That’s been my experience 90% of the time with game wardens in Canada as well Boco. It’s the 10% that can be a pita. Seems to be more of the 10%ers. around the last 8-10 years then there were my first 35 years of going to Canada.

The good guys are never the folks taking away law abiding citizens firearms

For far far far too many Canadians, nostalgia is all they have,,,

To stupid to see the future

There are numerous ways a US citizen can lose a firearm or all of his firearms. Any crime committed with a firearm will get that firearm confiscated. Red flag laws can get all of ones guns taken.
That is substantially different than taking them because of what kind of gun, like semi auto, they are. I would think that there are more "bad guns" in private hands than either Canada or the U.S. could physically take and store. News of confiscating likely drives that number higher.

It’s way easier to get a firearm illegally anyways. These laws just effect law abiding citizens.

I could get all guns in Canada turned in in a day. Just have the Unions tell them that it is good for brotherhood.

What a dumb comment. I belong to a union, I also have about 15 guns I use for hunting and other things and plan to until I die.
Door to door won’t happen.

Most of the people I run into up north would give up all their guns before their union card.

Sure they would. I could make something up about the people I ran into in Wisconsin too but that wouldn’t make it true.

Digger, if that’s your perspective of the northern people, then the furthest north you’ve ever been is the WI/MN state line. You’ve got a lot to learn about the north sonny……
Only good thing coming out of Wisconsin is the I94. I was going to say Dave, but he’s from Iowa……lol
Ok, just joking around.
One thing I noticed about American unions, they seem to pressure their members to vote Dem.

Not so sure you have to pressure an American union member to vote dem. If you're union dems put more money into the machine so you vote dem.

That’s true, but being a union member doesn’t change who you are. The IBEW was pushing Dem and our local was pushing anything but Conservative. I’d say maybe 1 in 20 of American or Canadian linemen would vote Dem or Lib. They picked the wrong crowd to push that crap and they got lit up for it on social media.

Is there any other choice in CA?

A Canadian conservative politician is called a blue dog Democrat here

Funny how Canadians and Americans generalize each other. I see it all the time. I have lots of 20 year + Canadian friends and my kids are life long friends with my Can. Buddies kids. They come here and visit a couple times a year, we go there more than that. My son and daughters have a softball team called “The boarder Jumpers”, their younger Canadian friends have come to play over the 4th for years. Team has US and Canada flags on the shirts and they hang both flags on the fence during games, Canada flag just a ticky lower than US.

Most of my US buddies that meet them always generalize when telling other people about Canadians when they actually only know a few Canadians from a very small community in NW Ont. They say things like, “Canadians drink beer all day, then switch to whiskey at night like it’s nothing”. I’m thinking, well I’m an American and I did the exact same thing with them right in front of you”lol The Canadians do the same thing when their at home, things like “Americans all play softball and drink a dirty pile of Bush light while their doing it!”. lol. Lots and lots of stuff like that.
Here’s a team pic from a few years ago:

100% Trapset.
Same thing here with hockey & baseball.
Awesome picture!

Funny thing, I was in the teamsters and was never told how to vote. It amazes me that most people who say that have never been in a union.

Maybe not, but can you say that none of your union dues went to support liberal political candidates?

1994 Second Annual US v Canada Youth Dart Team. I designed and printed both country's team shirts and lapel pins. The Canada shirt was white with red collars and piping. (I need to find the pics of those) . . . anyway,






I’d like to add this FWIW, We were treated exceptionally well. We were given a tour of the city of Ottawa and their Parliament. At the weekend’s end of competition, the Royal Canadian Mounties Hall hosted a buffet banquet for all of us. . . (even the adult libations were free) It was a trip I will always remember . . . SJA :-)

No, I can't say that and I really didn't care. But I can say all I wanted was a job. I worked the same job for a non union employer and made about 25% less and terrible benefits.

It's not easy to find a nonunion job anymore.
Been that way for a long time now.
We all have to feed our families, and pay our bills.
Just because the union backs a politician you wouldn't vote for, doesn't mean quit your job.
Everyday we have to deal with people we don't agree with.
Doesn't mean we should give up either.

I was a teamster local 407 , and they would send me mail telling me who they backed, always democrat.
But that was over 40 years ago, and I hope they woke up.
UAW the same way.
