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.
