  • Although it’s not available for the most serious violent offences — such as murder, sexual assault or aggravated assault — it can be used for lesser crimes.

    While this program isn't set up for serious offences, restorative justice can be brought to these situations too. It's usually less of an "alternative justice" and more of a parallel to our punitive justice system to but can bring healing to both victims and perpetrators.

  • As a white, cis, hetero, Christian male, I don't know even know if I'd be willing to go to the states! Maybe if it was for work, but even then I'd probably push back.

    I see a possible scenario where I cross the border for a day trip (go to a show, a game, or even just dinner), and can't leave. I know it's not very likely, especially given my privileged, but if that situation came to pass, that would be hugely disruptive. Before 2025, I'd say that scenario is almost impossible, as Canadians could even get home after 9-11.

  • That's not how legislation is typically written. Anyways, just because someone states their purpose doesn't mean that's actually their intentions. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

    I'm more than happy to support any measures which actually increase safety, but prohibiting these guns is just for show. Putting forward ineffective legislation like this wastes political capital which could have instead been used to actually make our society safer.

  • It's not a strawman. I am all for gun safety, but the rifles that have been recently "prohibited" are simply models that "look scary" while their sporterized counterparts have had their classification unchanged.
