A Canadian man visiting Wisconsin for a golf trip was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while walking back to his hotel, according to multiple local reports.
Police found the victim, Giovanni Michael “Mike” Robinson, 32, suffering from a gunshot wound around 12:08 a.m. local time on Wednesday in Sheboygan Falls, according to local police. Despite life-saving measures and medical attention, Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Sources tell Global News that Robinson is originally from the town of Stouffville, Ont., and was a former player in the Ontario Hockey League.
And they wonder why nobody travels to the US anymore.
There are worse ways to go there…
But, and hear me out, what was his job description?
Did he receive a parking ticket in the last 30 years? Maybe he deserved it!
There needs to be a genuine travel earning against coming to the us
Several countries already have them, Canada won’t extradite queer people back to the US.
There is from the Canadian Association of University Teachers. Since the summer.
Just like you wouldn’t do a trip to North Korea or some war-torn country, you shouldn’t do a trip to USA in 2025. The country is currently in deep crisis with a rogue regime consisting of neo-nazi zealots & grifters and a big chunk of the population brainwashed by regime-supported propaganda on national TV (Fox News) and other random bullsh!t on proprietary social media, also radicalizing parts of the population. Plus they can all own guns legally. It’s neither a safe nor sane country currently. Sorry for the decent Americans out there but your situation is really bad and I don’t think you can turn this around non-violently anymore.
I would feel safer travelling to North Korea than USA.
Go to a shithole country and you might get shot, stay out of the US!
As a former Wisconsinite, I’m not at all surprised.
I just assumed cops shot him but turns out, we don’t know if it were cops or not.
That’s horrible.
Also, why would anyone visit the US at this point?
Shithole county
Yes. What a shithole country.
I’d personally like to leave the US but nobody wants someone with no money and no degree.
Don’t worry, three Masters degrees and I still can’t get call back.
3 master’s degrees is a red flag. It tells the employer you don’t really know what you want to do with life.
Try just putting only one of the degrees on your resume when you apply (the one most pertinent to the job). Same goes for past experience: don’t list everything, only list what is relevant.
Employers these days can get hundreds or even thousands of applications to a job posting. They filter these down to a manageable number with AI looking for keywords. Then they look through the remaining pile by hand to try to get down to just a few they can interview.
It’s easy to mess up a resume in a way that kills your chances of getting a job. One of the sure fire ways to do that is to clutter up your resume with irrelevant (to the job) experience or education.
To get shot. Very exciting.
free bullets
BYO casing + powder but the slug is provided free and with fast delivery.
No one wants to talk about golfer on golfer violence.
bringing a hole in one to new levels
This type of killing is unusual. For all at know he owed money to less than moral people.
Happens every single day in that shithole country. What are you talking about?
For losing a golf game? Maybe he was dealing the sweet Canadian fentanyl.
Wow, picking motives out of thin air today, are we?
So unusual for a country that can’t go a single day without someone dying from gun violence. Yup, nothin sus about that statement.
i live “in the area” and everyone around me is pretty shaken up. it’s been a while since the county had a random murder. what a terrible thing to happen.
Was probably targeted. Random drive bys aren’t a thing outside of specific cities but it’s a time honored way to wack a dude.
Random drive bys have never been much of a thing. They usually target a rival gang hangout hoping to get a gang member, or often just to stir up fear. But yeah, seems this guy pissed someone off.
Yeah I’ve heard of hitting “random” houses as initiation but they’re almost always not random if you look more than 5 seconds.
I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that they mistook him for someone else.
Or just caught in the crossfire.
Maybe they just hate golf.
random drive bys are a thing…? there have been several over the last couple decades. it’s not common, sure, but people do just randomly get killed by someone who wants to kill. this dude is not from the area and never visited. who would’ve targeted him? he lived in PA and was a Canadian citizen. the bar reported no issues between the group and anyone.
I bet nobody in your county sees a problem with guns either.
you wouldn’t be too far off from the truth lol. our county is conservative but the city proper is liberal. doesn’t matter when the smaller towns surrounding the city are Red.
Believe it or not, there are some of us out here in the woods that still rely on firearms as a part of our daily lives to both put food on the table and protect against dangerous animals in the area (mainly black bears around me).
Black Bears are a bad example to make your point. Brown Bears… now you have a problem.
Most black bears aren’t aggressive unless you get near their cubs, and they won’t get near you on purpose.
Brown bears will fuck you up for fun.
Yup, black bears are lower risks than browns, and attacks rarely end with fatalities. That doesn’t mean I wanna fistfight a bear because it felt like starting something while I’m alone in the woods miles from help.
Don’t black bears generally avoid humans?
Yes and no. They’re not as large or aggressive as a grizzle bear, but they’re absolutely still bears. I’ve had encounters where one walked right up into my camp and stole my dinner completely undeterred by me or any noise I made. I’ve also been stalked through the woods by a lone thin looking bear, probably looking for an opportunity to get the drop on me… and then there’s the mama bears. I don’t go out in the woods without bear mace and a heavy caliber handgun with bear loads, better safe than food.
After thought: I also have bear bells that announce my presence as I walk, and more often than not, that will be enough to scare off any in the area so my encounters are rare and spread out over years… still would rather be safe.
Admittedly I hadn’t thought of that, but I still believe there are alternative routes that could be explored to resolve those issues. Even in your part of the world I don’t believe you need to have 75 pounds of tannerite and a 100 round drum mag for your AR15 to combat the everyday bear.

Still doesn’t change the fact that you have insane gun laws.
The world is not like the US when it comes to gun deaths.
Places like Switzerland have more guns per capita and fewer gun deaths than the US.
Why is that?
I love how you try and justify 50k gun deaths (a lot of them being children) by saying you hunt.
Typical American.

🤦♂️
Dude just defended his use of firearms. Something which is also legal in Canada and other nations.
Handguns (which the poster specifically mentioned) aren’t legal for that use in canada
America doesn’t have insane gun laws. We have outdated gun laws that are in need of some common sense reforms, which is a monumentally difficult task due to gun ownership being baked into our country from the founding. The only way to change this is through a constitutional amendment, which would need to be approved by 38 or more states, and more than half our lands are still mostly undeveloped rural areas where guns are very much still a necessity to live there.
The world is not like the US period. What works for the world won’t necessarily work for America.
Switzerland has 28 privately owned guns for every 100 residents.
America has 120 privately owned guns for every 100 residents.
Please explain how 28 is more than 120? Must be counting with that metric system I’m to American to understand.
I’m no expert on the subject, but if I were to venture a gues as to why that is, I’d probably point to Switzerland’s population being just 9 million while America’s is over 340 million as a starting point.
I’m not trying to justify any gun deaths, especially of children, because I hunt. Those are your words, and I’d thank you to not put them in my mouth. What I said is there’s still parts of this country that people need guns for food and protection from dangerous animals.
I might have gotten some facts wrong but it doesn’t change the fact that buying and selling firearms in your country is insane.
In the US anyone can skirt gun laws by buying at a firearms show. Also, there is no registry, no owner history, no limits on buying cartridges, no magazine limits, no powder limits, no bump stock regulations, no silencer regulations (anymore), no handgun regulation whatsoever, concealed carry allowed for anyone without a license in certain states, I can go on. This is irresponsible not outdated. Keep on using your minigun for hunting deer.
The fact that Switzerland can own almost as many firearms as the US or rather have an almost identical fetish with firearms as the US and not have a thousandth of the deaths related to them is very telling but keep telling yourself what you need to hear so the screams of those children who die every year needlessly dont keep you up at night.
Australia said the same thing that you are saying. IMPOSSIBLE TO GET SANE GUN LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY. They had a huge mass shooter problem but after someone with balls was elected they legislated strict firearms laws and lo and behold no more mass shooting problem.
I guess what you are saying is nobody has the balls in the US to do anything but most have thoughts and prayers for their own dead children.
There are hunters in all countries and saying the US is different is just an excuse and burying your head in the sand.
Just say you hate children.
I for one am a proud owner of firearms and would give them all up just to save one child from being hurt by irresponsible humans.
Firearms ownership is not a right it is a privilege just like driving. This is the actual issue Americans have with firearms and it warps your minds.
Like children with toys you deny reality just to have them.

Goes go a desert
Wow, there’s absolutely no food here.
Goes to a grocery store
Wow, look how much food grows here!
Who did it and why? Continue to be “shaken up” until you can tell us that.
seems they have arrested a suspect.
And that kids, is why we don’t go to Sheboygan
*USA
Fixed that for you, it’s all like that.
in Wisconsin there used to be a popular morning radio segment called “who’s more sheboygan” making fun of how backwards and redneck the area was. sheboygan has always had a reputation as the Florida of Wisconsin.
so yes, fair. America bad. but also here’s a little nugget of context to go with that.
Thank you for doing the explaining for me
You know, Canada should build some golf courses so people won’t have to travel down south to scratch that golf itch.
Canada is 4th for most golf courses per capita.
Usa is 10th
Nothing more American than misinformation.
It’s a joke, please don’t ban me. :<
What!? Canada has golf courses? Well then why did this asshat travel to the Nazi States of America when he could have just stayed home?
He wanted to golf at that specific course, it’s pretty renowned.
Still, Canada has had a travel warning to tje USA for decades due to rampant gun violence.
Americans just don’t seem to understand, I’m Canadian and almost 40, lived in several major Canadian cities. I’ve never heard a gunshot in my life.
I’ve also never even seen a gun in real life other than on an officer.
America is fucked.
For the freedom. He’s very free now.
I do agree with you. But people also go for the warmer weather.
Ahh yes, famously warm Wisconsin.
Just saying a general reason Canadian golfers go South to the US. Not specific to the story itself.
Lol! -a wisconsiner
