One of the many reasons I've always been so attracted to Canada is the feeling of safety I have in my homeland. However in the past few months there has been a shooting of a skateboarder in Vancouver as well as a boxing-day shopper in Toronto. There has been many reportings of gang violence throughout our country. I understand that it is impossible to be rid violence, but many of these aweful crimes have been committed with some form of firearm. Which can prevented. Canada tends to pride itself in its "no firearms policy" as opposed to our gun-nut sisters in the south, but the fact remains that we feel increasingly insecure. It feels like our humble country is adopting the United States way of gun violence. I don't want our wounderful country to go towards this direction and I want parliment to put alot of effort into getting rid of gun & gang related violence in our country.
What are your thoughts/concerns?
