A little background may help. Or not. It's for you to decide.
The first serious attack on gun ownership and use in Canada came in the early 1990's and was largely fueled by media spin on two violent mass shootings that occured, both in the province of Quebec. One involved a man who shot up the provincial legislature, known as the National Assembly. The second was at the Ecole Polytechnic in Montreal where the shooter specifically targeted women. What is ALWAYS suppressed in public discussions about those two events is that both perps were avowed Islamists.
The attack on our guns came not just in the form of the now repealed long gun registry but further onerous restrictions and outright bans on many other types of firearms that are only worse today.
This current assault on us is once again fueled by an Islamist mass shooting that, when you dig deeper, has positively chilling implications. In July we had a shooting in Toronto by a man named Faisal Hussein, known as the Danforth shooting. What came to light in the aftermath of that was the previous buried story of the shooter's brother being caught with 95 pounds of carfentanil, a drug 100 times more powerful that fentanyl. At the time and in subsequent releases, the authorities have characterized this as a small time drug dealer.
Small time? 95 pounds of Carfentanil is enough to kill everyone in North America 6 times over. The authorities lucked into stopping an islamist attack that would have made 9/11 look tame in comparison.

Liberals and leftists who suppress and twist information, to achieve and maintain power. Canada is close to being lost. They will take any tragedy and turn it for their own nefarious aspirations that ultimately are about subjugating the rest of us. This is what we vote for in Canada when we vote Liberal or for the socialist NDP and Greens.
King says he makes no apologies for his socialist leanings. He's proud of his father's Communist party membership and leanings. And yet, this insidious form of totalitarianism has been responsible for 100 million deaths in the 20th century. Thoroughly discredited. Venezuela is only the latest victim. And yet, they soldier on, now joined on their death march with their brother's in arms, the Islamists.
IT'S NEVER REALLY ABOUT REDUCING CRIME. LEGAL GUN OWNERS IN CANADA ARE REMARKABLY LAW ABIDING, STATISTICALLY SPEAKING.
This is really where we are. And if King is struggling to stop the latest threat, then he is struggling against his entire lifetime of political action and support. Whether he has been a useful fool or a devious agent is not for me to decide. But this is his legacy, and the legacy of millions of his fellow travelers at the moment.
