I suspect the RCMP deflection is based on the disaster that was the Nova Scotia shooting. -failed to investigate reports that the shooter owned illegal firearms -systemic failures in how they policed the area, lack of organization and coordination coupled with poorly prepared officers -whatever...

This is where you go wrong, ownership of property isn’t a privilege it is a right and should not be deprived of without a valid legal reason. If you do not believe in the right to own property, well comrade have I got a good political system to sell you. Your mistaking the intent behind our...

Again you should have to have a reason. Not be fishing for a reason. They should be proactive not reactive with this. Say I get divorced 3 months after PAL renewal, I still have almost 5 years before renewing. Thats something you wouldn’t even have to report on renewal unless it happened within...

Yes but my drivers licence doesn’t expire and suddenly my car becomes illegal to possess and can result in jail time. To me the PAL should be like the old FAC (firearms acquisition certificate) where you can possess your firearms with a expired FAC but cannot buy new ones. Or the PAL should...

PALs shouldn’t expire. Maybe acquiring new firearms should be restricted, but simply owning your property shouldn’t become illegal just because a licence expired. The government doesn’t come take your car because your drivers licence expired, you just can’t drive it on public roads.

They don’t or they don’t care. At this point I lean towards the second point as they have already done similar things with deadly results. If they are choosing to ignore that they are willfully ignorant. People have already died from this administrations removal of funding to similar things...

Do they have knives in the house? A car in the driveway? Anything can be a weapon in the wrong hands. Access should be limited but if the owner has taken proper steps to prevent access what more can be expected? We need more information before making a full judgement on the decision. The...

So on the gun control component. 1) handgun transfers have been illegal since before this person hit 18 so it could not have been legally acquired to begin with for them. 2) they did not have a PAL either so the long gun could not have legally been theirs. 3) whose firearms were they, where...

To be clear I am against exploiting them. That being said I would consider anyone who has been in the US for years, contributed to the economy and dealt with the illegal treatment to be more deserving of American citizenship than the Americans who exploited them in the first place. Basically...

Considering how much they contribute to the US economy I wouldn’t consider it leeching. Approximately 75% of them are working as opposed to 62.5% of Americans. They are also working for less money than Americans with less rights and safety rules because a lot of Americans take advantage of...

Greedy unrealistic employers at all levels. Last apprenticeship posting I looked at out of curiosity wanted 2nd year or farther along apprentices, so basically looking for someone who already has a job. There isn’t a shortage of people willing to work, but there is a shortage of employers who...

As a society we need to embrace the skilled trades and do a fundamental shift in how we prepare people for them. My grandfathers were both British tradesmen, trained in the 50s and 60s. Their apprenticeships were levels above a current Canadian one mainly because they actually cared to train...

I don’t. That is the one strength Canada’s gun laws have over other countries is the consistency throughout the country. I don’t want it to be like America where depending on which state, county, or city you live in or are visiting can drastically change what you can or cannot do. The...

Alternatively they are sticking to that date to try and force the issue. If you go, oh we will extend it again you lose your short term leverage.

Even in a civil society there needs to be red lines drawn somewhere, it is very important there is. You want to know how that civil society came to exist? It was through a few civil wars to curtail the powers of the king and enforce the rights of the citizenry. They don’t like reminding the...

We are at the point where it doesn’t matter how literate or not people present themselves. We have tried the long nice game, meanwhile they keep changing the rules in their favour and slowly but steadily restricting and reducing our freedoms. It isn’t my tactic of choice (I personally try the...

Classless or not stealing property (which when you say you may or may not pay you for the property you declared illegal is) from law abiding citizens just to suit political aims isn’t cool. Being paid to do a job doesn’t make it right. Just following orders isn’t a excuse. Right now I have...

Conscript doesn’t equal dumb or incompetent. If anything it is likely to up the quality of recruits we receive as currently most your best and brightest choose not to serve or decide against it due to how long the process is. Being a volunteer is a choice, but it doesn’t mean you are competent...

I found the Regs generally acted less professional than the Reserves did. Mainly because many in the Reserves were trying to compensate and act how they thought they should. I also found the most unprofessional people in the military were usually the more senior ranks. Jr ranks might do dumb...

I hope SK wins. They have so much to potentially offer which Europe will charge more for in a longer time frame. We need equipment today (thanks to our complete lack of seriousness as nation and allowing ourselves to become more or less defenceless) not some imaginary date a decade away. The...
