[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 179682, member: 12214"] 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. [/QUOTE]
