Absolutely should not have taken so long. This is specifically why laws need to be written.

What is it going to take for Canadians to be able to defend their homes from invaders and criminals ?

Edit : seems like some of you think I dream of just grabbing a 12ga for the first intruder no questions asked only to protect my TV. I absolutely don't. Y'all don't have any families though ? How are you supposed to know an intruder(s) intentions ?

The crown will not allow it. It is a hallmark of commonwealth countries and being ruled by the King as “subjects”.

being ruled by the King as “subjects”.

It's nice for him that he thinks that, the reality is I neither accept, recognize, nor respect this supposed "king." The only being I am subject to is God, I neither bow nor bend the knee to any man. Old sausage fingers can eat my ass for all I care, Quebec had the right idea by doing away with the oath of fealty to the crown for their provincial representatives.
