Most regular Canadians include: low income single parent families individuals on disability individuals working minimum wage individuals running out of EI individuals opting out of employment to care for elderly parents individuals on leave from work due to illness As far as I can tell, these people have skin in the game. Can you tell me why these people don't have skin in the game. Because I just can't seem to follow your logic. It makes no sense to me at all.

Alrighty.

Oh. So you are speaking for rich folks? And not for the regular Canadian citizen.

I think you need to dig a little deeper shady to understand gun violence in the u.s. And to even compare it to hunting rifles in Ontario shows a lack of understanding on the subject matter. And it's a complete disgrace given the horrific shootings of kindergarten children, theatre goers, folks just doing their job, politicians just doing their job etc. it goes on and on and on and you are comparing this to hunting rifles in Ontario. This clearly shows your lack of emotional intelligence when analyzing world events.

Seriously? You are asking this question of Canadian culture? Canada does not have a violent gun culture. Aren't you glad you live in Canada!

Because we don't have a problem with mass shootings, that's why.

So can you add further thought on this article Because I don't really know how to respond to this.

Uh shady. We don't have gun violence that's worth pursuing banning guns.

I think you need to define 'skin in the game'. I can't really respond without more clarification. And an opinion isn't taken seriously without something to back up the opinion otherwise it's someone talking out of their ass.

This thread is complete and utter nonsense. And your inability to defend your opinion confirms it.

Well, we know these Canadians have no skin in the game. They don't deserve to vote.

You didn't answer my question but I am assuming you would not want Canadians to vote if they receive disability (this would include vets) and low income single parent families. Is there any other segment I am missing?

A great response to a stupid threat.

Can you be more specific as to the segments of the Canadian population you think shouldn't vote, other than a vague generalization of 'taxpayers'. You mentioned retirees and students can vote. Good on you!

For gods sake shady. Lose the partisanship and address the real issues of society dealing with mental illness.

Mass shootings are not down.

I won't disagree with you on that point. There is a bizarre culture in America to gain fame

What does that have to do with what I posted?

They can't. Unions! At one time I thought unions were useful. Not so much anymore.

and this is the most important point in this discussion.

This reminds me of the postal workers who refused to deliver pamphlets that displayed pics of aborted fetuses. And the union sided with them.

Studies have also shown (and I'll post later on im on my iPhone) that while rates of mental illness haven't increased much, mass shootings have.

Not sure what your point is and your arguments are becoming rather boring.

Right. You are so predictable.

Yes, they are.
