A 2024 Fall Economic Statement, dated December 16 and released by the federal Department of Finance, states that the government “proposes to provide $597.9 million over three years, starting in 2024-25, to Public Safety Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to safely remove prohibited firearms from communities…
How it’s going.
From the Americans?
No, I don’t want to die.
From the Chinese of Russians? Perhaps.
Hey, there’s a small army of Canadians behind enemy lines in Florida and Arizona. Some of them have boats, so there are some naval capabilities, too.
Bring it on! Those Yankees won’t know what hit them when they get attacked with a pincer move.
Too bad most of them are over 80 : )
C’mon man – if the Russians took over we would be paying 13% income tax, have almost no government debt and be surrounded by the best looking ladies on earth!
100%!
“…be surrounded by the best looking ladies on earth!”
Maybe, but do you really want to live surrounded by strippers? Sleeping with one eye open in case they try to steal the gold out of your teeth, or one of your kidneys…
Defend the 65% communist society, not freaking likely. It is ridiculous trying to navigate through life in what this country has become after decades of liberal socialist communism.
If you haven’t seen it yet, do watch Gladiator 2. You’ll see two super gay, super fey co-emperors who live life to excess without any care about the Roman citizens they are charged with responsibly governing.
While watching it, I couldn’t stop thinking of Trudeau and the Liberals.
Take up arms to defend Canada? Defend what Canada? The ultra-trans, unlimited immigrant Canada? Why?!?
At this point and with our current political characters, I would be tempted to join the other side.
Canada is a joke of country, run by thieving fools and populated mostly, by SHEEP.
Further to … I would not go fight any rich men’s wars.
I don’t wish to die fighting for the greed and stupidity of others.
“If you haven’t seen it yet, do watch Gladiator 2.”
I can’t. As soon as they cast a black actor in the role of a white historical figure, they lost me.
(and I like Denzel….just not as Macrinus. Who was an ARAB.)
“Take up arms to defend Canada? Defend what Canada? The ultra-trans, unlimited immigrant Canada? Why?!?”
Same here. I’d fight the Russians or the Chinese, but not the Americans.
I wouldn’t fight anyone to defend Canuckistan, because there’s simply no country to defend. My values as a Canadian has been eroded as the state tries to change them. Our culture has been decimated by extreme (and illegal) immigration. Our history has been re-written, and our historical figures who founded Canada have been defamed, demeaned, and vilified. Finally, our economy has been dismantled and destroyed to the point where we can no longer sustain ourselves without the aid (and mercy) of big (totalitarian) government.
What we have left is Canuckistan, and is as foreign to me as a country as Russia or China is.
Why would I want to risk my life to defend that?
That’s why I associate myself (some would say that I “identify”) as an American. My current values are more in line with Americans than it is with Canuckistanians. My only wish is that one day, there will be enough of NORMAL thinking (former?) Canadians who value freedom and accountability as much as I do, creating a tipping point, and we NORMAL thinking Canadians can actually restore Canada to it’s former glory. As it stands now, Canuckistan could GFI. Let it fall. We need it to fail so that we can rebuild it and clean up the mess.
In case you were wondering… GFI = “Go F__k Itself.” Just to be clear.
My wife suggested we watch it a few weeks back.
Hard no.
Yes, agreed, reminded me of Trudeau too.
If u look around Twitter, it is most amusing to see the people who declare they will fight to defend Canada. Journalist types. The ones who want a rifle powered by electricity. And a reaallly long extension cord.
You got me really laughing at that. I wasn’t expecting that kind of humor here in the morning when I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet or fed the cats
They also want battery powered combat vehicles just like those RC GI Joe ones. To save the environment you know.
What about a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?
Hey, only what you see, pal.
turd called it a post national state with no core identity.
So what is it that’s being defended? I just want to know.
This is the lowest level of sensibility and reasonableness shoved down our throats yet.
There is nothing left to defend.
I am surprised at the 45% yes. I don’t have an x account otherwise their would be one more no vote.
Don’t worry, none of that 45% has ever touched a gun. They’re scary, isn’t that right, mommy gov?
That would be 45% of those that follow the cornflake.
Most of them likely 90% are liberals.
So if you extrapolate based on the fact that there is an over sampling of liberal progressive types but less than half of them would “take up arms”, I’m guessing that “team Canada” talking point isn’t resonating quite as well as they thought it would.
In the summer, there is a small fleet of perch fishing boats on our Vermont lake that we call the Canadian Navy. I guess I will have to keep a close eye on them with binoculars this summer, just in case they have any mischief in mind. You know, like in the move The African Queen.
Not sure I am supposed to be fraternizing with you guys anymore. I will have to check.
It’s now down to 42% “yes”.
Would I fight to defend Canada? Already did and when I came home my country didn’t care and my government sold me out. Not doing it again. You’re all not worth it
Chris “would I fight to defend Canada? Already did.
When I was forced out after 13yr 10 mo 2 days Pierre the turd and his lot stole $2,000.00 from me.
Would I fight to defend Canada again? Not on your life.
The government vis a vis a statement from the AG said that Canadians don’t have a right to defend themselves.
Taking a cue from that position, if I cannot protect myself from criminal acts that pose a hazard to me and mine, what logic, or more importantly, what part of the Trudeau charter compels me to take up arms in defence of this country?
I’ll wait.
Yep, why would I defend a country that does not allow me to defend myself?
Hey, wait a sec. Weren’t we just told that certain people are “oiling their g*ns and sharpening their kn1ves” over Trump?
Where’d those certain people get all that stuff from? That’s illegal in Canaduh.
I’m supposed to take up arms to ensure that my arms will be taken from me?
“I’m supposed to take up arms to ensure that my arms will be taken from me?”
Well said, Walter. So sick of having my rights taken away one at a time over the course of decades.
So, Warren, let me get this straight. You’re asking if I’ll illegally take my now prohibited, but heretofore not confiscated, weapon from my safe, patriotically shoot a few Yanks, then triumphantly return this weapon to my safe to await its confiscation? Asking for a friend.
There is a significant difference between defending one’s homeland and defending the regime that runs it.
As far as I’m concerned, the regime running Canada is beyond redemption, and I would celebrate its destruction.
The trick is not to replace it with a worse one, and, IMHO, a well-regulated militia would be instrumental in this regard.
You’re not allowed to defend your home. Weren’t you listening?
A well-regulated militia composed of free citizens is our ruler’s worst possible nightmare. The Commons, unwashed peasants one and all, empowered with arms and training? Led by more commoners?
Like sunlight to a vampire.
L- Magna Carta 1215, By declaring the Crown and agents thereof to be subject to the Rule of
Law and documenting the Liberties held by free men, the Magna Carta provided the foundation for individual rights in the Anglosphere Common Law jurisprudence.
In Canada for it to be restored, would you be willing to fight? That is the question!
Since the Magna Carta was brought about by a populist uprising of regional powers e.i. The
equivalent of municipalities and provincial governments. Who challenged the abuse of power
by the national government. How it would apply to a government headed by a petulant
tyrant et al, who believe that Canada is a post nation-state is an open question.
The Canadian ship of state is rudderless with neither a captain, nor a crew.
Canada turned its back on common law in favor of statute law, a successful bloodless coup perpetrated by the legal industry. You only have as many rights as our Law Societies feel you should have.
Actually
The Magna Charta came about because the barons got tired of providing tribute without recompense from the crown.
While John kept demanding more from his kingdom and expecting his lords to collect taxes (reigning by grace God meant if you refused an order from the King you were disobeying God).
The barons got a wake up call when their parish priests started telling them the peasants were not filling the collection plates like they used to and maybe a change in management was in order.
The Barons summoned John to Runnymeade and posed the question “so oow made you king?” following with a rejoinder that he could collect the taxes without their help unless he agreed to obey the laws he gave assent to that they agreed to.
So at that point the belief that government was ordained by God was supplanted by the idea that government served at the pleasure of those that they governed. And if this displeased the King it was responded to with “oh really? You and whose army?”
Apologies for the diatribe but your post was too good an opportunity to let pass.
The 45% are all government Fifth-Communists, er “workers” , with absolutely everything to lose.
You mean the government administration who is tearing down statues (and reputations) of our historical figures, admonishing people to be “global citizens”, humiliating us as oppressors and land-stealers, telling us that Canada is a “post-national state with no core identity” wants us to use guns (shudder) to defend the country after telling us that nobody needs guns?
What do our “first nations” have to say about this? Many have served in overseas wars before this. Canada won’t do anything anymore without their input.
First Nations have brethren across the border with whom they operate an import export business through their self proclaimed territories. They don’t care what side wins or loses as long as the prospective benefits continue to rain upon them.
Why would anyone take up arms to defend a nation that its own political leadership has described as “genocidal” in front of the international community, and lacking in any core national identity or value?
Don’t guns emit carbon dioxide?
I seriously doubt that even one of the dopes proclaiming their intention to defend Canada to the death would even show up to oppose a military invasion.
And don’t forget, the US military would wipe them all out in a morning exercise.
I say they should go for it, this country needs all the stupid people to be culled. The Death Jabs didn’t quite do the job, so, I support all the delusional LIEberals.
Go ahead, take up arms, March against the Yanks.
Beer and Popcorn!
There is a long, long list of laws and policies which have been imposed on Canadians in the past couple of generations… the country I grew up in is dead.
What would I be defending?
marc
I would gladly take up arms to defend canada, against ottawa!
Now there is a plan, GYM!!
If we took up those arms that we had to bury, or retrieve from the canoe rides in the initial effort to hide them from our government, I’m sure that same government would be knocking on our doors to “Buy Back” those same guns.
No. Not going to take up arms.
Well you know very well that your response is different from the question being posed by Warren Kinsella, as many others seem too 😉
I am pleased that Warren’s informal poll, includes the checkmark indicating one’s voted, show the figures have changed from last evening when it was marginally in favor of “no” and now appears to be well into the “no” safe zone.
I don’t think it’ll get to that in Canada, people are worn out and in the mornings I actually think the chance of the #Libranos winning in the next general, is within a few canted Liberal promises, they could pull it off with the entirety of the MSM’s supports. In the evenings, I think “F-that” and the Conservatives will win in a landslide. It’s a difficult choice advocating for freedom and liberty, it can’t be had without solid gov’t support, the Canadians see it sliding away, maybe the west of Canada could have it, yet the Americans need to deal decisively with an overbearing federal (weaponised) law set as well. I doubt the freedom of 1976 is going to return anytime soon.
#justtalking
GYM actually made a great suggestion. GYM, I would join you on that crusade.
fc, wouldn’t want you on my team, only MEN need apply.
Well now…
PROVE to me that I am not a man, GYM.
But I think we’ve all seen what kind of a man you really are. Case in point ^^^^!
Oh, and this MAN would really love to meet you in a back alley somewhere!
Is that MAN enough for you, GYM???
Whimp!
No at 64%.
WOLVERINES!
What? That’s already taken?
How about the moose?
Mooses?
Canadian Bacon
Meese.
“Furniture Boy…”
That’s comedy gold right there folks!!
Well done.
A more relevant poll question should be are you willing to take up arms against the governments of Canada to restore a constitutionally minimal non-intrusive government based on the inviolate principles of individual liberty, property rights and free speech and limited to a voluntary, one month per year, single term, randomly selected legislature.
Yeah about that.
Back when those poxy rebels got all whiny about “the King” aka the parliament in Westminster telling them they needed to pay their fair share of the debt accumulated during the French-Indian dust up and be content that they should forget any idea about expanding west, that they had the temerity to send one of their agents up into the recently created province of Quebec (the one were they allowed all the corrupt local magistrates to keep their senicures in exchange for a cut to the “king”).
The local population at the time had the good sense to remain “loyal subjects” (aka muscled by the local magistrates that should they join up with the rebels “sumptin very bad cud appin”).
So in spite of the rebels best efforts, the new province of Quebec stayed “loyal” ( scared into compliance lest they be hung in the town square).
And that grift has continued to this day, albeit with a different set of royalty demanding fealty from the peasants.
What nerve…they take our guns away and now soft shelled, squat to pee bitches like Kinsella wants me to rally around the flag and defend his sorry ass, GFY.
I had patriotism slapped out of me during covid. Being called a “white supremacist”…”racist” and a “misogynist” in my own country by my own PM is not something I take lightly.
I will welcome the 82nd airborne as liberators. Failing that… Alberta bound.
BTW…Kinsella, pat yourself on the back, you’ve just replaced Patton Oswalt for having the most punchable face. Coyne once more is in third place.
I’m already here. I’m fortunate that I actually made it, and so far, it’s working out very well.

Witnessing a society that applauded businesses being destroyed so they could virtue signal their seasonal flu, or the applause given when people lost their jobs, families, homes for refusing a toxic, untested, and proven dangerous injection, while the media, governments, and unions slapped tax upon tax, on the working class,……. I would not bother to even pee on some if they were on fire at this point. Canada is done. let’s have the funeral and remarry.
Now do ‘Would you take up arms to defend Quebec ?’
I prefer, would you take up arms to prevent Quebec from separating. I’m guessing 5% at most and all of those live in Hull and work for the feds.
When my prohibited guns get unlocked it’ll be because I’ve had enough of the people who prohibited them and none of them are Americans.
Yeah, that’s right…you’re a Canadian badass andy coyne, uh huh. “You’re in a mood” that’s right baby!!!. Laurentian fags are coming out of the woodwork it seems.
Can I defend myself against (the government of) Canada?
That is my real oppressor, at the moment.
While I love my country, everyone agrees whats been done to it, to make it not worth fighting for, anymore.
My poor relatives that gave their time and efforts to this country are spinning in their graves!
Defend Canada? Yes.
Defend the Liberals? No.
