I think we've found our compromise.

Incorrect? Are you sure?

This is the "woke" "virtue signaling" insanity we are dealing with up here.
Says we are getting serious about gun crimes but reduces the sentences for those committing gun crimes.
Says citizens cannot defend themselves with a gun but the bad guys who do will have their sentences reduced.

They must be pandering for the criminal vote.

The 2 things murderers want most:
1. A more defenseless populous on which to prey.
2. Lighter sentences when/if they are caught/convicted.

For Americans wishing to better understand Canadian politics, perhaps they should look beyond Facebook posts from a group describing themselves as "Proud Canadians working to defeat Trudeau" and newspaper opinion pieces.

Same should be said for the rest of the world trying to understand America - don't watch CNN, Fox News, etc.

It's a video of Trudeau on camera. Who cares what the source is? Would it be more believable if it came from the NY Times or MSNBC?

I chose the Toronto Sun because it is basically the last standing media source up here that isn't funded by the Liberals.
If you prefer, here is a sugar coated, deflective piece from the funded CBC that might be a little more to your liking? Notice how many times, even though this is a 100% on Trudeau, that they bring up the Conservatives.

Mark's opinion was spot on. If you can't see that then I can't help you. Read the T.O. article then tell me Trudeau still cares more about gun crime and not about future votes.

Instead, we have a virtue signaler in chief who talks about making streets safer while going soft on criminals.

Yes. Because, as demonstrated by Supreme Courts upholding regulations on guns, I am correct.

What regulations do you want?

That would just be a matter of my personal opinion, which would be no better or worse than anyone else's.

Per your previous comment, "reasonable prevention or rules" would also be subjective, so figured I'd ask what you thought was reasonable.

Yes. The amendment does not prevent regulations on types of guns and other aspects. The Supreme Courts has upheld various regulations, and Scalia himself spelled out limits. Unless you believe the 2nd amendment allows anyone to own a nuclear weapon or banned bioweapon, you yourself agree. Scalia used the example of a bazooka.
