If I remember correctly, it has to do with his 2012 speech at the RNC.

Well, I DO have a Miata... On second thought, a pistol probably wouldn't even fit in that glove box...
And duct tape! You can do anything with duct tape, including building a water tight canoe. That was one of my favorite Red Green episodes.
I do not see any problem with the posting of the article in Off Topic. I think it is totally appropriate. I think what it does illustrate is that there are people like that everywhere. They are also not the norm anywhere, but they do exist.
Also, I don't know about other people, but I have never thought of Canadians as non-firearm owning people, as many people do. I am sure that you will find that on average, especially in rural areas, people have firearms in Canada just like in rural areas of the United States. What I do know from personal experience, is that Canadians are very polite, friendly, civilized people.
When I was in graduate school at Clarkson in Potsdam, NY, I had the option of going to Watertown, NY, or Ottawa, or Montreal on weekends because there was absolutely nothing to do in Potsdam other than go to grocery stores or drink. My choices were always Ottawa or Montreal. I loved spending the day in either city. I just found the people lovely.

I agree with you. I think what the article shows is that there is always at least one like that everywhere. Unfortunately, as someone else stated in an earlier post, and I do agree with him, is that all the "gun culture" and "bunker builders" has been perpetuated by shows like Doomsday Preppers, and others of that ilk.
I live in rural upstate New York, literally 2 miles north of a very rural region of Pennsylvania. Yes, we do have guys in pickup trucks with guns hanging in gun rack on the back windows, and dressing their vehicles in stars & bars flags (for those from countries other than the United States, who may not be familiar with that term, it is the Confederate flag that was carried by states that seceded from the Union during the Civil War in the 1860s). But they are not the majority, and most of them do nothing more than hunt game. It does not mean that they are survivalists, or mad, gun-hoarders.

That's just an act so people will think we're weak, but mess with us and we'll show you our army of polar bears and destroy everyone.
But seriously, it's nice to see an American that actually isn't ignorant when it comes to Canada. We don't see that often. Kudos.
Wowsa! Talk about a thread blowing up. The things I miss while at work.
By the way....I don't use a glovebox to store my pistol. That belongs on my hip. And as for the shotgun in a car. Any pickup with a shotgun rack works wonders. They will even fit in most cars too.
I never knew Canadians didn't have firearms. All the ones I met have had at least as many as me.....
But this thread has been a great read so far. And its nice to see a topic like this staying civil.....for once....

As long as we are debunking Canadian things.....
Does anyone know how it got started that Canadians say the word "eh" quite often as filler at the end of a sentence? It almost works like a question tag sometimes.

No idea. I say it once in a while but it's not nearly used enough to be a country stereotype. Hell a guy I know that was born in Slovakia uses it once in a while so it's not even our country. lol

Funny how these things get plastered into TV and movies. Since I am from the South (US) people think we all drive pickups, like country music and love NASCAR. Well I do drive a Pickup but hate country music and could care less about NASCAR. Turn left, Turn left. boring. And although I have zero problem with hunting I don't hunt either. Hunting is fine as long as the meat is eaten and not just wasted. I don't like to see that.

Agreed on the hunting part, also I don't know. People are just ignorant and are so gullible when it comes to stereotypes.
Don, You hate country music, I am shocked. You must have gotten one of them thar yuppie trucks thats electric powered.....
Kidding. I hear you on the Worlds impression of US citizens, what everyone needs to understand is that is an extremely small percentage people. Most of us are hard working, blue and white collar workers that love our country. I have a truck, if I own guns its my business and now I shoot with my camera.
It was nice to see this thread not go South even though was plenty of chances to take it that way.

Dude, be patient! It's still early. Plenty of time for this to hit the crapper!
But I hope it won't!
Yup, as long as you shoot them in the head.
