Dear Scold:
I was rooting through the closets of a recently departed relative looking for keep sakes and I came across his WWII Canadian forces service rifle. He had told us as kids many times how this rifle had defended our Nation against militant Nazism and saved his life and the lives of his comrades. In light of the recent discovery of the vast Nazi conspiracy in Canada, I thought this "nazi buster" would not only be a wonderful memento of my relative but a testament to this nation's original nazi "hunters".
The problem is I'm concerned with all the time, cost, bureaucratic mess and legal liabilities it now takes to be licenced to to own this gun legally.
Any advice?

Dear Albertan Knuckle Dragger,
Real heroes don't need guns -- they quietly scout the washrooms and alleys of this great nation with camera phones at the ready looking for signs of the approaching Nazi hordes. Just be there with your camera where young boys hang out and you'll find Nazis, I guarantee it.
Now about that gun: have it destroyed. It's a symbol of imperialist oppression and all that's wrong with Canada these days. A gun is an instrument of murder, nothing more, nothing less, and certainly nothing to feel any pride in owning. Not that I expect an ignorant redneck like you to understand anything that I'm saying.
If you're not part of the solution you're probably an Albertan!
Ta.

Dear Scold.
Albertans became knuckle draggers when their arms stretched carrying the vast bags of "izzy money" they make from selling their oil so global warming zealots can travel around the globe in style and anti sealing zealots can fuel their yacht excursions to the gulf.
I'm jus sayin'
Dear Dan,
Did you not notice how Al Gore used computer generated imagery of icebergs "calving" in An Inconvenient Truth? Even better, he recycled the graphics from a major motion picture. This saved having to hire a plane to go film the actual event (which was realistically depicted through CGI) and reduced the environmental impact.
Despite what you rightards claim, we progressives are finding new and innovative ways to to reduce our carbon footprint.
Go rape the environment some more, freak. It's all you and your grade eight education are good for.

My 92 year old mother in law, who lives is Sask, recently decided to get rid of a 22 rifle that had been around the house since the days they farmed. So she phoned the RCMP to enquire as to how to do that.
They told her to just"throw it in the garbage".
