Yes, some people in both nations are hunters, farmers, etc. with

hobbyists. But the U.S. dominates in the number of people who are so

Despite the paucity of guns intended for "protection," Canadians don't

Frank, as I said elsewhere, you cannot bring yourself to think before posting. 1. Guns last practically forever and modern repeaters showed up in the 1860's 2. Therefore neither you nor the Canadian government have the slightest idea of the "guns per citizen" and it is likely to be higher than the US since Canada was open frontier for much longer. Guns were necessary7 to feed yourself.

As for lower rates of murder - Canada is s much more homogenous society far less likely to have disputes over customs and morales. Not to mention DA's releasing murderers on no cash bail during Biden whom you loved like a father. Was your own father corrupt to his very core?

Here is Liebermann's opening to support your stupid 309 guns per 100 Canadian citizens.

 
Where is this mythical "here" that you claim quotes my comments on
Frank posting a Wikipedia article on Firearms regulations in Canada?
In the years I've been posting to rec.bicycles.tech, I have mentioned
guns perhaps 3 times.  All were technical corrections and none of them
were recent.
 
Tom, you're hallucinating that I said anything.  Have you been using
AI software to invent your tales?  Better yet, are you really an AI in
disguise instead of a human?  It would seem to be the case if you're
hallucinating in a similar manner.
 

Why, he's almost as bright as you (sic).

 
Improper use of "sic".

Where is the mythical quotation and error in the above "bright" quote?
 
Change-o-topic:
Has anyone actually tried using an rust prevention concoction such as
lanolin (sheep oil) based Fluid Film for preventing rust and
corrosion?
<https://www.fluid-film.com>
<https://www.fluid-film.com/products/>
<https://www.fluid-film.com/recreation-applications/>
If so, which version and did it work?

I have not, although linseed oil is effective for a few years.

Thanks.  I've tried linseed oil and had storage problems.  The bottle
would turn rancid after about 5 years.  That's a problem with all the
plant based oils.  Of the various plant based oils, I'm told that
linseed oil lasts the longest before starting to stink.  Still, it's
worth another try.

In the 1990s, products appeared with various mixes including
oxalic acid to convert the red unstable rust to a black iron
oxide which holds primers and paint better.  Has to sit 24
hours dry before coating, cheap at any auto parts store.

With the cold weather and high humidity when it's raining, I have to
be careful when to paint.  I've painted things in winter, and had to
wait until summer for the paint to dry.  I've been using a rust
converter, which works tolerably well if I use a dehumidifier.

More recently I've used the newer paints which react with
and bond to red rust (wire brush away loose material and
then paint it- no primer). A bit pricey but very effective.
Depends on your project I suppose.

I hadn't heard about that.  I really don't want to paint on top of
rust (or iron phosphate).  I'll ask at the local hardware store.

Thanks for the info.

You might want to look into marine paints as there are steel hull
boats that are painted and don't have rust problems.

I don't believe that's a good idea.  Marine hull paints include
various rust preventive chemicals.  Those would certainly be welcome
in my shower.  They also include anti-fouling chemicals formulated to
kill hard and soft organisms (barnacles, mussels, slime, seaweed,
hydroids, algae, biofilms, etc) that can foul the hull.  To the best
of my limited knowledge, the protective chemicals are all poisons, and
skin contact is considered dangerous.  That would seem to be a bad
idea for my shower.

There might be a product available that only deals with corrosion
problems and leaves out the dangerous chemicals.  Maybe:
<https://www.bottompaintstore.com/boat-bottom-paint-c-13523.html>
A little quick skimming seems to indicate that "boat bottom paints"
are all intended to be anti-fouling and therefore not suitable for my
shower.  I'll dig deeper (time permitting).

Thanks much.

Yup, I skipped a beat there. A metal hull is usually painted with two
types of paint which I had intended to point out. A topside paint is
intended to protect the upper hull from sun and water and to wear well
waver  and a "bottom" paint which  contains something to limit re the
growth of things and stuff below the waterline.
See
https://www.boatus.com/expert-advice/expert-advice-archive/2014/april/how-long-does-boat-bottom-paint-last
for difference.

Marine paint shops usually list paint contents as most boat people are
(while not necessarily knowledgeably) rather set in their ways and
want "THAT" paint and not any other. Particularly with anti fouling
paints.

One problem is that general speaking marine paint is sold in large
buckets and may be more then you need.

But look around as I did find shops that would decant into smaller
cans.
