Re: Canada bans assault rifles.
Ban doesn't apply to aboriginals.
Despite Trudeau telling us these types of guns have no purpose other than to kill people. Natives are allowed to keep them for hunting.
Pointless, populist legislation just like the failed long gun registry that does nothing but keep the liberal urbanites happy.

Yes, sad news to hear. His Dave and Morley stories were a hoot: Canadiana at their core. And his delivery of them was brilliant. Part of me wants those stories to die with him as no-one else could do them justice. His live performances were class. Like Nieghorn, I had no idea he was on the way out.
