Again. Point went. Right over. head. Missed by a mile.

This happens a lot. I wonder, why are you so confused most of the time? Was it a recent accident? Or did your mom drop you on your head when you were born?

Here is one of many claims to counter what you state to be a boat load of BS, that your people don't disguise themselves as Canadians.

BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Heh, heh, Aussies always ask if we're Canadians first, no trouble that way.

You may be Trumpless but you're not Trudeauless. Yet.

You have insanely restrictive gun laws - like having to lock up the gun and ammo separately, you can't even travel with one unless its locked up - separately.

The victim of the crime is in trouble if they try and defend themselves. They will likely be charged with a crime and have to prove innocence. The criminals have more rights.

Maybe safer streets in small towns. Toronto is bad as are most big cities anywhere. Lots of addicts roaming around. A lot of things don't get publicized.

Your medical system is fine as long as you have a non life threatening illness. If you do good luck on a timely procedure if you don't have a good doctor or know anyone in the system.

Don't get me wrong, I think its a great country and though its not in as much upheaval as the US its far from trouble free.

Nothing is perfect, but you lose. Can you even come close to getting your murders down to our level in the future:


After the deaths of a former high school football player and an assault victim, Toronto has the distinction of having the highest homicide rate of Canada's largest cities.
At 3.3 homicides for every 100,000 people, Toronto easily surpasses cities including Winnipeg with a rate of 2.6 and Hamilton, Ont. at 1.1, as of Monday.
"I am a little bit surprised to see this to be honest, because historically Toronto has been below the national average," said Jooyoung Lee, a sociology professor at University of Toronto.
Canada's homicide rate in 2017 was 1.8 homicides for every 100,000 people, according to Statistics Canada. There are year-to-year fluctuations to the national homicide rate, but generally it has been declining. Homicides are considered rare in Canada. In 2016 police reported them as accounting for less than 0.2 per cent of violent crimes.


It's a pity and very sad that you and others are so paranoid. I was a cop (plainclothes and uniform) for over 30 years in a major city (Vancouver area). Now having been retired for 13 years, I don't so much as own a slingshot. No weapons what-so-ever in my life. I wouldn't trade my life for yours, for all the money the NRA and Trump have in their bank accounts.

OK, I will concede that you were correct and found ONE American (Probably Progressive), that pretended to be Canadian, he did this while G Bush was in office as well. But I do have a curious question for Progressives, many progressives made a promise that if Trump was elected, you would move to Canada. Hmm..Why Canada which is predominately a white population? What's wrong with Mexico? Are Mexicans just Too brown for some of you Progressives? Do I sense a little racism?

What was so weird about THAT???
It was no more, or no less stupid than anything else he says!!! LoL

Not paranoid at all. If you were a cop then you know that when seconds count the police are only minutes away - that's not their fault. Its very easy for people (not necessarily you) who have never had to defend themselves want to ban guns. More and more people don't have the will to do it and they want to bring everyone down to their level.

I know a lot of cops and they would rather people be armed IF they are trained.

And yes, the US has more crazies than Canada does. lol

You don't get out much do you? US backpackers sporting the Maple Leaf was going on in the 60s.

Foreigners want to know: 'Why all the Guns?' 'Why all the religious extremists?' 'Why Vietnam?' 'Why the big deal about Clinton cheating on his wife?' "Why 'Shock and Awe?'" And the supreme conundrum 'Why Trump?'

Spoken like a true NRA Wingnut™.

Feiertag Loc: British Columbia, Canada

Good to hear you aren't paranoid. I couldn't careless if you own a gun. Most of my buddies own rifles or handguns. What I am dead against is a person owning an assault rifle. Why are you guys good with that? I don't get it.

Last I knew, Canadians had more guns per capita than the US. They certainly have a lot less gun violence. I thought it was because of a different mentality. Maybe it's because of their gun laws. Either way, they seem to have figured out something that we would be better off if we figured out. Maybe they just don't think they are cowboys.

Keenan Loc: Central Coast California

"Last I knew, Canadians had more guns per capita than the US."

I seriously doubt that is true.

EyeSawYou

Did you mean to say "If" Canadians had more guns per capita?
