You can’t buy a gun any more. Yes, you can't buy a gun in Canada legally any more... I spent most of one summer in Montana and came back to listen to a lunatic politician by the name of Lorne Calvert preaching at the university that we would not sell one drop of our precious water to the Americans. What a fool! If the US needs water they are just going to take it, might as well negotiate a good price for it first. We need to recognize the fact Canada would not exist if the U.S. was not immediately south of us. Canada as we are right now cannot even ship oil from Alberta to the west coast to have it shipped out as an unrefined product. Once upon a time we were hewers of wood and haulers of water and we were good at it but not anymore. The phrase “hewers of wood and drawers of water” comes from the Bible, but it was the Canadian economist Harold Innis who used it in his 1930 book, The Fur Trade in Canada, to describe our traditional economic dependence on resource production.
