Individualism, a Reader, edited by George H. Smith and Marilyn Moore, narrated by James Foster. 9. From a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, New York, A.J. Matzel, 1833 Mary Wollstonecraft, 1759 to 1797, was one of the most remarkable and fiercely independent women of her time. She wished to liberate women from the constraints of traditional roles so that they could develop, through the use of reason, their individuality. Although Wollstonecraft expressed ideas that were regarded as radical during the 18th century, many of them have become integral to contemporary views about the importance of female independence. The following is the complete introduction to A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, published in 1792. After considering the historic page and viewing the living world with anxious solicitude, the most melancholy emotions of sorrowful indignation have depressed my spirits, and I have sighed when obliged to confess that either nature has made a great difference between man and man or that the civilization which has hitherto taken place in the world has been very partial. I have turned over various books written on the subject of education and patiently observed the conduct of parents and the management of schools, but what has been the result? A profound conviction that the neglected education of my fellow creatures is the grand source of the misery I deplore and that women in particular are rendered weak and wretched by a variety of concurring causes originating from one hasty conclusion. The conduct and manners of women in fact evidently prove that their minds are not in a healthy state, before, like the flowers that are planted in too rich a soil, strength and usefulness are sacrificed to beauty and the flaunting leaves after having pleased a fastidious eye fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity. One cause of this barren blooming I attribute to a false system of education, gathered from the books written on this subject by men who, considering females rather as women than human creatures, have been more anxious to make them alluring mistresses than affectionate wives and rational mothers and the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this specious homage that the civilized women of the present century with a few exceptions are only anxious to inspire love when they ought to cherish a nobler ambition and by their abilities and virtues exact respect. In a treatise, therefore, on female rights and manners, the works which have been particularly written for their improvement must not be overlooked, especially when it is asserted in direct terms that the minds of women are enfeebled by false refinement, that the books of instruction by men of genius have had the same tendency written as more frivolous productions and that, in the true style of Mohammedanism, they are only considered as females and not as a part of the human species, when improvable reason is allowed to be the dignified distinction which raises men above the brute creation and puts a natural scepter in a feeble hand. Yet, because I am a woman, I would not lead my readers to suppose that I mean violently to agitate the contested question respecting the equality and inferiority of the sex. But as the subject lies in my way and I cannot pass it over without subjecting the main tendency of my reasoning to misconstruction, I shall stop a moment to deliver in a few words my opinion. In the government of the physical world it is observable that the female in general is inferior to the male. The male pursues, the female yields, this is the law of nature and it does not appear to be suspended or abrogated in favor of woman. This physical superiority cannot be denied and it is a noble prerogative but not content with this natural preeminence men endeavor to sink us still lower merely to render us alluring objects for a moment and woman intoxicated by the adoration which men under the influence of their senses pay them do not seek to obtain a durable interest in their hearts or to become the friends of the fellow creatures who find amusement in their society. I am aware of an obvious inference. From every quarter have I heard exclamations against masculine women but where are they to be found? If by this appellation men mean to invade against their arduous and hunting, shooting and gaming I shall most cordially join in the cry but if it be against the imitation of manly virtues or more properly speaking the attainment of those talents and virtues the exercise of which ennobles the human character and which raise females in the scale of animal being when they are comprehensively termed mankind all those who view them with a philosophical I must I should think wish with me that they may every day grow more and more masculine this discussion naturally divides the subject I shall first consider women in the grand light of human creatures who in common with men are placed on this earth to unfold their faculties and afterwards I shall more particularly point out their peculiar designation I wish also to steer clear of an error which many respectable writers have fallen into for the instruction which has hither been addressed to women has rather been applicable to ladies if the little indirect advice that is scattered through Sandford and Merton be accepted but addressing my sex in a firmer tone I pay particular attention to those in the middle class because they appear to be in the most natural state perhaps the seeds of false refinement immorality and vanity have ever been shed by the great weak artificial beings raised above the common wants and affections of their race in a premature unnatural manner undermine the very foundation of virtue and spread corruption through the whole mass of society as a class of mankind they have the strongest claim to pity the education of the rich tends to render them vain and helpless the unfolding mind is not strengthened by the practice of those duties which dignify the human character they only live to amuse themselves and by the same law which in nature invariably produces certain effects they soon only afford barren amusement but as I purpose taking a separate view of the different ranks of society and of the moral character of women in each this hint is for the present sufficient and I have only alluded to the subject because it appears to me to be the very essence of an introduction to give a cursory account of the contents of the work it introduces my own sex I hope will excuse me if I treat them like rational creatures instead of flattering their fascinating graces and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood unable to stand alone I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity in human happiness consists I wish to persuade women to endeavor to acquire strength both of mind and body and to convince them that the soft phrases susceptibility of heart delicacy of sentiment and refinement of taste are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness and that those beings who are only the objects of pity and that kind of love which has been termed its sister will soon become objects of contempt dismissing then those pretty feminine phrases which the men condescendingly used to soften our slavish dependence and despising that weak elegance of mind exquisite sensibility and sweet docility of manners and to be the sexual characteristics of the weaker vessel I wish to show that elegance is inferior to virtue that the first object of laudable ambition is to obtain a character as a human being regardless of the distinction of sex and that secondary views should be brought to this simple touchstone this is a rough sketch of my plan and should I express my conviction with the energetic emotions that I feel whenever I think of the subject the dictates of experience and reflection will be felt by some of my readers animated by this important object I shall disdain to cull my phrases or polish my style I aim at being useful and sincerity will render me unaffected for wishing rather to persuade by the force of my arguments than dazzle by the elegance of my language I shall not waste my time in rounding periods nor in fabricating the turgid bombast of artificial feelings which coming from the head never reach the heart I shall be employed about things not words and anxious to render my sex more respectable members of society I shall try to avoid that flower addiction which has slided from essays into novels and from novels into familiar letters and conversation these pretty nothings, these caricatures of the real beauty of sensibility dropping glibly from the tongue, vitiate the taste and create a kind of sickly delicacy that turns away from simple unadorned truth and a deluge of false sentiments and overstretched feelings stifling the natural emotions of the heart render the domestic pleasures insipid that ought to sweeten the exercise of those severe duties which educate a rational and immortal being for a nobler field of action the education of women has of late been more attended to than formerly yet they are still reckoned a frivolous sex and ridiculed or pitied by the writers who endeavor by satire or instruction to improve them it is acknowledged that they spend many of the first years of their lives acquiring a smattering of accomplishments meanwhile strength of body and mind are sacrificed to libertine notions of beauty to the desire of establishing themselves the only way women can rise in the world by marriage and this desire making mere animals of them when they marry they act as such children may be expected to act they dress, they paint and nickname God's creatures surely these weak beings are only fit for the Seralio can they govern a family or take care of the poor babes whom they bring into the world if then it can be fairly deduced from the present conduct of the sex from the prevalent fondness for pleasure which takes place of ambition and those nobler passions that open and enlarge the soul that the instruction which women have received has only tended with the constitution of civil society to render them insignificant objects of desire mere propagators of fools if it can be proved that in aiming to accomplish them without cultivating their understandings they are taken out of their sphere of duties and made ridiculous and useless when the short-lived bloom of beauty is over I presume that rational men will excuse me for endeavoring to persuade them to become more masculine and respectable indeed the word masculine is only a bugbear there is little reason to fear that women will acquire too much courage or fortitude for their apparent inferiority with respect to bodily strength must render them in some degree dependent of men in the various relations of life but why should it be increased by prejudices that give a sex to virtue and confound simple truths with sensual reveries women are in fact so much degraded by mistaken notions of female excellence that I do not mean to add a paradox when I assert that this artificial weakness produces a propensity to tyrannize and gives birth to cunning the natural opponent of strength which leads them to play off those contemptible infantile heirs that undermine esteem even whilst they excite desire do not foster these prejudices and they will naturally fall into their subordinate yet respectable station in life it seems scarcely necessary to say that I now speak of the sex in general many individuals have more sense than their male relatives and has nothing preponderates where there is a constant struggle for an equilibrium without it has naturally more gravity some women govern their husbands without degrading themselves because intellect will always govern this has been

Each course then organized in a logical reasonable fashion making it much more easy to find what you need then can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. When we're thinking of a costing system we're probably in the section where we're talking about in this case of course a process cost system if you see this outside of the context of a process cost system then it might be a little bit more confusing to think about what are they talking about a hybrid costing system so we can think that well it's a costing system so we're talking about a costing system here then therefore the two major costing systems that we want to default to all the time for a manufacturing type of company would be the process cost and the job cost system so typically that those are the two costing systems so we might want to start off if we see a discussion question or if we see an essay question that we're considering here a manufacturing type company typically and we're thinking about the costing methods of inventory or the production of inventory typically and the two major costing methods usually we think of them separately first just like we do with everything right we try to break everything out as if they're completely opposites or completely different because we want to compare and contrast to you know extreme points but in reality there could be of course situations where we would have some kind of hybrid between the two and that's going to be the case with many many different things that we tend we tend to break out into their extremes but in real reality they might be more somewhat of a continuum rather than one thing versus the other thing so in this case we have the job cost system and we have the process cost system those are the two major types of systems that we would have the job cost system typically used when we have different types of inventory that are totally different in nature and therefore we're going to track that inventory by particular job of the process cost system typically being in the case where we're making a lot of things that are all the same in nature and therefore we can have a process cost system and try to mass produce those items and therefore need to track things not by job but by process now you can think of a lot of different types of situations where you might say well what if I'm making something that needs some process costing stuff and some job cost stuff so if we're customizing something it may well be the case that we're actually tracking some of our inventory as it goes through work in process with a job cost and some with a process cost so for example if you think about something like a computer then you might say well maybe because some components of the computer all going to be the same you know they're all the same in all the computers and so maybe we crank that out in a process cost type system and then we'll say that some other parts of the computers might be customized such as the putting it together piece someone might make an order in a just-in-time system or something and we got to take all the pieces and put them together and that'll be customer different and that's going to have to apply to a particular job well in that case then we'd have to say all right well now we've basically got a process cost system to make all the pieces that are all going to be the same because obviously we want to do that in a process cost system and then we're going to have the job cost system set up when someone makes an order we can customize that order to a particular job possibly and make some type of job cost system and you could see that scenario in a different in a lot of different areas so I mean if we're making even if we're making some kind of custom cars or something like that or surfboards or something like that if we were actually to make the foam of the surfboard to produce it instead of buying it or something like that then the production of the materials would be the same the foam would be the same and then we would customize the shape of it and all that kind of stuff that would be custom that we might need some hybrid method there if we had custom cars or go-carts or something like that and we were actually producing the parts you can see that you know the product the production of a lot of the parts would then be standardized and we might customize some of the some of the process in terms of what people specifically want in in the car or the cart or whatever we have so we can see a lot of different types of situations where we might actually use some type of hybrid method especially in those areas where we're producing components of our our end product so for producing the components rather than just buying the components things like actually the hardware in the computer rather than just buying it and putting it together then you can see that we would have the process of putting together and we would have the process of the production of those components one being mass production type of format process costing the other being customized type of format job costing


In this step we're going to start putting things inside the room and we're going to start by creating a crate Which gives us another brilliant excuse to create a cube a dual of cubes So as I said earlier, I'm going to show you different ways of doing things and this time We're going to create a cube using the hot box and what the hot box is It's something that the Maya pros use so that they can turn off all their menus and give themselves more screen space So when you press and hold the space bar, it brings up the the Maya Menus for you in this way and you'll see that within this you can click on create and you will have to click and hold when you're using this and Then from the polygon primitives section, you can choose cube just like we did earlier, but we're getting it from a different place now and There is our cube What you'll want to do with that cube is just move it up a little bit because it's stuck in the floor and Then what I want you to do is we're going to resize it. We're going to reshape it a little bit We're going to move it into the corner of the room. We're going to rotate it a little bit as well So we're going to use the three main tools all together here. So First thing I'll do is I'll turn on the scale tool and This works in the same way that the move tool does You've got your three manipulators here and they will scale it on just one axis at a time like that or you can use these squares over here and That will scale it on two axes at once leaving alone the one axis that it kind of represents Or you can scale from the middle and that will scale on all three axes at once and often when you're scaling It is a good idea to use that middle manipulator So I'm going to do is just scale up slightly like that and I'm also just going to make it slightly kind of oblong just so it's not a perfect cube and I'm going to move it down just so it's kind of just up above the floor and then move it over to one corner of the room and Then I'm going to just rotate it Now the rotate tool again works Similarly to the other two you've got three colored lines representing which which axis using so if I click on this one representing the z axis There it goes. It rotates on just the one axis Same for this red one representing the x-axis and in this case I want to rotate it on y just so it's not perfectly in line with the the walls of the room What you can do is you can rotate on this circle here Which will kind of rotate it based on the camera or Even worse is you can click somewhere in between those lines and it'll just rotate on all three axes at once Which is just awful because you've lost control then you can't really rotate it in one direction It could it could go all over the place. So I don't recommend that you do that So that's that crate in place So we've created it. We have resized it moved it and rotated it That leaves the last thing to do is renaming it So we're going to go to p-cube one and I'm just going to call this one Great and that's that step complete


Key to a restorative approach are the insights that have actually long been known and shared by the people who've always lived in and with this land and we stand here today on unceded Mi'gma territory And we're very grateful to be hosted and mindful that we are being hosted on this land by the Mi'gma people. Following the prayer during the smudge I will be fortunate enough to have the drummers offer us a welcome song and I'd ask maybe that you would rise now as we receive this prayer and welcome and hear the welcome song. Mother Earth and where our heart sits Taking place on unceded Mi'gma territory Great spirit and good creator of all things. We honor you with this prayer We are the descendants of the many people you so long ago chose to live in harmony on Turtle Island We give thanks for allowing us all to gather here today Good creator more than ever we need your strength your guidance and truth Give us the ability to recognize and use the gifts and teachings you have provided Help us pass the virtues of respect and sharing to others We direct our attention to the life forces on Mother Earth She has given birth to all animal creatures and to all plants that nourish us. For this for this we give thanks We ask that you allow those who are experiencing Adversity and difficulty in their lives to find peace and comfort We pray for our Mother Earth so that she may recover from the many wounds that we have inflicted upon her We pray for the good of our nations our communities our elders our families our leaders and our medicine people Creator we ask these things so that we may see the healing of your people and this land all my relations


time for member statements. I recognize the member from the Hallyberts and Quarther Bronx. We celebrate the anniversaries of two amazing organizations in my writing at Hallyberts and Quarther Lakes Bronx. In Bob Cajun, the Boyd Heritage Museum celebrated their 25th anniversary. They've spent over two decades working to preserve the economic, social, and political legacy of Moss and Boyd who arrived in Upper Canada in 1833 and became known as the Lumber King of the Trent Valley. The history of he and his family are catalogued artifacts from all significant points in his life, from humble beginnings to national and international success, from tools and log shanties to gorgeous 19th century gowns and dresses. The collections are so exquisite the exhibit is known as the Downton Abbey of Bob Cajun. Barb has been at the helm of this fantastic museum which has allowed the community of Bob Cajun and the Quarther Lakes region to remain connected to their history. In the town of Lindsay, the Lindsay Lions Club celebrated their 70th anniversary. The Lions are made up of dedicated men and women who commit their time to help those less fortunate by working with local organizations such as the Ross Memorial Hospital, the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Salvation Army Foodbanks, Five Counties Children's Treatment Centre, and more to deliver help to those in need. It was heartwarming to see so many volunteers of the community passionate about their service and their youngest lioness, Ellie, the future of this wonderful program is in good and capable hands. I'd like to wish them 70 more years of success. Thank you, Madam Speaker. On the day before Pride Month, my message is simple. The Pride flag should fly in every school board in Ontario tomorrow. We are hearing from queer organisers and communities that they are braced for the possibility of violent protests and demonstrations linked to the rising hate targeting the two SLGBTQ plus community across Canada. In Ontario, we don't have to look far to find examples of this as the York Catholic Board decided this week to not fly the Pride flag this June, and this backlash is not just about pride and queer rights. School boards across the province, including in Waterloo, are facing pushback as they work to accomplish equity work. I might add that that is not only important in terms of students of success, but also mandated by the Ministry. Every student in Ontario deserves to feel safe and welcome, and they deserve access to visibility and support. Yesterday the Premier offered a no comment on this issue. The Minister himself, the Minister of Education, expressed his disappointment. I want to tell the Minister your disappointment does not help queer kids feel safer at school. I'll reiterate, the Pride flag should fly in every school board in Ontario tomorrow.  The Ontario NDP is proud to stand with the two SLGBTQ plus community. The Member from Newmark, Aurora. Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I'd like to talk about having the honour of attending Girls Incorporated York Region Spirit of the Girl Breakfast last Friday in my riding in Newmarket. Girls Think York Region focuses on supporting the resilience of young girls and women and has served my community for over 40 years. Their research based programs encourage girls to thrive socially, academically and emotionally in an affirming environment, providing gender specific support to girls of all backgrounds. It was my privilege to announce at the breakfast on Friday that our government has funded this meaningful work with two grants totaling over $400,000 through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. This will help expand their innovative after-school programs to three new schools, as well as to help increase their capacity to support girls and young women in York Region. Specifically, this funding will enable them to expand staff training, provide a social worker for counseling and wellness checks and expand fundraising efforts. I am so happy to see Girls Inc. York Region empowering girls and young women to meet emotional and academic challenges with resilience, especially those who face various barriers. I am proud that our government will help them expand this crucial work. Thank you to Girls Inc. for making sure no girl is left behind. Thank you. Member Statements, the Member for Spadina for York. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The federal government has declared the first Friday in June the national day against gun violence. But we need to stop work to stop gun violence at the provincial level as well. Today I will be tabling a bill to also declare the first Friday in June the provincial day against gun violence in Ontario. Gun violence shatters lives and traumatizes communities. The number of shootings is rising from 251 in 2005, which was dubbed the year of the gun, to 365 last year. And these are only Toronto statistics. Gun violence, like a virus, is spreading across the province. On Friday, a number of community groups will be at Queens Park to ask the Ontario government to address gun violence through a program of prevention, intervention, and healing. Prevention begins with addressing the root cause of gun and other community violence, which is poverty and the growing gap between rich and poor. We're calling on the government to raise the minimum wage, double ODSP and OW rates, and to build affordable housing so everyone has a home. Intervention requires the police, but as the police say themselves, they alone cannot solve this issue. You cannot arrest your way out of gun violence. Healing means we must deal with the trauma coming out of each episode of gun violence before it spirals into a vicious cycle of revenge. We need to prevent, intervene, and help communities to heal. I hope the legislature will support my call to declare the first Friday in June the provincial day against gun violence in Ontario. Thank you very much. Member Statements. The Member for Barrie, Innisfree. Thank you, Speaker. I want to congratulate the Season Centre for Grieving Children, which is based in Barrie, Ontario, who received the 2022-23 Attorney General's Victim Service Awards of Distinction from our Attorney General, Minister Doug Downey. The Season Centre for Grieving Children offers services at no cost to families and opens its doors to participants aged 5 to 24. The Centre lies totally on fundraising and generous corporate and personal donations. Season Centre for Grieving Children is extremely pleased that they've received this award, and I'm pleased to welcome them here today. They're joined today by Hope from Season Centre, who's been travelling, and it's their mascot. She's been travelling around many places in hopes to raise awareness of childhood grief. The Season Centre has done a lot of work, and this afternoon I hope many people will be able to meet Hope to spread the word for children experiencing grief and learn more of how they can bring these great services to their own community. So today we have members in the gallery, Raleigh, Rami, Joanna Stockley, who do so much work for the Centre helping families and children, and I hope everyone here can join me for a round of applause to thank them for all the work they and their team does. Thank you. Thank you very much. Member Stevens, Member for Windsor West. Thank you, Speaker. One Code Red, Black, or Zero is one too many. That means few or no ambulances or paramedics are available to respond to emergencies. Another Code Black was called in my community again just last night. Under this Conservative Government, Code Blacks, Reds and Zeros are becoming normal, and that is not acceptable. Ontarians deserve to have the confidence that if they have a medical emergency, they can call 911 and receive help quickly. Paramedics are burning out at an alarming rate, and this government isn't taking necessary steps to help our crumbling healthcare system. In fact, they are actively making this situation worse. The staffing crisis in hospitals leads to longer wait times to transfer patients to the care of nurses and doctors. Paramedics are held up in the hospitals instead of being on the road to save more lives. Bill 124 must be repealed today. Last week was Paramedic Services Week. I think every paramedic in Windsor Essex and across the province for their dedication to serving our communities. In October 2022, my NDP colleague, MPP Shaw, tabled a motion calling on the Conservative Government to provide necessary funding than instances when ambulances are unavailable to respond to an emergency. The motion passed unanimously. However, in March 2023, the Financial Accountability Officer reported that the government is withholding $6.4 billion in much-needed support. The Conservative Government must honour their promise, properly fund our public healthcare systems, support front-line healthcare workers so they aren't doing their jobs without adequate support, and ensure Code Reds, Blacks and Zeros are not the normal on Ontario because lives depend on it. Thank you very much. Members' statements? Oh. Nope. Nope. Kitchener Conestoga. Well, it's very good. Thank you, Speaker. It is, of course, with great pride that I rise today. And for the first time in franchise history, the Wellesley Applejacks are the Schmaltz Cup champions. Wellesley willed their way to the Ontario Junior C Championship with a 3-2 win over Clarington Eagles earlier this month. Noah Bender, a rookie goalie for the Applejacks, was named Tournament MVP. Congratulations to Coach Ryan Gerber and the rest of the staff, and, of course, their great leadership. Thank you to the players, fans, volunteers, and sponsors that made this historic season possible. They had a hero's welcome in Wellesley earlier this week, complete with a firetruck escort through the streets for their championship parade, Mr. Speaker. We have a lot to celebrate in Wellesley. As we are set to open a new and improved Wellesley arena next year, the community centre will feature a hockey rink, two soccer pitches, spaces for a youth drop-in centre and senior centre, a walking track and a gymnasium. The province is contributing over $16 million for the roughly $22 million facility. We got the arena built together, but you guys got us a banner to raise. Speaker, I have one question for you. How do you like them, Applejacks? Member Staples. The member for Beaches East York. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. And wonderful Wednesday, everyone. There is nothing guzzier than a gutsy walk. The Crohn's and Collitis Society of Ontario does amazing work supporting people suffering from this chronic illness. Over 300,000 Canadians already have it, with someone new being diagnosed with Crohn's or Collitis every hour in Canada. There are no known curers for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and that is why we need to walk. For my family, this debilitating disease is quite personal, as my powerful and passionate daughter, Becca, was first diagnosed with Crohn's at 16. She has learned to live with this diagnosis, navigating health care systems both in Ontario and British Columbia, traveling through Asia, working, studying, and trying to live a full life. She is now 23 and realizes that she will never fully be able to plan ahead in life, as Crohn's has a way of flaring up just when you least expect it.  Today, I would like to encourage my fine weather colleagues to take a part in this tremendously important crusade this Sunday, June 4th, 10 a.m., all over Ontario. Be gutsy. Join the gutsy walk. Thank you very much. Member statements, the member for Essex. Mr. Speaker, today I have a very sad statement. Today I'm paying tribute to deceased OPP officer, Stephen Taranjo, who was killed in an unobovial accident this week. Stephen Taranjo was a native of Essex County. He entered law enforcement and last held the rank of Detective Constable with the Huron County OPP. He was 35. He has survived by his wife, Danica, and his three sons, Everett, Luke, and Drew. My wife, Jackie, and Stephen were first cousins. Stephen's mother and my wife's mother are sisters, and I know this family very well. Stephen's father, Marcel Taranjo, is a loving pepe with a big heart. Stephen's mother, Kathy Taranjo, is a dedicated memme with a heart of gold. They are good people, beautiful people, and this is a tragic loss. Today my heart goes out to the family and to all the grieving parents who have lost a child before their time. Thank you. Member statements, the member for Perth Wellington. Thank you, Speaker. On Monday, May 29th, Stephen Taranjo donned the uniform of the Ontario Provincial Police ready to serve and safeguard our rural communities. Regrettably, Speaker, Stephen's return home was not to be. Detective Constable Taranjo, a valued member of the OPP Perth County Detachment, an integral part of the Huron Perth Community Street Crime Unit met a tragic fate. His life was abruptly cut short in a devastating collision between his police cruiser and his school bus in Zora Township. At the age of 35, we mourn the untimely loss of Constable Taranjo, a loss that reverberates deeply through our community and the Ontario on the entire Perth County OPP Detachment. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Danica, and their three young boys. Speaker, it's incumbent upon us to acknowledge that we can never fully repay the debt we owe to our first responders. Those stalwart individuals who place themselves in harm's way each and every day to safeguard our well-being. Let us also remember the tragic fate of David Stewart, the school bus driver who met an untimely end. For over a decade, David dedicated his days to driving school bus, his second act following a successful career as a motorcycle and small engine mechanic. He leaves behind his cherished wife and best friend, Wendy, whom he shared 47 years with. David was a loving father to four daughters and a source of immense pride as a grandfather. My thoughts and prayers go out to both families, burdened with unimaginable grief during this difficult time. I want to let them know that the people of Ontario stand united, offering our support and unwavering solidarity. Thank you, Speaker. Thank you very much.


Today I wanted to chat a bit and bring up some interesting questions, some things that I suggest that you consider when you're thinking about buying your first gun for personal protection. And it is currently August 2020 and this year has seen a lot of, I don't know, advancement in aggressive government action, and of course that's gonna lead to some civil unrest and such, and we've had a lot of people coming out and taking classes and they're interested in getting the first gun ever, live in big cities, and they don't have a good knowledge of different firearms, and we've been asked by many people, what kind of gun should I get? What should I do? And so you'll find a lot of videos like this one offering ideas on the best gun, and a lot of those have to do with the quality of the gun and how well it functions, etc. What I'm gonna focus on are some less frequently asked questions, and the first one is why are you interested in having a gun? What do you think you're gonna shoot with it? What's the highest probability of somebody that you're gonna shoot with it? And one would be, a common one would be well, what if the inner city folks come out into the suburbs or further and there are these large mobs of people going house to house attacking. So that's one concern that we sometimes hear. Another is that just a single person or a small group of people from the wrong side of town come into your nice subdivision, past the gates and try to break into your house. So that would be another possibility. Another one is United Nations soldiers that are paired with United States Marines, and they're sent door to door to force people to take vaccinations, and there are a large group of people that think that and I'm not gonna take a political opinion on this, but there are a large group of people in the United States that think that people own their own bodies and the government shouldn't be able to force people to put certain things in their bodies even if the government want to, and so that is a legitimate concern that we've heard. So what if the UN soldier and the the Marine show up at your doorstep? Is that who you plan to shoot? So and these are tough questions what I'm asking you. Is that somebody you would be willing to shoot? Is that somebody that or would you look and say oh has a the flag that I grew up saluting or pledging to? That's on his shoulder, so I'm not gonna shoot this person and and these are questions that you have to come to terms with before you decide decide what your strategy, what your equipment is for personal protection for self-defense. What about a race war? I've been hearing about that a lot. There are certainly groups out there that are trying to make black and white and Mexican people all hate each other and and think that the other is out to get them and there are a lot of people trying to stir that up and there's some some violence going on. There's a lot of pro-Marxist, very very different groups that are really into into pushing their agendas and and violence is is probable. People of a different political leaning, right? Do you think they're gonna attack you? So I guess what I'm what I'm saying is who is it you think you're gonna use this gun against and if you do think that the most likely person you would have to use the gun against would be a government agent, are you really gonna do that?  Is that really something you're willing to do? And I don't have the correct answers, but that is getting kind of serious territory. Philosophically the answer is easy, but when we get to what we would really truly do in the real world I don't know. What state do you live in? What city do you live in? The reason those questions are important are that different states have different rules and different cities within different states, they have additional rules. So if you would like to have a an anti-rape 15, AR 15, then it kind of depends on where you live, whether or not you can have one of those. And if you live in a place that it's likely to be illegal within the next year or two or five, then perhaps that isn't the best choice because you won't be able to have it as long. If on the other hand you live in a place like Wyoming or Montana, Nevada, then there's a chance you'll be able to have that longer. Now am I suggesting that if you live in a outside of the United States, in a place that that is not, doesn't believe that women have a right to have a gun to defend themselves, Chicago, California, New York, the places like that, Massachusetts. If you live in a place like that, might it be smarter to have a single action revolver that will be legal for another 10, 20, 30, 40 years compared to an AR 15 that might only be legal for another five or 10 years or 15 years at best, or maybe isn't even legal now. So that's a consideration. Which one is more effective?  Well, AR 15 is certainly a better defensive gun. But if you can't have it as long, that's one thing to consider. Are you a felon? If you're a felon or you're otherwise prohibited from having a firearm, just don't do it. It's not worth it. Just forget about it and then find another way to protect yourself. Another question is how sure are you that you would obey every law, every order that's given to you. If you receive an order that says you had to report on your IRS form, any Christians or Jews or Black people or Mexican people or white people that live in your neighborhood, would you report that? Or would you refuse to do that? And so the reason I'm asking that is what's what about this next question? What if the IRS form in the next few years asks how many firearms do you or members of your household own? Are you going to answer that honestly? Or you can do the old joke of, yeah, lost all of my guns in Bitcoin in a boating accident. Are you going to be honest and tell the government how many guns you have? There are organizations like the Jews for the preservation of firearms ownership that argue that some people in that organization argue that it would be wise for everybody to have a couple guns that are not registered, that no government entity knows that they have. And that's one argument that some people make. But if you're told to turn your guns in or to give an inventory of them so that they can be taken later, are you going to do this? Are you going to comply or are you not? Just another thing to think about as you decide. And if the case is that you are not going to turn them in, if you're told, hey, you're a Jew, you're not allowed to have guns, and I'm just trying to pick something in the last hundred years that's happened.  And I'm not saying that it's okay to fight against Hitler or any other government ruler. I'm not making, I'm not having opinions here. I'm just saying, if that's something that you think that you could be a targeted group in future years, many people that think that way would say that it's wise to have a gun that isn't registered, wasn't purchased through the normal federal firearms license system, where you fill out a 4473 form. When you're asked, and it's kind of tied into this, if you're ever asked on an insurance document, how many guns are there in the household, or how many guns are owned by members of your household, are you going to answer that honestly? If you don't, maybe you're violating a federal HIPAA, not HIPAA, but some federal medical law of lying to a doctor and the doctor has to ask you this question, or who knows, but just kind of decide whether or not you're going to be honest about that, or if you want to be a little bit black-markety and keep something hidden for yourself. So we've already talked about which gun would be most legal for the most years, and for this reason, I actually honestly think if you live in New York or California, having that double-barreled shotgun that firearms trainer Joe Biden years ago suggested, all you need is a double-barreled shotgun.  I'm not saying you shoot it in the air to make them run away. Discharging a firearm in most housing areas is not legal or prudent, if you're shooting in the air, but having a double-barreled shotgun, especially if it has a goose engraved on the side of it, and you have some duck hunting clothing right beside it, then it just looks like you're in a fluent hunter. People with money are generally not targeted. White people with money are generally not targeted for gun confiscations as much as people of color, especially younger people of color.  And I don't like this. I don't like that. It's racist. Don't like it, but that's how gun laws in the U.S. started. It was a racial thing. They wanted to get guns away from black people, make it illegal for black people to have guns, and that's how gun laws got started here. So I don't like it, but we have to kind of be honest with ourselves and not be politically correct and say, what is your situation?  You're pulled over way more frequently. You have some tattoos from the old days. I don't know. It's a tougher choice if you want to bend any gun rules or not. I'm not suggesting that anybody ever bend any gun rules, but if you did think, hey, I'd like to have one to protect myself, maybe I want to get something that has a magazine with larger capacity. I don't know. Think about it. Think about your unique situation. Another thing to consider is who is the weakest, physically the weakest and least experienced in shooting person that could use your gun? So even if you plan to be the big tough defender of your household, if you have a spouse who has smaller and weaker hands and is not used to shooting and is afraid of guns, the 357 Magnum lightweight gun that you think you can handle, okay, maybe your spouse can't. And that gun would be absolutely useless because your spouse is afraid to use it. Whereas if you had a .22 caliber, your spouse would feel very comfortable using it and shoots very well with it. I'm not saying that I'm suggesting .22 caliber over 357 Magnums, but it's a consideration. If you're going to have one gun, it's kind of a good idea to make sure it's something that everybody in your household that could possibly use it. Make sure that it's something that they can handle that they're comfortable with and that they know how to use. How much time are you going to spend training? How much are you willing to dedicate? Are you willing to dedicate two minutes a day to dry fire practice at your house or five minutes for five days a week and then one day a week you go to the range for an hour? Are you willing to do that? Or are you going to go and shoot once a year? The reason this is an important question is that if you're only going to go and shoot once a year, 20 shots, then no, you might not be as good at handling a semi-automatic handgun as you would a pump-action shotgun or a double-barreled shotgun. If you're not mechanically inclined and you never practice, maybe you need something simpler. I don't like revolvers, but if that's easy for you to point and click with, maybe that's the best bet if you're not going to practice a lot and keep your skills up. And then finally for this segment, I'll probably toss out some more questions as time goes by that are maybe ones that other people haven't tossed out there. Another one is the size of the cartridge. People will say a .22 caliber is too small for personal protection and you need to have at least a .38 special or a 9 millimeter. And I agree that the .38 special or 9 millimeter are way better for shooting assailants. However, a Q-tip is not as good of a defensive weapon as a .22 caliber. .22 caliber is not as good as a 9 millimeter.  If you're not able to shoot the 9 millimeter well, but you can shoot the .22 caliber well, maybe that is a better option for you. And yes, I know a 250 pound drugged up dude coming at you with a leather coat on, I know the .22 caliber isn't going to do the same amount of damage stopping power. It's not going to be as effective as a .460 Smith and Wesson Magnum. Well, unless it's an actual Smith and Wesson revolver, in that case it probably won't work. But if it's another large caliber powerful gun, if you can't shoot it well, maybe it's worth going down a size or two.  But if you have something bigger and you don't shoot it because you're afraid of it. Yeah, maybe something smaller would have been the best bet. So again, I'm not giving you answers for any of these. I'm simply asking questions. I suggest that you think about these questions and they're going to be very unique to you and your situation. And I stand ready to answer your emails. If you have questions about this stuff, I'm more than happy to help you hone in on something. I don't sell guns, but I'm more than happy to make suggestions and help you along the path. I think defending oneself and defending one's family is kind of important for humans and other critters. And there are some effective tools out there to do it today, guns.  And I'd love to help you. Thank you for taking the time to consider these things and look forward to seeing you on the range.
