  • This is a really important point. I’ve already seen this when talking with people. And it’s also really hard to differentiate the “immigration is good in moderation” sentiment from the “immigrants are ruining the country” sentiment.

    Because in the proper numbers, immigration keeps our country alive by filling in gaps and growing the economy. But if the numbers are too high, we have more competition for work and housing and all our other economic resources.

    I think nowadays the narrative is seems to be “immigration is always good and if you say otherwise you’re a bigot”. But we should certainly make sure we are intentional about how many people we bring in because we want our country to be the best it can be for everyone in it and everyone entering it.










  • There are many solutions proposed by firearms rights activists to problems of violence and crime. If you’re interested, check out gundebate.ca

    I’m not sure what handgun data you’re talking about, but it’s common for Canadians to misunderstand the state of firearms in Canada. Since handguns are restricted firearms, they’re registered. This means we know every time one of them turns up at a crime scene and the registered owner is charged. And this simply doesn’t happen. These handguns are not being used in crimes. So banning legal sale of handguns will change nothing regarding crime.

    I want to do something about violence in our country too. I just want us to do something that will actually work because those involved are actually educated on the issue.






  • This seems like a pretty reasonable take.This article does seem intentionally devisive. From the very beginning, its premise was that anyone supporting this bill is automatically pro-life, and uses that as justification to dismiss all conservative MPs. It jumps to huge conclusions based on very little.

    I don’t understand those disagreeing with you. If you heard a story about a woman who was assaulted, any reasonable person would be angry about that. Would you not be even more angry if you heard that she was pregnant with full intent to have the baby?

    We all treat pregnant women as special. Because a wanted pregnancy is very special. Anyone assaulting someone who is pregnant should get the maximum punishment the law allows.

    The most fascinating part of this to me is that roughly 88% of mixed breed dogs passed the test. So if you’re just looking for a great dog, a mixed breed might actually have a better chance than a purebred!

    Unless you’re getting a lab. I’ve never met a lab that wasn’t the bestest doggo ever lol
