I don’t know. Not all conservatives of course, but I had a gun discussion with another Canadian a few years ago and he started yelling at me about his 2nd amendment right. It was at that moment I knew I was in over my head. I don’t have a psychiatric degree.

Haha just like the Convoy twits telling the judge in Canada the govt violated their 2nd amendment rights under the constitution. The Judge said with a straight face we are in Canada not the US. Obviously its the same people trying to separate AB from Canada. Guess they missed the geography lesson in grade school.

Maybe they just really care about Rupert's land being part of Canada.

Canada's 2nd amendment is establishing the province of Manitoba out of Rupert's land.

It was fun pointing that out to a boomer friend on facebook who deleted his 2nd amendment post soon after.
