People whine and complain about Alberta, its oil, and our lousy lousy drivers. I'll take it any day knowing I can find my place on public land in the middle of nowhere knowing I won't get shot at.

So, Italians are dangerous when hunting, and driving cruise ships......anything else we should know before we go on holidays there? How's their driving otherwise?

Don't make fun of Italians wanting to hunt in canada.

My father and his friends introduced hunting to several Italian new Canadians in the 60's in north eastern B.C.

These guys with a ten dollar .303 felt like they were the upper class of Italian society hunting through the Northern Rockies.

As a little kid I watched these new Canadians take a deer, moose or caribou, and process the meat. That included the innards as well. Nothing was wasted.

Mom and Dad liked the wine.

I think that how my sister came along.

Yeah, I think that is how I ended up with 4 daughters as well. Since I like making it, and drinking it, I had to make a decision. So I went to the vet.

Gee.
13 dead and 33 wounded.

Thats more than the Italians took out in the whole of WWII.

They should really consider a Long Gun Registry... that will fix everything.
Maybe Wendy will consider relocating there for a few years while they sort it all out.
