fanfan, thanks for the ping.

Hos83, thought area code 519 was Windsor, big time Liberal area. Also, didn't think handguns were allowed in Canada. I know we can't take any firearms across the bridge/tunnel from Detroit

519 includes Windsor and London, but also Essex, Kent, Lambton, Oxford, Huron, Perth, Elgin and other rural counties, which are quite conservative.

I just read where the Canadian government has placed a large order of white flags with a French company.

Yep. This stunt of theirs will cost them the marginal ridings they kept in the last election in rural and northern Ontario. Its still to early to say how that will go down with voters in the suburban 905 area surrounding Toronto.

I know we can't take any firearms across the bridge/tunnel from Detroit

The Canada Border Services Agency is responsible for deciding whether to let a non-resident bring a firearm into Canada. As a general rule, non-residents may bring a non-restricted rifle or shotgun into Canada for approved purposes such as hunting, target shooting, wilderness protection or in-transit movement by a reasonably direct route to another point outside Canada.

Restricted firearms (mainly handguns and some semi-automatic long guns) can generally only be imported if the person can demonstrate a need for having the firearms in Canada – for example to take part in an organized target-shooting event.

No, Windsor is big time NDP. They are left of the Liberal Party. They are "loud and proud" socialists of the class war strain.

Also, the so called handgun ban in Canada is liberal wishful thinking baloney (for now). You just need the proper paperwork to bring in handguns to Canada and it needs to be for sporting purposes. Getting a "restricted weapons" license in Canada is very doable. Don't believe otherwise. Yes there are hoops to jump, but it is very similar to the CCW classes in Michigan. Same criteria and standards also. Stricter storage laws in Canada of course, and you have to be a collector, hobbyist, or sport shooter to get a gun, but you're gonna go to the range once in awhile anyways so it isn't a problem. You cannot state that you are buying it for personal protection unless you know the right people. Its vert discretionary as is concealed carry in Canada. Judges and the like can only get those.
