Notes from the Resistance
The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand. [More]
There’s that typical collectivist understanding of rights again, so unsurprising, expected, actually, to see being promulgated by The Atlantic.
We could start with asking how much the government making life unbearable has to do with the numbers, and then segue over to why one of the trump cards our domestic prohibitionists pull to ban guns is “suicide,” which they’re evidently all for if it’s the “assisted” kind.
I’d also be curious to know if there are dominant political and theological ideologies common among those seeking early checkout.
Nova Scotia’s trial systems are now “off limits,” with camping, hiking, fishing and even driving through the woods now forbidden. And those who get caught disobeying the ban, could be served with a hefty $25,000 fine. [More]
Why would President Trump want to make people who vote for and tolerate this a 51st state?

The Canadian gov has allocated almost $100k to a nationwide survey asking gun owners why they are not complying with the ongoing, failed, mandatory gun buyback. [More]
A point I don’t see being made here: Answering seems like a great way to incriminate yourself. Do they guarantee they won’t trace responses back and use them to establish probable cause? And why would you believe people who demand your guns?

Let’s check in with Canada to see what their police officers are up to [More]
They’ve sure strayed a long way from Sgt.Preston and Yukon King.

Canadian military issues ‘goose alert’- Soldiers and staff have been told what to do if they encounter the infamously aggressive birds, which have overrun the defense HQ in Ottawa [More]
Fortunately, counseling is available.
I’m reminded of one Christmas many years ago when we went to a friend’s place in Santa Barbara and I prepared a brace of geese with potato stuffing. Long story short, we were driving back to L.A. in my sister’s truck, and it was raining like hell along the coast in Ventura so even cracking the windows a bit resulted in a drenching. Her dog, who had been treated to more than her share of crisp, greasy skin, was on the floor releasing silent-but-deadlies, and we had to choose between getting soaked or literally gagging.
In this video, we explore the future of firearms regulations in Canada — without taking sides… We’ll look at the facts arguments and possible paths forward balancing the needs of public safety with respect for individual rights. [Watch]
In other words, you’re wasting our time. You realy believe it’s about “public safety”?
No wonder these people can’t decide.

Canadian prosecutors have charged a 30-year-old Vancouver resident with murder for killing at least 11 people aged between 5 and 65 and injuring dozens after he rammed an SUV through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in the western Canadian city… Authorities described Lo as having had a “significant history” of interactions with authorities involving mental health. [More]
In Canada, you gotta wonder if the authorities are the ones with the mental health issues:
Ontario must pay for surgery to give trans resident both penis and vagina

A man going by Javi … has been smuggling more people into Canada since President Donald Trump instilled strict border policies. Javi works with the Sinaloa Cartel…[More]
See, you make ’em a 51st state, you make their residents voting citizens… and just look at what they already vote for without illegals.

Meet the family renouncing their US citizenship because of Trump…and it doesn’t come cheap [More]
I guess these herbivores don’t care that makes them “prohibited persons,” but I wonder if they even know it’s no longer their choice.

Ottawa outlaws another 179 types of firearms, announces classification review [More]
That’s still not enough for Mark Carney.

Mark Carney to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s next prime minister [More]
And he just can’t wait to confiscate even more guns than Fidelito.
[Via Jess]
The United States has more than eight times the population of Canada, and even massive death and destruction brought about by our gun policy pales in comparison to the number of people the Canadian government managed to kill during that period. [More]
Notice how everyone here wh0 says “Healthcare is a right” wants to ban guns…?
[Via Michael G]
“I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust nationwide competitive process,” he said. [More]
So Fidelito hasn’t actually resigned…
Just sayin’. I’ve seen a lot of movies where the villain everyone thought was toast springs back up and attacks…

Justin Trudeau ‘is on brink of resigning’ as his liberal government crumbles [More]
He’s humiliating himself, Chickenhawk Bolton. As are you, if you weren’t too invested in sending others to war to realize it.
Tangentially-Related UPDATE
Canadian per Capita Euthanasia Deaths Now Beat U.S. Gun Deaths [More]
Don’t let the propaganda saying otherwise sway you. Over-regulation is a public health problem, especially with the stresses making earning a living or keeping a business open harder. I suspect if you did a study, you’d find the same results for shortened lifespans as Dr. Lott found about homicides, and that makes it look like it applies to the entire population.
