Anyone watch this documentary yet? These clips make it seem interesting.

I wish I could quote Marco’s statements, because I feel like he is blatantly lying. Like how is it legal for a politician to publicly lie to this degree. We need a bill to start charging dishonest politicians (every party included)

Yeah, the original video made the rounds a year ago when Mendecino was promoted to the position of Minister of Public Safety, and we were all trying to figure out who he was.

Many viewed it, and said he seemed reasonable compared to Bill Blair.

I watched it, and instantly saw the trouble. He clearly had a pathological aversion to guns, even before it became politically important for him to be so. He refused to even touch a gun, with a a friend, at a gun range, after safety training, etc. This is irrational, and reveals a deep seated emotional aversion to an inanimate object.

Yeah he looks a bit nervy to me. His mannerisms and demeanour make me believe something is off.

If you're speaking specifically on the range day, IMO, that's just normal behavior for a Canadian anti-gunner. I've seen it many times before. That used to be me. It is still most of the people I know.
