Maybe but can PP bring Maxime Bernier back into the main conservative fold? I don't think he is willing to lose being a leader on his own and being second fiddle in the conservative party again. Yeah well, unfortunately the liberals have 3+ years to win back the hearts of all those loyal GTA folks and promise enough to others. Even you staunch Trudeau haters will have mellowed out by then

Duhh?

Does not change my point. I am not afraid to tell you anything. I am telling you that whatever you think, you cannot call a person crazy and take away their freedoms or rights without a long trial. As I said,hindsight has 20/20 vision. This happens all the time. Check the person out after they do some outrageous thing. Trying to accuse or identify them as mentally ill before they do something will never (or extremely rare) happen. What are they going to say...that the person may do something bad?? Anyone can be accused then.

who would have said he was mentally ill? Who would have stopped him from buying guns? All great in retrospect but the point I am making is that he was free to do what he wished without restrictions. How would you enforce red flag laws? You would have to have clear evidence and present it in court and by then, he could have done the damage. The US is so litigious that there is no way you can stop anyone form buying guns. As they say, hindsight has 20/20 vision. In the US,foresight has to be proven in court

On the contrary. When someone does the mass killings clearly (?) he/she has mental illness. Or do they? The pro gun people are quick to say we should not let people with mental illness have guns, but it is OK for normal people. How can you tell the difference before they commit the sections?? Nothing simple about it but it is simple to say mentally ill should not have guns.

How are you going to determine who needs mental health care until the do something?? There is no crazy person thermometer. So, if I kill someone, I get life in prison but if I kill 3, 4, 10, I have a mental problem. Hollywood?? Huh?? Teachers not doing their jobs? Police not doing their jobs? Exactly what jobs are not being done?

No you did not. You said "If they'd simply legalize all drugs and more importantly their production by qualified producers and distributors" Are you saying pharmaceutical companies and distributors are working against existing laws?

Nor the qualified distributors. It is the illegal manufacturer and illegal distribution that is the problem.

Criminal, by very definition is someone that breaks the laws of the land, whatever land they are in.

It is not the qualified producers that is the problem because most opioids on the street nowadays are not prescribed but made in garages or illegal factories overseas.

That is incorrect. Replicas yes. Criminals wlll have no more problem getting weapons now than before. A criminal does not register with the government, they get guns elsewhere.

Ha, it is not the business of government that is irrelevant Ha

Gangs, of one type or another have been around for millennia. Controlling or wiping them out has been impossible for any law enforcement. As for the drugs, well with BC now allowing 2.5 grams as a freebie it makes things even worse. I cannot fathom that free injection sites for users buying illegal drugs from illegal pushers and being to take illegal drugs freely while there are record numbers of overdoses is doing anything to diminish drug use.

OK. Really don't care about you and just pointing out you are a drama queen and do not know what you are talking about. Read the article and you may become a touch smarter. Difficult for you but it can be done. A cat and a handgun, brilliant comparison but expected nothing more LOL

Been trying to bust up street gangs since forever and they just get stronger.

Unsure how.

Neither did I but enough in the right places did..

Nope, your stupid statement triggered me. Read the article before you make baseless comments. Being uninformed and incorrect seems to be your forte. BTW, I am far form a liberal supporter. If you hate the son, you should have been around for the fool of a father. And followed by idiot Chretien. The only liberal leader that may have been OK was Martin abut he even pissed off his own party and out he went.

Read the whole story and don't be dramatic. "The handgun freeze would contain exceptions, including for elite sport shooters, Olympic athletes and security guards. Canadians who already own handguns would be allowed to keep them."

Anyone and everyone that wants a gun can and will get one, regardless of any laws, rules or regulations. This is governmental show business. Been tried and failed with all parties in power. Whatever one party does, the other changes it.

Not very evident with the leadership race going on now. Plus the increase in PPC members and the PPC attacks on conservatives. I think conservatives have a way to go to unite. Not to say they may not win because so many are really fed up with Trudeau. Wonder who the Conservative government would make deals with if they have a minority?? Would Jagmeet still be in the catbird seat?? Or bow to the Bloc?

Ha, good one coming from you that has been blaming the government for it all. Ha!!!

He is the leader and we chose him to be our national leader. Mistake? Perhaps but, maybe there was no one that was deemed better in the eyes of the public? That is why I keep saying i think we should have term limits too so the one in power cannot assume it is theirs forever and can do what they want. I am in firm favour of term limits for all politicians, federal, provincial and municipal. In Ontario we have had politicians in the seats for 40 years. In my city of Ottawa, there are councillors that have been there for 20, 30 years. these people become more than entitled and of course, gather pretty large pensions.

By a few. The rest of us are tired of it and tired of the few that keep harping on it. The problem is the overly dramatic comparisons with Hitler, communists, dictators, fascism and losing all freedoms and so on. Most Canadians tune that out now.

You are right, it will never "just go away:" because there will always be the fringe that brings it up at every opportunity but, the greater majority would and could not care less, even today. It is over.... get used to it.
