@RaoulDook Every independent freedom index I see rates Canada in the top ten, (or close) even the American-based ones, and the US lags another 10 or so slots below. These ratings literally mean there are 20 or more countries more free than the US.
So, enjoy your indoctrination. I
wonder why people want you to think you’re the most free.
@RaoulDook You clearly are unaware of the crime statistics between Canada and the US. I’m an American-Canadian with lots of friends and relatives in the US. The fear of crime there is much higher than it is here. Despite knowing more Canadians the only people I know who have been shot are Americans.
I’m sure if I pressed you more, on any of this, you’d start spouting NRA propaganda. So just look up violent crime and gun crime statistics in both countries and let’s leave it at that.
@RaoulDook You’re showing your American indoctrination even more. You’ve been told over and over and over that the right to bear arms is of utmost importance. Gun ownership in Canada is quite high and yet we don’t have the violence Americans have to endure every day.
@RaoulDook @settoloki I can tell you Canada has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that guarantees about the same right as America’s BoR. The difference is that americans are regularly told theirs is the greatest document, so many believe it without even knowing what other countries have.
@L4s People don’t want to get caught breaking the law. Perhaps others wouldn’t like fighting false positives.
Solve that with lower fines and a suitably easy way to challenge them.
@hoot @L4s The free market will eventually take care of it, although it might take decades or longer to do so. If you don’t want to wait decades, then regulate it.
