VIDEO: Why lots of people are up in arms about the federal gun buyback program

ssmuser1234; If you purchased the gun legally you already are on a list, and that's the way it should be. If a rifle is deemed dangerous for what ever reason, then get over it and use what is allowed. You don't need it, you just want it. It's a privilege, you need a licence to use it and need to follow the laws to keep said licence, it's not your right. Move south if you can't live without them

You're very brave Jane to be so open and honest with your feelings. I believe the holidays can definitely make us feel worse sometimes, especially when your missing someone. I hope you find some peace for yourself.

People seem to forget that first there's triage to assess the urgency of your ailment and beyond the waiting room doors, the beds are full. Ford's cuts have made Ontario healthcare and education extremely taxing on those who remain to "hold the fort" Doctors, Nurses, Educators & support workers have been struggling to do their best with less staff for years and instead of blaming the Ford gov. and voting them out, they are re-elected to continue to gut the system.

Does the rate increase factor in subsidies the Ford Gov. has handed his buddies at Enbridge Gas? It's was projected in 2024 they will make over 2 billion in profit by being Ford's pic for all new builds in Ontario.

Adopt rather than shop, get your animals fixed or face fines and make back-yard breeding illegal. That would fix things.

There are videos on-line of a family in Bermuda who had 2 dogs and a Raccoon named Pumpkin. They had to remove all of the handles and knobs from the kitchen to keep Pumpkin from climbing on the counters and opening the drawers and cupboards. Cute little guy though.
