He's the poster child for the sad reality that is now Canadian society.
Most people actually "wanted" this. That's the worst part.
He's gone about it in an underhanded kind of way but the writing was on the wall. He said he'd do it, people elected him for it and now they're cheering him on.
Honestly I was born about 60 kms too far north. In the past 5 years I feel like I'm part of a chain gang (general population) who mostly thinks they'll escape over the hill (get what they want from politicians) and I'm screaming at them to stop because I know it's a cliff and I don't want to be taken down with them because they don't realize it yet.
As I mentioned in the other thread, the media is complicit in brainwashing people into thinking they want something that in fact the "powers that be" want. This is no different. When they repeat the same bullshit Trudope is spewing, instead of fact checking and putting it into context, you end up with a mindless mass of people who are let loose to vote for their downfall. All they did on the news today was throw out buzz words and played on peoples heart strings instead of focusing on how criminals don't care about laws and it will always be that way.
All I know is that historically any government that has implemented any kind of weapons control that increases the gap in power between the state and the people, the people eventually end up fucked.

We don't have have the second amendment here in Canada but with guns in the hands of law abiding hunters and target shooters, it basically results in the same effect of deterring wannabe Maos and Hitlers. Lest we let them steal all our weapons in the name of security, because it might be a funny thought now, but the rainbow shirts might march those who think marriage is only between a man and a woman off to reeducation camps because it's (insert year here).
And no I'm not being over dramatic. If it only happened once in all of recorded history, I'd hold a different opinion but FFS, it's been multiple times to varying degrees of suffering and it's like throwing a rock up into the air and expecting it not to fall back down with gravity. Power gaps=oppression of the weaker party, guaranteed.
