There are many solutions proposed by firearms rights activists to problems of violence and crime. If you're interested, check out gundebate.ca

I'm not sure what handgun data you're talking about, but it's common for Canadians to misunderstand the state of firearms in Canada. Since handguns are restricted firearms, they're registered. This means we know every time one of them turns up at a crime scene and the registered owner is charged. And this simply doesn't happen. These handguns are not being used in crimes. So banning legal sale of handguns will change nothing regarding crime.

I want to do something about violence in our country too. I just want us to do something that will actually work because those involved are actually educated on the issue.

I just wish that the general public and the government were educated on existing firearms laws and regulations in Canada. Assault weapons and high capacity magazines have been illegal here for a very long time. I don't like politicians trying to score points on issues that aren't actually issues, the public just isn't informed about them.

Yeah I totally understand the idea. And I hope it helps us have more housing. But it sucks to know that it might also make it easier for more slum lords to exist.

It's crazy that our government just removed taxes for new apartment buildings, making it even more profitable for these corporations. I know we need to do something about the housing crisis but this just doesn't seem right at all...

"Work it in" is very important! If you don't, it will splatter everywhere and collect a bunch of dust and turn to gunk!

The most fascinating part of this to me is that roughly 88% of mixed breed dogs passed the test. So if you're just looking for a great dog, a mixed breed might actually have a better chance than a purebred!

Unless you're getting a lab. I've never met a lab that wasn't the bestest doggo ever lol

I once tightly rolled my dress shirt and dress pants into my dress shoes to save space. I knew I'd need to iron them before wearing them anyway, and it actually worked really well!

If I have extra shoes or sandals I'll strap them to the outside of the pack.

I also use a single compact fast-charging usb-c charger.

Toiletries can take up unnecessary space. I use a small bar of soap for both my body and hair instead of bringing shampoo. For shaving I ditch the handle and use a small tin of shave butter instead of a can of shaving cream.

Other than that, I just take less clothes than I think I'll need. I only take 2 t-shirts and a tank top when I go for backpacking trips. I just do laundry in the sink every couple days and it's great!
