Colion is by far my favorite 2A advocate, he's logical, articulate, and knowledgeable. I very often find myself agreeing with him on basically everything, and this is no different.

However, what his videos show to me is how much different Canadian society is from the US. Can you imagine any Canadian politician saying anything ever like this? I can't even imagine Pierre saying this with his focus on Freedom TM.

I have never felt so detached from Canada and I am not confident I will ever reattach.

It's really only the liberal party that have taken us so far left. I don't see any other Canadian politician saying the same thing, or the average Canadian thinking that Trudeau's statement is right. Only a vocal minority controls us, unfortunately

While the NDP has been generally silent, they've been backing everything the LPC does. They have earned a large portion of the blame as well.

I mean this very much always has been American culture that was imported into Canada by this sort of media, and only as recently as technology like the Internet enabled it. It wasn't right the way some of these outlets presented American commentary, culture, customs and laws Canadian where they were not. When people go out and try to exercise those notions in a jurisdiction where they don't apply, they just stir up a political mess in their own backyard instead.
