It isn’t the gotcha you think it is. To get a handgun you absolutely need to know how to use it properly (at least they did before the handgun freeze), and most handgun shooters are better shots than your average Canadian police officer. You are acting like they handed out RPALs to people who use pistols to scratch their heads or something. If anything I would say many cops shouldn’t be walking around with a badge and a gun, but many do, and I have heard of accidental discharges from them so stupid that it is amazing they only get a stern talking to. If I had an accidental discharge even close to what they did I would go to jail for years and be fucked for life.

Given my anti-Trump stance…

The no kings protests were the biggest in US history but have done nothing.

Threatening a country’s sovereignty and insulting its people and putting humiliating restrictions and treating them like they are all drug smugglers and terrorists does wonders to not want them come down.

The gun ban shit is stupid, and expensive and pointless. The licensing scheme was all that was needed and it worked very well. They could even remove the non-restricted/restricted distinction and just have long gun/handgun, and the handgun freeze crap needs to go to hell. Also pocket pistols should be relegalized again. A person that can be trusted with a glock 19 can be trusted with a glock 43.

Edit: I have a fuckload more to say but I haven’t the time or energy for this shit.

You naive summer child…

This is not the Canada I immigrated to…

And if some police officer in disguise tries to be a provocateur real protestor should not be prosecuted.

Banning furry porn would destroy a massive section of internet artwork. Furry artists, for all their flaws, can be some of the most creative people out there.

I need to write my MP and I will copy-paste what you wrote.

Your first line almost reads like a typo, I am mildly confused.

And they are passing the equivalent of rhe Patriot act with zero chance of any major terrorist anything happening.

That is correct. I did choose whoever the liberal candidate was on the ballot. But we all know what that means ultimately in a national election.

I should have abstained or voted NDP or voted symbolically.

Giving in to trump is one of the stupidest things imaginable. I will never understand how anyone fell for him. When I studied the rise of Hitler during ww2 I was confused as to how anyone fell for a buffoon like him and still am.

Yet people continue to fall for this shit.

Fuck you, Carney, I can’t believe I voted for this jackass. I voted liberal specifically so shit like this DOESN’T happen.

Fuck this. Fuck their cuts to Healthcare, fuck their continued enabling of the housing crisis, fuck their trying to cut a deal with Trump, fuck their ineffective and extremely expensive (and unenforceable) gun bans and attacks on sport shooting, fuck their bill to make a patriot act style surveillance state, fuck their continued breaches of internet privacy. Just fuck this.

When I became a naturalized Canadian citizen I voted for the first time in my life in any election, and it was NDP, because they were the closest thing to what I want.

I honestly want this shit to stop. I want affordable housing again, I want rent control, and I want lease transfers (when they ended that people said it would absolutely show a spike in homelessness, which it did). For one thing that would make me sound conservative is that I want the current bullshit on firearms bans to be stop and be repealed. The Canadian licensing scheme for firearms has been very successful in preventing bad guys from getting guns, showing in that very few criminal guns in Canada are sourced from legal Canadian sources. The worst shooting in Canadian history that happened in Nova Scotia in 2022 was done with smuggled AR-15s from the United States. The shooter had one gun sourced from Canada, but how he got it is a monumental failure of the RCMP… the shooter was the executor of someone’s estate, and that person legally owned a pistol when he was alive. The RCMP could have swept in and took it, as the shooter not only did not have an RPAL, but also had a criminal record and a history of alcoholism (both of which would bar anyone from getting an RPAL or PAL approved).

Basically the current state of the liberals with the failed gun bans is both very expensive (and they haven’t collected a single damn rifle yet) and highly ineffectively and driven entirely by simple hatred of firearms and sport shooting… and the money continues to be diverted from more essential services like healthcare and housing, in addition to trying to pass the equivalent of the Patriot Act without any justification whatsoever and warrantless digital spying on Canadians and online IDs… it is giving me a headache just to think about it.

This is shit I would have expected from conservatives. Not liberals…

My God I fucking hate the liberals so fucking bad. All of their shit. The conservatives are bad… but would they be this fucking bad?

I voted for him because I dreaded what the conservatives would do if they got elected. Now I see that there isn’t much of a fucking difference. If anything he might be even worse. No wonder Trump endorsed him.
