Because it's terrible. The food is terrible, they treat their employees terribly, the employees are understandably terrible themselves and the whole thing is shoved down our throats as 🍁 CANADIAN 🍁
"I feared for my life and the lives of my fellow officers."
Why are individuals held to stricter rules? It should not be legal to shoot someone who is stealing your lawn gnomes but an armed thief inside your house is a thread of unknown magnitude.
Have you met an RPAL carrier? “Better tried by 12 than carried by 6” is kind of their mantra. I can think of 3 off the top of my head that I know 100% have loaded guns stashed in their residence (no kids).
I have, they keep their firearm and ammo locked up, they never transport their firearm anywhere but to and from the range and they never load or discharge it anywhere but at the range.
Having to make the decision between jail time or death is a failure on the part of Canada. The police can kill you because they felt "their life or the lives of other officers were in danger," a person in their home should be held to the same standard.
Can you see how extending self defense rights to property would be a very slippery slope?
For sure but I was talking about the increase in criminals attacking people directly, in their vehicle or home, in order to get that vehicle. You have no option to backoff when you are part one of their two part plan.
If someone breaks into your house and starts cramming your home theater into a sack then no, you should not be free to kill them but you should be able to threaten or use violence to remove them from your home. The police will not come in time, if at all. Telling people that they have to just sit there and watch the thousands of hours they burn at work get taken from them without recourse is insane.
There is no legal way to have a gun and ammunition that accessible in Canada. In the time it would take you to retrieve both and then load a legally stored gun your home invader could have had a coffee.
Also keeping some other weapon nearby, like a bat by the door, constitutes some kind of premeditation to using it as a weapon.
Self defence laws in Canada are extremely restrictive given the increase in car jacking and home invasions to steal cars.
You can extrapolate that the voting population approximately represents the non-voting population. Or, if you are a prick, you can say that non-voters didn't want this but refrained from voting and are therefore to blame, in which case they still chose this.
America has always been a racists, bigoted, sexist, right-wing playground. The only thing that has changed is that now they don't have to hide it.
Betteridge's law, no, cable cars will not fix traffic.
The way you fix traffic is MASS transit, trains, subways, street cars and (maybe) busses that can hold dozens to hundreds of people at a time while taking up less space.
Stop subsidizing oil and gas, in 2024 Canada handed over 29 BILLION to the oil and gas industry. It needs to stop now. After more than a century of industrial scale operation, if oil and gas can not operate without subsidies then maybe they are a failure as a business and they should be allowed to collapse.
30 Billion could provide a lot of healthcare, public transit, and affordable housing.
If the liberal government wants to spend 9B on defense I am all for it provided it comes from Canada's industrial scale parasites.
There was at least one firearm banned in Canada, the all black metal and plastic variant, who's wood stock counterpart was permitted. It was a jab at the smooth brain, black guns are scary, policy makers we have.
I keep reading about how shocked Canada is by this behaviour, who didn't see this coming?
We have always been on the shit end of the trading stick. We sell energy at a huge discount, we sell petroleum at a discount, we sell lumber at a discount but we have always paid a premium for US imports. Fuck 'em, I'm tired of "the greatest country in the world" getting a deal because our politicians have been kissing their ass for decades.
Canada should be focused on subsidizing domestic prices by making trade agreements where we don't loose money,
There should be an immediate ban on assault style vehicles and all vehicles sold with black metal panels instead of wood. Fuel tanks should be restricted to 300km and transmissions should be manual not automatic!
Shit, actually I would kill for a tiny, wood paneled, stick shift car...
People bike year round in Finland. It's not the weather it's the total absence of infrastructure and maintenance in Canada.
