Reading things like this makes it make sense as to why the government is putting big efforts into reducing legal gun ownership (and the type of guns targeted, ex. 50 cal rifles) instead of going after criminals and makes sense of things like the Online Harms Bill… The elites are trying to prevent a repeat of 1789 France or 1917 Russia.
This isn’t an article, it’s an opinion piece. Why didn’t they (National Post) put this out as an article if it isn’t just more of their FUD pushing conservative talking points?
There’s no info on when the RCMP paper was written, what the agenda is, who wrote it, or how it was discovered to make the ATIP request. It’s just a lot of opinion on the economy.
And then OP makes it about guns. If you’re going to add commentary at least put it in the comments so it can be voted on separately.
Also, National Post is garbage. They’re doing something in the code on the page which makes it stutter as I’m scrolling through.
I just saw the whole bit on conspiracy theories and it made me chuckle at OP’s guns comments.
