What's Wrong With Canadians?

[Gone_Fishin]

An excellent article from the CSSA.

I think it covers a new subject and is deserving of its own thread.

What's Wrong With Canadians?

Not you.

You understand that reducing sentences for violent criminal offences and gun smuggling doesn't stop violent criminals or prevent gang shootings.

You comprehend that pointless gestures like Justin Trudeau's bans on firearms owned by licensed firearms owners is beyond useless at stopping drug-fueled, gang-related shootings.

You know that gang violence will never be stopped no matter how many rifles or shotguns Trudeau confiscates from hunters, farmers and sport shooters.

We're talking about the rest of our country-men and -women who don’t know anything about guns or the hoops we all jump through so politicians can pander to their irrational fear.

Those Canadians don’t know (or care) at all about our long-standing culture of safety or our nearly unblemished safety record at shooting clubs and ranges all across Canada.

All they know is they are afraid.

Because they’re so afraid, they willingly and blindly believe the first politician who says he (or she) can take away their fear.

That lying politician points the finger at us, calls us names and says we’re the reason drug dealers and gangs shoot up our cities with shocking regularity.

They believe the lying and unprincipled politician, so those Canadians dump all their fear, all their paranoia, and all their ignorance on our shoulders, and blame us for every ounce of it.

Opportunistic politicians like Justin Trudeau and his cabinet of virtue-signalling, do-nothing, do-gooders are thrilled to pander to their ignorance and their fear and happily make promise after unfulfilled promise.

And our uninformed and fear-filled fellow Canadians fall for it every single time.

All we ever wanted was to be left alone.

A whole branch of the CSSA exists because generations of ignoramuses like Justin Trudeau, Marco Mendicino, Bill Blair and the rest of his sociopathic government monsters (ministers) kept telling the generations of uninformed and fear-filled Canadians that they would solve all of their problems and take away all their fear and uncertainty.

Those opportunistic and agenda-driven politicians passed law after useless law down through the decades, knowing they will never stop the violence.

How could they possibly?

Every one of their useless restrictions and their even more useless laws are pointed at the most law-abiding segment of Canadians possible – federally-licensed RCMP-vetted firearm owners. Statistics Canada data shows we’re far safer than serving police officers.

But nobody wants to hear facts.

So we, being good citizens and good neighbours, jumped through ever more and ever higher hoops while the real problem – the gang thugs who murdered 17-year-old Jonathan Davis in 2019 or the gang thugs who gunned down a grade 10 student at Weston Collegiate Institute in Toronto – is repeatedly ignored by every level of government.

Lip service is paid to "stopping the flow of illegal guns" but the border is as porous as it ever was, and the political class steadfastly refuses to do anything about the epidemic of criminals already saddled with Firearms Prohibition Orders who are released (or never serve a day in prison to begin with) only to get their hands on more illegal guns so they can shoot up our cities, our towns and our villages, and kill more Canadians every week.

And every time another drug or gang thug shoots another innocent Canadian, politically opportunistic lying politicians like Justin Trudeau and his merry band of virtue signallers point their deceitful fingers at us as they pass another useless regulation, another Order in Council or another law (sometimes all three) that will NEVER stop drug dealers and gangs from committing their violence.

All so they can reassure the uninformed and fearful Canadians who Trudeau counts on for votes because he knows it works.

All governments at all levels love to be "seen to be doing something" about drug- and gang-fueled violence, but the politician willing to stand up to the stupidity of our Liberal government's irrational and useless policies are truly few and far between.

There's nothing wrong with us, "We're not socialists," and, "We're not obsessed with guns."

Canadians are increasingly ignorant about the importance of shielding fundamental rights and freedoms from government encroachment. Rather than encouraging our young to stand on the shoulders of giants of science and philosophy, we have allowed them to be conditioned to entrust themselves to the misguided edicts of bloated, invasive governments. The fact that so many Canadians are prepared to believe that Ottawa’s use of draconian powers to crush political dissent was “justified,” or that teachers should be persecuted for encouraging students to question political dogma is symptomatic of our growing cowardice and ethical weakness.

Correct as always, d0nB.

We are rotting from within like a mighty oak infected with fungus. We should have been all over the stupidity right from the start of it and smothered it with a wet blanket.

Your perspicacity is exceeded only by your charm.

We are rotting from within like a mighty oak infected with fungus. We should have been all over the stupidity right from the start of it and smothered it with a wet blanket.

Given our rich sociopolitical inheritance, you’d think that we would have been better prepared, but inept showmen like Joe McCarthy unintentionally empowered the Crazies to label anyone who dares to speak out against them as reactionary and undemocratic. Not that Joe was any worse of a demagogue than many politicians today, but Hollywood and the media have been very effective in portraying him as an unprincipled monster. Still, if we hope to endure as a (relatively) free people, we can’t shy away from sharing the truth, even when doing so invites the wrath of those who detest it.

Keep it up.

Wow! That's some serious call for action there. Sign up for our newsletter.

Man, what's wrong with Canadians who'd fall for acting on a web admin nothingburger commentary ad like that one?

At least the author could have suggested making a donation to support a lobby, or could have provided instructions for how to contact an MP.

I mean, to my mind, asking for sign ups to simply receive more bitching about a 'problem' seems like a hopeless approach to trying to solve it.

I watched a recent video with Stephen harper commenting on current liberalism and the woke.

We either run these lunatics out or everything our forefathers worked for is done. These left cultists don't have any agenda but wiping out our way of life and justin is using them to forward his Marxist plan.

This video?

Harper, ". . . And yet all I see are these supposedly repressed racists desperately trying to become Americans and to join the United States. . . ."

Interviewer, "Yeah . . .."

I mean, what's wrong with Canadians who really seem to give a enough about all that woke crap to be going around bitching about it?

Exactly.

What is now swallowed wholesale as "truth" is for the most part 100% pure garbage. But you can't question it, or be attacked by the radicalized fools out there who don't question anything, and have been indoctrinated. It's disgusting.

Remember the rabid attacks by Trudeau and Medicino on anyone who would suggest that the C-21 amendments would ban ANY hunting rifles and shotguns? I'm surprised the jack-booted Gestapo wasn't kicking in the doors of anyone who dared speak up.

And then Boy Blunder barfs this out:

Yeup. That's one of the vids.

So 'class dismissed' on the 'woke' issue in Canada. The mainstream doesn't need to give a rats.

What's wrong with Canadians?

We are becoming divided and it's been happening with increasing frequency over the past few years, following in the footsteps of our southern neighbours.

Just my point of view, but the American division was exacerbated by their most recent right wing president. A master of the insult, telling people what they didn't want to hear whether it was the truth or a lie.

And here in Canada, we have become more divided than ever in the past few years, led by our left wing Prime Minister who is the exact opposite of the guy to the south. Telling us what we wanted to hear, whether it was the truth or a lie. Virtue signaling, feeding the masses with fake tears, fake smiles, fake apologies, catering only to his believers rather than the entire nation.

Both guys, extreme opposites but with the same end result. Nations divided.
