Great Article! And yes, it’s time to repeal section 33, or get rid of it all together.
#repealsectionthirtythree
We don’t need prayers for communities experiencing gun violence, we need action on lifting people up out of poverty stricken communities, and drug infested environments. We need strong role models in project area’s and in the schools. We need passes for community youth to attend community centers for change and strategic talks for community members, a support network for the parents and youth struggling to get out of poverty. They need a hand up, not a hand out! Poverty is the root of gun crime!
A couple of years ago I purchased some tickets to attend a a debate at the University of Toronto, Hart House. The subject, “Firearms Ban Efficacy, a Canadian Perspective”
The event wasn’t a debate in my opinion. Brian Lilley from the Toronto Sun newspaper attended as moderator, and all sitting on the panel, including Jordana Goldlist, a Toronto Criminal Lawyer gave their opinions and views on the gun violence in the concrete jungles of Toronto, with a comment on carding being the throw away card in criminal proceedings. Carding is essentially a discriminatory card.
There was definitely some raw emotion speaking from a man that lost his daughter to the Danforth shooter. He spoke to the panel, clearly wanting all weapons banned. I believe he even wanted police not to be allowed to carry guns. The weapons are already out there, in the hands of criminals having no respect to laws, or innocent bystanders, so disarming the police isn’t an option.
Justin Trudeau is under the influence, believing the gun violence will stop by banning firearms. Since over 1500 weapons have been band, the gun violence continues to rock a city to its very core. Gun related deaths are tragically common. Gun related violence occurs in every country, from school mass shootings to drug turf wars. Gun deaths are considered an epidemic in America where civilian gun ownership leads in the world.
Here in Canada we didn’t debate, we all agreed that gun violence is rooted in poverty.
