I wonder how many 7 year olds in Canada have been suspended for chewing their pop tart in to the shape of a gun?

Or how many in Canada are arrested for drinking Iced tea?


Or for sleeping on a train?

It's funny when our trailer-park-conservatives want to discuss world politics when they don't even have a clue about our own neighbor to the north... hilarious. Yes, Canada, oppressed by a tyrannical regime lol

I don't see what's so bad about that.


Uh......

Maybe I can't blame you for not knowing, now that I see the results, but the World Press freedom Index tells me that Canada ranks in at #18 in the world, while the United States of America is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there, at #46. Right below Romania, and just above Haiti.

Holy s***. Christ on a bike, man. WTF are you even going on about? lol

Freedom of Association is guaranteed under section 2 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You think the guys making Camaros and Chargers, your Ford Triton motors for your F150's etc etc are working without a union? LMAO!!!

Or that we don't have Masonic, or other lodges? No Boy Scouts or Girl Guides? Marches? Protests? Strikes?



My SKS is illegal then? Are you aware that a GM6 Lynx semi auto .50 BMG bull pup is classified as a NON-RESTRICTED weapon in Canada? I can ride around with it in my Jeep all day and no one can say sweet **** all about it. Okay, wait, it has to be unloaded. And if I leave the vehicle, it has to be secured (ie: locked car/trunk) and hidden (ie: under a jacket)



Wrong again. The owner of the expropriated property must be compensated for the market value of the expropriated property, any impact on the remaining property if they don't take your house, disturbance damages, business loss, and special difficulty relocating.

A nation where you are arrested for speaking your mind is tyrannical...But laugh it off you have no defense.

You can be arrested for speaking your mind in America. Just go to a movie theater and tell everybody that you think the place is on fire. There is no place on the planet where you can freely speak your mind.

Another bad comparison.

Probably would be best for you to read up on the actual case.

Meh. You could put the population of Alaska into the Chicago city limits and have room to spare. No valid comparison in this one.

Before firearms were invented, what was the sign of a well rounded Swiss man? Pikes. The Swiss were big on pikes. The Brits were big on longbows.

Armed citizenry isn't new.

Once again with the fire in a movie theater bit..Name one person who has ever been arrested for that?

Not the same thing as the "hate speech" laws in Canada..You have nothing.
