Canada (again) does the right thing.

Taking action to help solve a national problem. What a concept. So this is what real leadership looks like, eh?

Canada bans assault-style weapons after mass shooting

 

"Canadians need more than thoughts and prayers," Troudeau said.
So that's what leadership sounds like.

 

There are some problems with the ban as “assault type weapons” are hard to define. Semi auto weapons were already banned here so the new ban is largely symbolic.

That being said I am all in favour of it. Ban handguns while we’re at it as far as I’m concerned. Shotguns and bolt action rifles for hunting and that’s it.

 

They still have a long way to go to atone for Nickelback, though.

 

And Justin Bieber ...

 

And Bryan Adams.

 

All pale in comparison to Ogie Oglethorpe.

 

I would really like to live there. Sane leadership. Nice people. Clean cities.

 

1) Rush
2) Ice Hockey
3) Really decent people

Makes up for Nickelback, Bieber and Bryan Adams ... easily.

 

The sane leadership is a judgement call. We have an immature child and you have a monster, both disasters. We do have nice reasonably safe cities though. Everything is expensive.

 

Yeah, very much a judgement call re: Trudeau. I will say this as an Ontarian: two months ago Doug Ford was a Trump-lite buffoon who was ruining the province but he has been tremendous throughout this pandemic here, showing leadership and being very upfront with the public during his daily updates, deferring to the medical experts and coming down hard on those who defy the social distancing regulations. Fortunately we won't have nuts with machine guns showing up at Queen's Park demanding to be able to go to Jack Astor's or Boston Pizza.
