And another school shooting - this time in Canada. Eight dead, dozens wounded. What is it with North Americans and guns?

They’re probably sick of people thinking Canada and North America are the same thing, can’t blame them

She is the rudest most brazen Michael Fabricant I have ever seen and I haven’t seen alot of her. Blood boiling levels.

Australia has some of the world’s strictest firearm regulations but they still had a mass shooting recently. Nutters will find a way. While Canada’s gun laws seem very ‘American’ to us there is more gun control than America’s, with lots of recent laws to make them even tighter. They look like they are heading in the right direction. With things like an Assault-Style Firearm ban since May 2020 for one.

As for Pam Bondi she seems to have full on stockholm syndrome from being in Trumps inner circle for many years, helping to covering up his corruption even as far back as him being sued for his Trump Universities. She sold her soul out for him way before he even ran for office. She is a MAGA lifer.

It is, though. Canadians are North Americans. They’re just not ‘Americans’ from the USA.

Canada’s actually the biggest country in North America.

Eh? No it isn’t

Geographically, the Republic of Ireland is considered part of the British Isles, are we refering to them as British now too?

Crazy to think that there are places in the world and times in history when people like Trump, Bondi et al. would be lynched.

That said, the maga camp are only a couple of political moves away from pulling Saddam Hussein purge move.

Silver lining might be that most dictators dont end well.

Google ‘North America’ and see what you get.

I do a lot of work with the Toronto office of an ad agency. They hate being called Americans, but they refer to themselves as North Americans in sales reports that include the USA and Canada.

Fair enough. Weird trucks

Only bigger if you include the lakes apparently. It looks massive on a map because everything looks bigger the nearer to the poles it is, like Greenland because it’s a sphere flattened out.

I was wrong about Theeve.

Basically the same geometry as Indy, but with a one-piece titanium hanger. Yes, they were light but in real life you don’t actually notice the difference. Meanwhile, solid titanium has a really harsh grind. And they cost a fortune.

But Lurpiv… well, let’s not go there in a news thread.

Is this directed at me? Honestly if I can’t comedically rib someone about their truck habits on a skateboard forum then what’s the point?
