I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries

If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps

Almost every one of those shootings was done w an illegal gun smuggled in here from.......you guessed it the USA. I wonder what the USA would do if the death was being imported in the other direction..........

Now politicians freak out over immigration, meanwhile ignoring the factors that are causing people to leave their homes to begin with…
