-intellectuals say the US was born from violence and hence that is why violence is prevalent in US culture. While true, Greece was also born from violence. We have a God of War. We have Athena, Goddess of wisdom. But also a Goddess of military strategy... We have both a man and a woman as Gods that we idolized for warfare. Our stories are full of death, murder and even rape. But you just dont see Greeks furiously and frivolously kill each other with gun violence. Or any kind of violence. And I do not know how accurate that study is about Greece, but do not go to the Greek country side thinking that only 20% of the population have guns. Greeks love to hunt. And they hunt. Trust me they hunt. Like Canadians. We have rules that prohibit the 'scary' guns. The AR-15s that only shoot 1 bullet at a time as some NRA phoque-a-zoids call it. Canadians are also well armed. Canadians also love to hunt. And hunt we do. What kind of gun laws does Canada have? Very restrictive now as even hand guns are almost impossible to own in Canada. But NOT entirely impossible as special cases are rewarded to some peoples. But...truth be told, gun violence had an uptick. Not dangerously high. But... Again though, NRA or other Charlie Kirk types of phoques do not go around scaring us that the guvment is out to get us. Well, we do not trust ANY guvment as much as any looney American, we also believe that a citizen NEEDS to be armed, not just from enemies beyond our border, but with enemies from within, we also understand that we cannot have guns run amuck either. And a hunting rifle or shot gun is actually deadlier than a hand gun. But now we are just going to go down a NRA level type of misguided argument as to why we need to have teachers arm themselves to protect students...

No you are not. But just to entertain you. You have access to the internet? OK...google on how other countries deal with gun ownership. Do not do the lazy thing like you did with Charlie Kirk... Only look at what looks good for you and is all happy for you to look at. Dig deep. Deeper than what 'research' you did with Charlie Kirk to come up with such a useless answer as to why you thought Charlie Kirk was a good debater and a good semaritan. Charlie Kirk said that he is comfortable with a few gun deaths a year JUST to keep the freedom of owning guns a right for American citizens... As it happens, a Greek guy got shot in a Starbucks in Laval (a Montreal suburb city just north of the island. Montreal is an island) 3-4 days ago. Early. Almost noon. It had people inside. Innocent people. 42 year old thug. He was part of a mafia gang of some sort. Did contract work for the mafia. What mafia? Italian mafia? Who the phoque cares? He sold drugs. Extorted money. Possibly did murder for hire also. Called himself Bob the Greek. Now he is no longer Bob the Greek but Bob the dead phoquing Greek. Good phoquing riddance but I digress. Well...it starts with the community and the society. The Laval community was disgusted by this blatant disregard for human life. For public safety. The cops also. Nobody liked the fact that gun violence happened. In public. Where innocent people were. Our society does NOT want guns to go away. It is ALSO our RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS TO OWN guns. But OUR society also does NOT want gun violence to continue. We do NOT have any NRA type factions dictating to us that we should have open carry laws. We are NOT immune to school shootings. In Montreal, we have had 2. Anyway, we keep on REMEMBERING the first one where WOMEN were murdered JUST because they were in engineering school. Our school shooter was one of the first incel phoques to come around. This happened on December 6 1989. 1989. 1989. Ecole Polytechnique massacre it is called. We KEEP on REMEMBERING the victims. We keep on REMEMBERING the cause and WHAT to do to ELIMINATE this kind of behaviour. YOUR society puts Charlie Kirk on a pedestal. Did you do your research on Charlie Kirk to see what kind of misogynistic phoque he really was? What kind of bigoted rhetoric he was spewing. The hatred he lead people to have? Well...it starts from that. PHOQUE the laws... Change YOUR society. Change your attitude about gun violence as a society. Start with that. Trump putting ICE agents in your cities, having Charlie Kirks and fake phoquing priests garner AR-15s, having the NRA say that teachers need to start carrying guns to protect themselves and their students need to be changed. Reverse THAT ideology. Start with that...

A front wheel drive Oldsmobile 442? Hmmmmmm.... Yeah...it may have a more plushy ride than a regular Cutlass and it could be called a baby Toronado because of it, I guess, but I think Ill pass on wanting a Cutlass 442 with FWD. Even with a 455 powering the (front) wheels. Id happily own a Toronado though. 1966. Retomodded as I feels like I would want disk brakes at the front as a minimum. I like the fact that the wheel base is 2 inches longer than the normal Cutlass coupe though. You could see the added 2 inches makes for an even better looking A body. That colour is AMAZING!!! I saw this episode yesterday. I try not to miss any Jay Leno's garages...

I do not think that Americans are insane because FAKE Christians brandish AR-15s in sermon... I think Americans are insane: 1. Because a faction of dumb phoquing Americans have faith and follow FAKE pastors in FAKE churches practicing a FAKE religion under the guise of Christianity. And then all the rest of the idiot Americans have the phoquing balls to include ALL the religions as being bad JUST because shytty factions of snake oil salesmen have taken control over their phoquing dumb ass country. Spare me the talk about magic men in the sky with the LEGIT religions. Just because FAKE phoquing prophets...ie humans, took aspects of religion to feed their greed and hatred and to bamboozle phoqueheads, that has NOTHING to do with the religions itself. Mega church, TV evangelists, mormons, evangelical phoquetards and everything else the United States of America calls a religion that is said to be Christian but BLATANTLY DEFIES ANYTHING REMOTELY that defines Christianity is the problem that plagues the well being of the US. Including the phoquing Pilgrims that came over the phoquing Mayflower that called themselves the Calvinist Protestants... And do NOT get me started with the original bullshyte Anglican and Protestant churches of merry 'ole England to which one of the two was invented or altered because fat phoquing King Henry VIII wanted to divorce his wife but couldnt. He ended up decapitating 2 of his other wives... This phoquing problem with religion in the US starts right there...in merry 'ole shytty England. The rest of the religions of the world are pretty OK Id say. So I find it insane that Americans are phoquing clueless about who is phoquing them royally. (pun intended) 2. I find it insane that Americans are hit with gun violence at EVERY junction in everyday life and then see phoquing insane people brandishing guns "peacefully", like this phoquing idiot, and then be surprised that gun violence hits them at EVERY phoquing junction of everyday life. 3. And then do NOTHING to stop gun violence. Not even as much as to quell it a little bit. But use excuses to quell gun violence by adding...more guns to the equation... 4. I find it insane that Americans actually believe that America is the ONLY nation that has gun culture and are free to own guns. I also find it insane how Americans are so phoquing IRRESPONSIBLE with gun ownership and how they parrot nonsensical phrases from all those snake oil salesmen that continue to help them kill themselves... And are proud of it. THAT last part is truly the insane part. The pride of continuing to kill oneself...from within. From their fellow American neighbour...

We did The Bay and Sears too. Sears...Kenmore appliances back in the day were the best. I miss Sears also.

I should have said 'successor' instead of 'predecessor' Probably my favorite Mercedes sedan. I also love the W123. So tied for my favorite Mercedes sedans. Id restomod either of them. But Id be cheeky with it. Id Hellcat them. Just a minor grudge I still hold for the merger of equals. Id also nix all the 3 pointed star and AMG badging. Id replace all 3 pointed stars with the Dodge Fratzog and AMG with the Cat from Hell badging. Id leave the 6.3 liter badging though. A Hellcat engine is 6.2 liters. And so is that AMG engine. Its just that the 6.3 has a historical significance. At that point...who cares?

I have always liked this Mercedes. Its predecessor too. @smk4565's ride. Hey @smk4565. Still got your Mercedes? I love your car!!! I also liked the 190E back in the day.

I never liked that 280ZX. I still dont like it to this day. Although I do likje the interior. Especially the digital dash version. I was just listening to music and watching the videos...youtube and all...when I had the itch to listen to Borderline. Then I saw the 280 long forgotten it was in the video and I said to myself "hmmmmm...maybe I post picture of 280. Sounds good." Bradlees? Never heard of them. I just googled and saw what they were. We had Miracle Mart, Woolco and Zellers. My mommy had bought me many Hot Wheels cars from Miracle Mart. All our, or most, electronic purchases were made from a department store called Eatons. I miss Eatons. They had a wide selection of entry level electronics to the premium ones. They had a substantial toy department too. Plastic model kits to fancy electric train sets. Video game consoles and their games too. Appliances and furniture. With those too, Eatons carried entry level stuff to high end stuff. At least with the Downtown location. We lived 10 minutes away from downtown so my parents shopped at that location all the time. It was great because as a kid, I got to see how poor we were, but also what the rich people buy as compared to what my family bought. How poor we were...I never felt ashamed. Just made me motivated to succeed in life. And I also learned that entry level stuff (at least back then) was built to last just as much as the high end stuff. But some quality elements suffered, be it a lack of chrome on a button or maybe a speaker was a little bit weaker than the higher end stuff. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. Wow...thanks Drew for making me reminisce about my childhood. LOL.

And??? (not directed at you @A Horse With No Name) Some of you god damned pathetic American losers will suffer economic losses? Cry about it to someone who gives a phoque... Maybe this guy... But apparently, Canadian sales of US liquor is but a drop in a bucket in the whole US liquor sales scheme of things....is what was said by these US liquor entities. The leader of the free fascist world that is the USA said that Canada has nothing that the US needs. That the US subsidizes Canada... Phoque the US!!!

EVs in North America better get an even MORE price cut because the Chinese EV makers are on stand-by and ready to flood this market. All it takes is Canada to eliminate the 100% tariffs on them and Chinese EVs will enter with ease spelling the end for GM and Ford and quite possibly Tesla. Stellantis could maybe survive via Europe but only in Europe. KIA could survive as KIA's mother market is not a dumb one like in Trump's America. Its funny to me when anti-EV morons say NOBODY wants an EV. Yet...the US and Canada have 100% tariffs on them. If NOBODY wants EVs, then why the 100% tariff on them? NOBODY would be buying them anyway regardless if tariffed or not. Nobody wants EVs, right???!!! But ah.....people DO want EVs. ESPECIALLY if they are of the low-priced variety. And it seems like the ones that China will offer us WOULD be of the low-priced yet very competent variety. The situation of new car prices in the US, even for ICEV, has reached the point of ridiculousness. And with many jobs being lost daily, the question is, who the hell could afford ANY new car in the US REGARDLESS if ICEV or EV? But here in Canada, we are doing well enough. We are de-coupling from the US in certain areas. In other markets, Canada is side stepping and pivoting away from the US but keeping the US as a partner...for now. In the automotive area, we are quite dependant still and quite in bed with the US. But, push come to shove, and we may have to drastically de-couple and fast. And it aint a joke either. Our politically Provincial leaders, most of them, are SERIOUSLY DEMANDING our Prime Minister to SERIOUSLY take into consideration in eliminating these tariffs we have levied on Chinese EVs to let them in our market. And Carney, our PM, is REALLY looking into this matter. Yet again, sometime this week, tomorrow or whatever, he will meet with Trump to discuss the bulsshyte talk of the 51st State rhetoric and the tariff situation between the US and Canada. If this talk will go nowhere, like it probably will lead to nothing... Chineses EVs are THAT much closer in being sold in Canada. Trump likes to lie and suggest Canada is folding, but its the opposite, anytime talks between Carney and Trump fail, another nail in the coffin for the US as Carney then just goes to Europe and makes another trade deal for Canada and the Eurozone. China will probably be solved before 2026 appears...

True North Strong and Free!!! Phoque Trump!!! Phoque the US!!!

I hate A.I. fakery. But Im also super impressed with it. The man has passed away 50 years ago yet here he is doing quite the (fake) awesome job of being possibly the only (fake) actor in replacing Harrison Ford in an OG Star Wars trilogy. This is pure demonry in so many ways. Its scary.

Happy Anniversary!!!

This has not made the headlines. Is it because the murderer was yet another white male, young, and a right loyalist? Another white male phoque-a-zoid that identifies with the so called right conservatism that...kills with a gun... The mormon church murderer was also another white male phoque-a-zoid right conservative phoque... Charlie Kirk was full of love the right phoques tell us. And some believe that narrative...even a certain poster that posts here... I say phoque that poster!!! Phoque all white male phoques that identify with the right. Phoque their females too!!! Phoque the US!!!

Problem is, the people that listen to dis-informative news are too stupid to know what damage Trump has done. I bet anybody that listens to that video has no idea who those guys laughing at Trump are. I only recognize Macron. But I easily understand the dynamics. The ignorant phoques that have no idea what that video is about also think that its a 'fake' news video. Everything those people believe in is false. The irony being those people think that their point of view is the only true and righteous point of view. Its disgusting how these fools have been fooled...

He has alienated the US.
