One again that depends on which municipality you live in and regulations and laws are for those who need them most.

Halloween used to be so cool when I was a lad. Bart's store on the corner of Pandosy and West Ave always had a fireworks booth set up a couple of weeks before the 31st and we'd spend our dimes and quarters on Atoms and Lady Fingers and whatnot and blow the bleep out of anything--including dog bleep--on the vacant lots around Raymer school.

Gone, those days. Closed, shut and gone. Now all these morbidly obese kids of today have is their damn 48 frame per second video games to blow off steam. No wonder the little *bleep* are shooting up schools.

Race trak gas just before you enter Winfield. Drove by there yesterday and saw the fireworks stand open and signs out.

Yup - Notice that both of the stores mentioned are on First Nations reserves - The laws of Canada are not necessarily recognozed by their soverign nation.
