Thank-you- very much appreciated. And I swear officer (and the timestamps support) that my added hypotheticals were edited in before reading your post- funny coincidence. The bolded is where I'm coming from. Oddly it those "non-discharge" scenarios that give me more concern wrt to the law.

@brihard I know it's a big ask and completely understood if it's a no go, but would you be willing to articulate a (summary of a) fact set where you as the investigating officer would be professionally comfortable not recommending/ charging a home owner for use of a firearm in a home invasion...

How much latitude do investigating officers/crown have in applying defenses, proportionality tests etc. to their decision of whether or not to press charges? The impression I get is that the prevailing standard for self/home defense cases (especially if a firearm or other weapon is involved)...

That's one definition. Then there's the US water rights definition, the colloquial one... Common thread- hundreds / thousands of years, certainly prior to European contact in North America.

Huh. Never made that connection. My thoughts moreso stem from petulance at the dogmatic acceptance of "time immemorial" based on oral tradition despite their being post-contact history of land changing hands. 6 Nations own documents refer to taking Southern Ontario by conquest from the Huron...

Hence the mental gymnastics around land acknowledgements asserting the same piece of land as the ancestral territory of three different nations that took it from each other in sequence.

Which is a whole different kettle of fish. Is that an issue with FPTP and vote efficiency or of limited regional parties? I can convince myself of either/both.

Who needs facts when you have confident feelings right

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...

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...
