Civil gun owners no threat

Civil gun owners no threat When the federal Conservative government abolished the long-gun registry back in 2012, gun-control advocates predicted no end to the criminal chaos that would result. If duck hunters, farmers and collectors were no longer required to register their rifles and shotguns, women would not be safe in their homes.

The Barbra Schlifer Clinic insisted it was a violation of women’s Charter rights to no longer… View Article

Legendary Jean Beliveau dead at age 83

Legendary Jean Beliveau dead at age 83 It is hard to imagine a classier hockey player, on and off the ice, than Jean Beliveau. A supremely skilled centre for 18 seasons for the Montreal Canadiens, the 83-year-old Beliveau was also a gracious spokesman for the team and the sport.

He scored 507 goals, won 10 Stanley Cups and was captain for 10 seasons before his retirement in 1971, then moved seamlessly into an… View Article

His co-curator, psychology Professor Lawrence Cormack, said, “It’s entirely possible word got around among undergraduates and… View Article
