Any recomendations for alternatives to Boyds to re-stock a Venezuelan contract FN Mauser thats already been sporterized? Picked it up cheap, reciever and barrel are great, good shooter, but stock has a couple of repaired cracks and the barrel looks like it was floated at home with a dull chisel

Just a guess- but I'd say the difference in shipping method fundamentally changes the risk profile. Battery in open air on a flatbed- if something goes wrong you're looking at a highway side fire on piece of equipment- hit the shoulder, let 'r burn, hauling company submits an insurance claim...

Yup, a lot of mechanics still to be determined/ publicized. Like I said will be interesting to track, see if they can successfully take some lessons learned from the BC scandal and thread the needle to deliver a functional affordable community without it becoming "the projects" Given the...

A project to keep an eye on https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/waterloo-habitat-affordable-housing-project-city-owned-lands-1.7571752 https://www.waterloo.ca/Modules/News/index.aspx?feedId=0d868655-ba17-4efa-988b-1951530c7aec&newsId=ba220267-2261-4e54-83ef-48b49d0e9dbe

In broadstrokes, using Benchmark price on the provincial aggregate (there's definite regional variation we're currently sitting at 77% percent of peak (April 2022) roughly in line with March of 2021, on a slight but slowing down trend. In my area, it's currently 88% of peak, largely...

Whether OSAP loan or LOC, in both situations he's coming out with 30k +/- 10% in debt. There is a greater delta to be found in other choices he can make than there is in that 4k cost of borrowing, and the support of family with the means of being non-OSAP qualifying far outweighs that. My...

I feel his pain. Youngest child by a decent stretch = parents only dependant at time of application + parents owning a farm = nothing for IKN As it was made clear to us all that we were paying our own way (with other "in kind" type supports) that was a kick in the teeth, but I had a feeling it...

Devils advocate- how much of that result can be explained by Smith's continuous game of footsie with the separatist movement and the degree to which separatism has found support in the UCP? Why vote for the brash fringe underdog if you think the ruling party is tacking in that direction?

Re the bold- are you talking about non-OSAP loans that are as "generous" as OSAP with respect to interest/payment deferral, or just general lending available to students? I know Meridian currently has a Student LOC available at Prime + 1.50- I assume with parent co-signor like the bank loans...

And Jim has an innate understanding of what constitutes reasonable and proportional force does he? To go with his innate ability to handle himself underfire when/if things go south without endangering bystanders of course

I agree with the bottom line wholeheartedly, but given the top line I think we disagree on what "trouble finds me" means. In my opinion an intruder in the/ in close proximity to them home should be enough to let you remove from storage and load without having violating the firearms act. You...

They shouldn't. But that doesn't mean the answer is angry Jim who has never heard the term of "use of force training" poking around in the dark while hopped up on adrenaline. Most PAL holder's aren't LEO's or CAF members. Hell the story Halifax brought in was literally a man firing into the sky...

We certainly don't have it correct IMO, but I wouldn't go so far as agreeing that we should have the right to use our firearms to defend our property. PAL holders shouldn't be heading out into the night in defense of "stuff", precipitating conflict situations that they're not trained to handle...
