^ oh and if he banned drugs, then that would probably cure the drug problem too. Oh wait a minute....

OK I see that we're saying different things. It seems, however, that firearms didn't even have to be in secure storage when the incident began; Thompson could have been 'using' the firearms. Making it even less likely that the charge would stick.

^ And maybe you're saying the same thing, but if Thompson's home he can surely take firearms out of storage and 'use' them. Somehow Crown would have to prove that firearms weren't in storage when Thompson wasn't home - so I am not surprised the charge failed. I don't get how Crown thought they...

I understand how the firearms have to be stored - but that's when they are stored. How about when they are not in storage e.g. because you're home and decided to take them out of storage? Apparently a very murky subject (to my surprise) and careless storage is the most common charge that's...

Don't understand the charge of unsafe storage since Thomson was home at the time. Firearm is safer in his night table, where he can use it to defend himself (and its theft) than in a locker somewhere. So a guy comes home takes his firearm out of storage and puts it in his night table. When...

and btw any cool dudes selling investment products within Ontario have to be registered with Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). I expect same applies for any other province. http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/en/Investors_check-registration_index.htm

Oh and I just noticed Red695's tagline "Safely earn a guaranteed 8% interest yearly on your RRSP's? Contact Me *" and let me say with certainty that it's total BS. Sample Canadian govt. bonds yields are at: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/interest-rates/canadian-bonds/ Now these are...

nice find. thanks.

you have to risk adjust your returns to be able compare one investment to the other. For example if you're paying 2%/yr interest on a mortgage: [1] the 2% is after tax money. So if you're in e.g. the highest tax bracket in Ontario (almost 50% incremental rate) that means that you would have...

I'm onside.

Hard to say, since Switzerland, Israel, Finland and New Zealand (on your charts too) also have very high rates of gun ownership and much lower firearm homicide than the U.S. And it's not a matter of being pro gun or anti gun. Everybody would like to keep guns out of the hands of wacko's...

^^ whoaa. Nice find. Will take me a while to plow through this.

Thanks for your quick post. Some comments. [1] About your graphs. You worry about whether there's causality or just correlation. I think you should worry about whether or not they even support what you're saying. There is some gun control in 1988 and crime goes up. There is more gun...

ummm the U.K. example for one is hardly a slam dunk in favour of gun control. " Jewish World Review December 18, 2012 Invincible Ignorance By Thomas Sowell Must every tragic mass shooting bring out the shrill ignorance of "gun control" advocates? The key fallacy of so-called gun control laws...

++1. You can communicate through email. You're not avoiding him at all; you just want to communicate in writing. No need to phone him at all, esp. at this stage. It's easy to get sucked into saying something you regret esp. if English isn't your first language. p.s. It's legal for one...

It's longish but a great piece on how to respond to the shootings. Also a good general discussion on gun control. From someone with allegedly a lot of firearms experience. http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/an-opinion-on-gun-control/

^ variable should always be lower than fixed (e.g. for 5 years) since with variable you are taking the risk and with fixed the lender is taking the risk. So variable always has to be cheaper. Look around some more.

just for a laugh I checked BMO's rates and found 3.09% for a 5 year rate. You might negotiate better. http://www.bmo.com/home/personal/banking/mortgages-loans/mortgage/special-offers/low-rate-mortgage From a quick read I think the difference between this 'low rate' 5 year mortgage and the...

You'd be doffing a plenty to this guy - who has been to the top 21 times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apa_Sherpa I doubt it's easy but also standing on one foot for a day would be a tough thing to do - although a lot safer, cost less and be as meaningful as climbing Everest. I wonder how...
