Not really much to discuss but the other week I was shocked to find out more people drown every year in Canada than die in firearms incidents. Just thought it was a neat little fact.

Ban bodies of water

Right! With lakes being deadlier than firearms I have a perfect reason to not try and face my fear of water.

Let's subsidise a lifeguard for every single body of water in Canada, make it illegal to drown, and create a water possession and acquisition licence so people don't take water and make prohibited lakes. The big lakes should be non-restricted and all small bodies of water should be restricted because they are easy to conceal. We should also limit the number of swimmers at any pool or swimming area to 5 adults and 10 children, just because adults are big and scary.
