  1. I am saying that. You will never hear a Canadian supreme court justice expressing political views. They have more respect for their position and responsibilities in a constitutional democracy. A judge's job is to be impartial, that's why we have them.
  2. Bullshit. The Republicans and Trump were very open about their intentions when they stacked the court.
  3. The SCOTUS is not supposed to be political, its job is to interpret the constitutionality of the laws made by politicians. Its credibility depends on it and things like this is why their public credibility is at an all time low. It is supposed to be one of those checks and balances that Americans like you no longer believe in. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/21/favorable-views-of-supreme-court-fall-to-historic-low/ https://theweek.com/instant-opinion/1014690/attitudes-toward-the-supreme-court
  4. I’m not anti gun but the American obsession with them is insane. Abbot’s actions say otherwise. The phoney thoughts and prayers every time a school room full of kids get massacred says otherwise.
  5. Americans think gunfights in the streets over any dumb excuse are a fine thing.
  6. Of all the newspaper articles they could have posted, why that one?
  7. Your homicide rate compared to other developed countries proves it. Why can't you be honest and admit you think the body count is worth it.
  8. So let's make it more lethal by making sure everyone is armed.
  9. Give every id*ot a gun and people will get killed. Doesn't take anyone with more than a few brain cells to figure that out.
  10. Why do you need guns for self defence, only because everyone has them? it was your logic. Because it is legal to sell guns to anyone in the US, you bear no responsibility for those smuggled into other countries. If drugs were made legal in other countries, they should bear no responsibility for those smuggled into the US. Same goes for the drugs coming the other way to pay for those guns.
  11. You don't need a gun to drive to work or anything else constructive. Just using your logic when it comes to guns being sold and smuggled into Mexico.
  12. The vast majority of vehicle deaths are accidental, not homicide or suicide. Killing people is quite easy if you are given the right tool. Otherwise, not so much Guns are not lawful in Mexico. I guess if Mexico made drug manufacturing and sales legal, that would make it OK to sell them to criminals who are smuggling them into the US. Fair is fair. They obtain them illegally from Americans.
  13. Firearms homicide rates have nothing to do with suicides. Yours is at least 5 times that of most European countries and 3 times Canada. Killing people with a gun is easy and remote. Who is selling those guns to criminals? What is the difference between your gun manufacturers and dealers and drug dealers?
  14. You have to have a license to drive a truck. The truck also has to be licensed. Almost 50% more people are killed by firearms in the US than all motor vehicles combined. Which is the greater threat? Your 2nd Amendment isn't worth shit anywhere but your own country and it doesn't give your gun companies the right to dump guns in someone else's country. Get over yourself.
  15. Firearms make killing much easier and cleaner. No need to get all that nasty blood on your nice clothes. Mexico is suing US gun companies for dumping prohibited weapons in their country.
  16. Except it doesn’t of course. Most firearms homicides in Canada are with guns illegally smuggled from the US so your obsession with guns impacts us as well.
  17. The current yield on a Mexico 30 year bond is 10.199% with a 8% coupon. A $100 Mexico 30 year bond has a market value of $87 https://www.investing.com/rates-bonds/mexico-30-yeara A Canada 30 year bond yields 3.526% with a 1.75% coupon. Market value of $68 https://ca.investing.com/rates-bonds/canada-30-year-bond-yield
  18. Exactly, your intentional homicide rate is 5 times that of European countries and almost 3 times Canada.
  19. In 2021 almost 49,000 Americans died gun related deaths, compared to just over 32,000 from motor vehicles. That would be a disgrace in any civilized country.
  20. On the upside, you could buy one of these turkeys for a heavily discounted price and collect interest on the face value. But to do that, some sucker had to buy it at face value in the first place.
