Or maybe Barbie Rifles????
Ack! Just knowing my 5 and 10 year old granddaughters have to do lockdown drills in school makes my toes curl. Kindergartners having to worry about getting shot!! FFS. Wish they lived over here.

I wonder if the craziness continues, whether Canada will experience an influx of American immigrants?
I fear for my grandkids too Annie. Sometimes I'm glad the youngest lives in Europe as sometimes I think she is safer over there. As far as lock down drills, remember when we were in grade school and had to hide under our desks for those bomb attack drills? I forget exactly what they called them. Those were scary. My husband said when he was a little boy he used to lay awake at night worrying about bomb attacks and things like that.Ack!

Annie, our immigration laws are stricter than they used to be. However, Canada always needs skilled workers.

Do you really think your posts make sense? Try proofreading before you post.
Thanks, but I know was opt means. I'm quite happy to live in a country where everyone isn't armed to the teeth, even the cops. If you bothered to look in the right corner you'll see that I'm from the US and live in Scotland.
Shali, don't know about you but this is just getting to be too much work. I'm outta here. Talk to yourself rt3.nthego:

Annie in 2010, new skilled worker laws went into effect in Canada, re immigration. They benefited most those Americans under thirty five. The older you are the more difficult it is to be accepted. Apparently Brits are taking advantage also. it is all on a point system, the higher the points the easier it is. While speaking English is paramount, speaking French no longer as much so. I can't find immigration stats for later than 2010, but apparently it continues to rise.
Ameri (affectionate diminutive)! sorry about that, one of your previous posts says you weren't in the U.S. Took it to mean
You had given up U.S. Citizenship. Your posts are sometimes difficult to decifer.
I remember doing duck and cover but not being afraid. It just seemed to be some far away possiblity of a bomb, not the very real life stuff that hits you in the face in the US. Kids can't possibly escape hearing about the mass murders, or murders of young kids in schools. So to many they will live in fear and wonder if their school is next.
Gimme a break. Don't give me that affectionate cr*p.
No, I have not given up US citizenship. I have dual citizenship.
ameri sometimes it's really hard to decide.
Bet that in the face stuff is everyday in Syria, Egypt,Ethiopia,most of Iran. Israel lives with it everyday. Could go on. It is not a perfect world.
Basically we're surrounded by urban sprawl. You aren't really worried about being the target of gun violence. A worry is being accidently in the way. You go into public places and just for a moment try to figure out all the exits.
MalcolmX did that in restaurants. Mike Wallace talked about it when he interviewed him. I think Jimmy Hoffa, too, though I may be mistaken.Just a wise security precaution / tactical positioning.
