Federal Minister broke law over whale hunt

So, what you want to do, is let an animal that has been wounded (legally) during the hunt and crossed into Canadian waters, die and sink to the bottom of the ocean, unused?

Then, since they still don't have the whale meat they need, they must kill another one. Two whales dead, unless of course that one also decides to die in Candian waters, then we can jump up to three...

Are you sure you guys care about whales??

Anti-tank gun?? Gee, that's not what I heard... does this mean that the .50 calibre muzzleloader at the local Sam's store is also an 'anti-tank' gun?

<snipt rest of rubbish>

Yes, everything I've seen about that 50 caliber rifle was that it is of a type derived from an *early* anti-tank gun - more probably back in the 1930's. That's about the only time I can think of when that sort of rifle would have done anything to a tank. It's a wonderful propaganda misstatement, though, on the lines of my calling a crossbow a 'castle assault weapon'.

Hmm... I always thought that longbows did a better job at that... countered, of course by the hot oil treatment for the hair once the assailants came too close.
