This is the best reasonable and clearly the important post of this thread, and I have been bashed for this in the past.
You are correct in all you say, and majority just dont get it about our Constitution and Charter. The majority of Canadians believe they have rights, they believe we have Freedom and Democracy (this OIC proves we don't) Harper used OIC to Ban Omar Kadars sister passport application, in 1942 it was used to enslave Japanese citizen in Canada during WWII.
The media is complacent in pushing a narrative and is it biased?..no it is not - it is a business and it produces content that it readers will consume on the left or right of a market share - there is no "Reporters" anymore, only content writers. It is a business model of survival in the 15 sec media wars attention span of people.
Gun owners think that "just wait until we elect a Conservative government" they will change it and make it right!!!. But most have no idea they are but pawns for political vote "getting" by demographics policies, not policies that benefit Canadians, who have been lost in anger identity politics.
Most have no idea how they are manipulated and kept in the dark about questions of rights and freedoms that they think they have. Many in gun community know defending your property is not an option, as you know it will lead to your arrest (justified or not), and they know it will result in seizure of firearms and a lengthy trial which will costs 10's of thousands of dollars even "defense fund" sold by certain firearms groups. Because you have no rights only privileges, and like teenagers - your privileges can be revoked at anytime - well because Mom/Dad (Feds) own the house and rules - and you have none until you move out. Slaves, serfs, compliant sheep..pick your name you fall into.
YET those same gun owners continue to believe that magical party loyalty will protect them, while not realizing if we continue to vote the same parties, we will get same result. Get mad at Red vote Blue - get mad at Blue vote Red. Whatever is done by libs, will undone by cons, which, will be redone libs and in the interim you have supported/approved/voted this knowing full well the risk..you pawns. Most of you have no idea, or apparently dont seem to care that nothing changes - that none of blue or red teams are talking changing the conditions (Charter or Constitution), to give property rights, self defence, free speech - why would they, it takes power from the same people who would use it OIC against you Blue/Red Teams. No; most are giving you hope to get your loyality, did Harper change the conditions of section 91 or 92...no, he gave you just enough hope to you to secure your vote....you were not needed after that..nor cared about..that is a fact.
Name me one party that will remove Section 91 and 92 of Firearms legislation, I can name two Libertarian Party of Canada (est 1973) and PPC (est 2018). Yet no one cares to support them or freedoms, I have ran in elections and had my message heard with heads shaking in agreement with policies presented...but only to be told..we must stop Wynne, we must stop Trudeau and can't take a chance to vote for (you) the ideas we believe in..and here we are...hoping on Conservative answer, which isn't - it is pandering policy to garner your vote - to be changed at the next election, but just enough steal your rights again...
Anyways rant over.
