I also don't remember people having a lot of pent-up stress and frustration from being locked in their homes for months and the economy being destroyed back then. I also don't remember identity politics being as much of a thing back then and causing as much division and tension. Also don't...

The search itself didn't really bother me when I visited CFRC Hamilton in January. It was less invasive than what you have to go through to get on an airplane and I get it. What annoyed me a bit was the attitude of the Commissionaire who was very officious and suspicious acting as if I was some...

I refer you back to the very first post in this thread, where I linked to a video from YouTuber "Donut Operator" who is an ex-SWAT guy who does videos on, inter alia, police shootings. He does a detailed breakdown of all three shootings and has video of the first/Rosenbaum shooting. For ease of...

Interestingly, every single shot he took hit it's intended target. Plus he was very conservative in the number of shots he fired. He performed as well as you'd hope any trained operator would under extremely stressful circumstances.

I wasn't online all weekend, so I am just working my way through this thread, answering posts directed at me as I come to them ... so I'll be starting with responding to stuff on page one. In response to my initial post ... The first guy -- Joseph Rosenbaum A.K.A. "JoJo" -- was also a...

I would strongly disagree with saying "two people were murdered" based on the evidence I have seen. The cellphone video that shows the shooting, shows Rittenhouse clearly running away from/fleeing a number of people. He falls to the ground -- it is impossible to tell from the video whether he...

If authorities CEASE "to decline to exercise the powers that were delegated to them" the vigilantism will disappear. Authorities don't need to arrest the vigilantes and they probably can't stop them all. But if they start enforcing the law again and restore peoples' trust that in the...

I don't think there are official sources willing to admit or consider the left as dangerous, despite the evidence we can see with our own eyes by following what's going on in current events. For political reasons, I suspect, law enforcement does not consider the rioting and looting going on in...

If you hire a lawyer who's actually any good, a murder trial could cost $100,000 or more I expect. Peter Khill's trial was 12 days in front of the jury, plus then you need to factor in preparation time, and he probably ran a preliminary inquiry before that. He was acquitted but I'm sure it cost...

To be fair, you didn't say "there is a very good chance you will be charged" you said "you will probably go to prison". You're pretty much guaranteed to get charged. But you're very likely to be acquitted at trial, and therefore very unlikely to do jail time. Unless you have a prior criminal...

Fair enough, I should have been more specific/exclicit that when I say "absolutely no criminal charges" I meant in relation to the fetus. Whether the baby lives long enough to make it outside the womb before dying, the attacker will still be facing charges for assault/aggravated...

Thanks for posting this. Mr. O'Toole's firearms policy was the thing that, at the last second, caused me to switch my vote from MacKay to O'Toole. Also, MacKay's stated position that "assault rifles" (i.e. black firearms) should be banned (cf...

In my view, it is actually very unlikely for someone to actually be convicted of defending themselves inside their own home. They will most likely be charged and have to pay a lawyer lots of money and go through the stress of the court process, but they will most likely be acquitted in the end...

Well, I give you credit for consistency. Most people who think firearms should be illegal are fine with fast cars, so I respect your view. I obviously disagree that we can/should make everything that is dangerous illegal. There are many reasons for that and this is supposed to be the CPC...

I actually saw that ... I don't consider twice in the sixty or so years AR-15s have been around to be statistically significant. Ok, so you've stated your opinion ... perhaps I missed it but WHY do you think hunting rifles should be the only legal firearms? Again, there's "no need" for many...

Here's a good example of the absurd results that we get with this arbitrary determination that the child is only a person once outside the mother. In 1981, Manitoba resident Bernice Daniels was stabbed in the abdomen, resulting in the premature birth of her child who lived for 19 minutes before...

Citing the O.A.C.P. is simply an appeal to authority. And the O.A.C.P. apparently relies on their own authority without backing up their position with any facts, data, or even political ideology, they simply state: "Ontario’s police leaders support a prohibition on all military-designed assault...

Not sure it would be much of a fight, the NDP will just cease to exist. Unfortunately I think Halifax Tar is right that a united left would be nigh unstoppable. Even if the CPC became the "centrist" party, I think that the yard sticks have moved so much to the left and as things get worse...

Thanks for the response, and all the best on your interview. I see that every single recruiting centre in Ontario is now open ... except CFRC Hamilton where my application is! LOL Apparently Hamilton is a "hot spot" for COVID right now (or so I've been told, I had a hard time finding evidence...

This may or may not be the case. I believe it's been calculated that the PPC cost the CPC at least 8 seats in the last election if memory serves, perhaps more (I forget -- it may have even been in the 20s). However, on the other hand, I think that with Mr. Bernier losing his seat (and...
