Nice idea, but those are not grounds for refugee claims under any current treaties, but maybe we could build it into the new USMCA/CUSMA. I'm pretty confident that if the 51st state idea were to ever come to pass that our current government would negotiate away 2A rights for former Canadians in...

The Ontario Provincial Police have decided to not participate in the compensated confiscation (TM) scheme. The Public Safety Minister said a number of police services have already signed on but refused to say which ones. He's still confident everything banned will be rounded up by the end of...

I think this will also spur a renewed growth in more heavily armed pseudo-police private security contractors down there.

Good pre-reading if you ever want to work with INSET in Québec.

I get the message "The video is not available in your country." Trying to watch it at work in Québec.

That occurred not far from me and the local rumour mill put in some serious overtime on this incident. All I will add is that no charges have been laid, yet. From what I have heard, the investigation is still ongoing.

What he's proposing is completely dependant on the victims being able to/having an opportunity to leave. If there are valuables the intruders want and can't access (such as a house safe or gun locker) escape routes will probably be cut off.

it appears that Chief MacSween of the York Regional Police has faced some pushback from his recent suggestions that Canadians cooperate fully with home invaders. He's backtracked somewhat.

Human rights and constitutional lawyers all across Canada are rubbing their wallets with glee!

Just before my shift, I open the banking app on my phone to remind myself of all the bills I have to pay.

I've dealt with a few of these people at work. Talking to them is like talking to my cat.

Permanent Resident. Different from a TFW. A PR is a foreign national who has been granted permission to live and work in a country without being a citizen. While holding many rights of a natural born citizen, they remain citizens of another country and have specific residency requirements to...

Are you sure they are TFWs and not PRs?

Did Trump just watch "Clear and Present Danger" on NetFlix?

That's an interesting observation. But the 2020 OIC, Bills C-21 and C-71 have still not been fully implemented because the Liberal government knew what they wanted to do but had no idea how to do it. Each one of those, plus the subsequent ASF bans and handgun ban, excuse me, freeze are all vote...

Remember that our former Public Safety Minister Bill Blair famously stated in 2020 that "Canadians do not arm themselves for protection from their fellow citizens" or words to that effect. Former Chretien-era Liberal Justice Minister Allan Rock also stated that the he "came to Ottawa with the...

I don't think Brihard is advocating for a higher standard for civilians at all. Recall he stated that "use of force resulting in death or serious harm is investigated, in most cases by an independent external agency". Even if such use of force doesn't result in criminal charges (i.e. it was...

Lindsay has a population of just over 22,000, so not a "howdy, neighbour!" sized community. Their prior association will likely be interesting.

Like I said, not my agency and I don't know the outcome. In defence of the unknown copper, we had some older 9mm dummy rounds at our College which could be easily mistaken for live frangible. No idea where they came from but we got rid of them damn quick! Hopefully the Crown had the common...

You'd have a better chance of seeing a unicorn in your yard in my riding than a PPC candidate at your door. Three elections now, never saw one, never received any correspondence from one.
