Canada has never stood on their own feet and has very little military capabilities.
They have great people and soldiers but not the resources. And you never had to make it a priority since the US would not allow anyone to ever attack one of our neighbors.
Keep living in denial to fact. At least you finally stepped up and started meeting your nato defense spending obligations but only after Trum said meet them or we won't protect you.
So it takes a threat for you to keep your obligations your word means little to nothing. Even with your recent increase we spend 15 times more.
Markets will recover and blow past all time highs. In the morning you will still be a Canadian a subject that need a permission slip to own an air gun. Still in the US shadow. Fingers crossed some in your country will break away and get their independence.
The gun thing is kinda funny and I will admit, ridiculous at times. But...at the same time, In Indiana can you walk into a gun shop and buy a shotgun with a 10" barrel and walk out in 5 minutes like me or do you have to comply with NFA rules and have fingerprints taken, photos taken, pay a $200 tax and wait for approval before taking possession? I don't know for sure about Indiana, that's why i'm asking, but I know in many states you can't roll into a gun shop and walk out with that thing like I can minutes later for the cost of the gun only. Apples and Oranges is my point I guess. There's also a lot of irony in "your word means little to nothing" but I won't get into that whole debate because what's the point?
Yes i need NFA approval for short barrel (below 18") shorth barrel rifle (below 16"), suppresors, and machine guns that were registered before May 1986 and all other weapons( catch all category for things like cain and pen guns short barrel over and under ect.
And as of January 1st there is no $200 tax. The gun laws are ridiculous and contradicting here for sure. Can you buy and carry hand guns. Here the only requirement is be over 21 not felon, not a wife beater or under som other restrictions. Carry open or concealed no permit needed. You can carry a hand gun at 18 just not buy them from a licensed dealer.
I hate it each time I read about the continuing restrictions in Canada. Recently watched a clueless rep talking about going door to door to collect the new prohibited weapons 98% of people didn't comply turning in. Crime is rising and they dont have enough manpower and think they can poll or get people to go door to door. Local cops seenmt to not plan on helping out so there is hope. But again im not there and dont spend any time looking into it just articles that pop up.
