The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum. So I suggest that USA made products such as firearms and ammunition should be sold exclusively within the USA so Canada and Europe can help our esteemed neighbour defend themselves and improve their national security. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

After 35 plus years as a Union Steamfitter, I retired the day I was eligible (end of Nov 2025). Talking to my financial planner, he asked “Now what are you going to do?”.

I’ve worked since I was 12 years old and most of that was laboring of some sort. I don’t know how not to work. I’m up everyday at 4:30am and enjoy routine. My longtime...

I have a safari planned for June and would like to take my Adams&Co hammer double in .577BPE. My stash of .577 bullets has dwindled to not nearly enough to load, practice, and take on safari.

Thanks in advance,
