Canada used to have a problem with gun owners selling their handguns on the black market. We are talking about Canadians with a valid PAL licence.

They purchased guns. Sold them. Profit. Easy as pie.

The good news? That problem is now over. It’s not happening anymore. The price of handguns on the black market has increased, which is a good sign.

The bad news? Most guns are now only coming from the United States. And the United States doesn’t want to address the problem.

New Zealand is in real trouble. They face the worst housing crisis in the Western World.

Basically, they don’t build anything at all.

They had a decent woman that tried to turn things around. But Jacynda Aerdern told them to limit travel and wear masks during a global pandemic. She saved countless lives. But conspiracy theorists freaked out and called her evil.

Now they have a government of right-wing clowns.

I’m a very simple man. I see a media owned by Rupert Murdoch.

I downvote immediately.

For those of you who don’t pay attention to history, The Times should have never been purchased by Rupert Murdoch. It was against UK law because he already owned News of the world and The Sun.

But Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made a secret deal with Murdoch, behind the back of her own government. She allowed him to purchase The Times. In exchange, he promised to support her.
