Great post. Thank you for organizing this so well!

Thank you so much! Canadian Famous is the one on Bandcamp only, right?

My understanding is that this covers only disinformation about Elections Canada, not in general, like news about people, politicians, provinces, policies, institutions, etc…

I suggest to also pin + sidebar one of Canada’s guides to identify and report disinformation.

• https://www.canada.ca/en/campaign/online-disinformation.html (my favourite — but be careful with the “fact-checking accounts” video, it is a bit out of date, since people can buy verification tags now)

They are also very friendly with everyone, try to stay neutral, and more important, hold the key to a lot of money.

But they did not achieve that just by giving people guns, they teach it in schools, hold shooting competitions, lots of bureaucracy, and you can be charged for improper use of your equipment. Their society is not as divided, and they also have good support for their citizens.

Looking around the world, the places that controlled gun violence well either banned or added more bureaucracy. But it appears that people prefer to go the Australian way.

Montreal was a big one. I think the last big mass shootings were all smuggled from the USA, or stolen from the police (Nova Scotia 2020).

I meant murder with guns in general. It feels like there is always a pundit saying the weapon being black, or having a handgun handle increases lethality… and red makes it faster, more dakka. It feels it is more for economic reasons (block competition) than to solve any real problem.

There is this one in 2022, it is not as big, but the guy killed multiple people with legal handguns. https://siu.on.ca/en/directors_report_details.php?drid=2360

Technically, she should be representing the needs of her riding. Kind of sad when a politician only runs on one issue, I hope that is not the case and that ridding gets a good representative.

My 80yo father-in-law has some drones, he will be more useful than me, I should probably save for a good one and start practicing.

Found some tikka t3x on the used listing here, I was trying to find their brochure to see which model they recommend for conversion to 7.62, I imagine a .308 Win would work.

Yeah, just infantry, we are talking about rocket launchers, anti-tank grenade launchers(RPG famously), LMG, manpads. Then you have things you can mount on a truck, then you have vehicles itself…

You also have support from other countries and people, sharing resources, and intelligence. You do not resist USA or Russian with just a bunch of minutemen with walmart weapons. Even harder if they do not care for civilian lives.

You might have some success disrupting some logistics in the partisan life, but not without a considerable support from modern military and allies.

well regulated militia

I might be wrong, but that person’s argument seems to be about the individual owner’s paper on preserving our sovereignty, independent of the calibre size.

Not really sure where you read that statement, it was not what you quoted.

But I don’t know of a nation that allows civilians to buy the equipment Afghanis used to resist Russia or USA.

No one is using legally attained weapons to kill people.

The problem is, they are using legally attained weapons to kill people.

And every time they do, the news makes sure that it is described, and politicians use it as an argument for more restrict control and weird rules.

They do that because it is easy, and it does not alienate their base and lobbyists. It does not mean it will solve the problem in the long term.

Not so long ago, they banned a tamagotchi because thieves were using 15K USD devices to unlock cars.

Do you prefer the Switzerland bureaucracy than ours?

Also, not sure how that helped them with…

/Check notes on the Switzerland wars./

Afghanistan war.

Modern militaries are on a different level than “A well regulated Militia” or whatever other 2A BS this is.

.22 will be useless and they start shelling us.

I feel like anyone LARPing or dreaming with military campaign would be better served by practicing with RC planes and drones, tanking cool pictures, breathtaking videos, or just doing cool aerial tricks.

How did you get all that from the article? It was very short, am I missing something?

The only thing I read there is “person is running for this riding with this party”.

Sorry, I don’t follow, care to explain, please.

Wasn’t the equipment and training they got to resist many invasions over the century, always from external groups? As far as I know, Afghani gun laws are very restrictive and bureaucratic.

Liberal majority with 61.4%

With this, the prospect of electoral reform seems bleak.

But it looks better than the alternative with 1% chance.
