I'll bet he's reading something about Che Guevara. Hey! Isn't that kid in the bow of the last canoe wearing a RED shirt?!?!?!

I think he is holding a math book and has two more in the canoe. These are obviously members of the dangerous terrorist organization known as AL-GEBRA.

Here is another pirate of the Caribbean.



Yes, I have purchased jewelry from Anouk.

NB - not my photo. Mine is on a slide somewhere in a box of Kodak Carousels.

Actually, cannons are legal in Canada, which I find strange, as we seem to restrict a lot lessor firearms, often just because of "the look".

It's pretty interesting watching some of the guys perform at many of the blackpowder shoots around the country.

SOME Canadians feel differently about carrying a gun.

I have guns. I have had permits to carry a concealed firearm in the past; I doubt if I will ever be able to get one again.

I know what guns can do, I also know I would forever question myself if I ever killed someone with one. Don't ever push me towards that point if my family is involved.

Not all Canadians believe in the nanny state. BTW, tell the fellow who lived on an acreage (a firearms instructor) whose criminal neighbors were trying to fire bomb his place why having firearms and USING them is a good idea. It took police 20 minutes to get there after he phone in a complaint.

Some on here would prefer he was burned out rather then use a firearm... not me. He did the right thing.

All was captured on tape.
