overwhelmingly supports the legislation

Have you stepped outside of Ontario for more than an hour? I'm not going to get into the rest of that awful take but if you sincerely think that Canada is 60%+ comprised of duck-hunting-phobic, scared-shitless-over-guns urbanites and want nothing to do with them there isn't a point in trying to counter any of that.

Have you stepped outside of this subreddit for more than an hour?

The collective zeal of yet another wave of 'I'm 20-something and just got my RPAL a year ago and now guns are my entire identity and the most important thing in my life' Redditors doesn't change the reality, or that 80% of Canadians live in urban areas and most want nothing to do with guns (or are indifferent at best).

I'm not shedding any tears for them. If they want to remain ignorant and apathetic, they can deal with the consequences.
