OK for some but not for others? The only reason I said what I did, was because in the last 11 days Canada has been referred to every day in the group as a police state along with the UK and Australia. I didn't bait anyone, I responded to very ignorant statements from people that don't have any idea what they are talking about. The NRA said Canada, the UK and Australia were police states. Glad you all check your information sources. Canada is a free country. We have never had a revolution, or a civil war, and we have never assassinated our leader. And none of that is because our military is so strong, or we are overseen by the Gestapo like police, which we don't happen to have. It is because we have never had the need. Canada is free, clean and respected throughout the world for many very good reasons. This is my last post on the matter. Lets let the group get back to what it supposed to be.
