I am a Canadian ... and today I voted in our federal election...

I am a Canadian, a Jew and I am licensed to possess firearms including what we call restricted firearms in Canada - which are handguns and I take proficiency VERY seriously..

Of the main parties in Canada being Liberal and Conservative one of these two has shown itself to be deeply anti semitic.. and that same party has repeatedly attacked citizens who are licensed for firearms.. In Canada firearms are not permitted to be used for self defence - their only legal use is for hunting or sport shooting (target shooting).. Handguns are restricted to range use only ... More over one of those parties has had an immigration policy that has resulted in an explosion of anti semitic hate crimes and has caused a crisis in housing and strains on our health care system..

So I voted, then I took my Mother to vote and my Wife will vote tomorrow..

@Guardian So let me ask you.. do you think it's ok that the Liberal Government has made life very dangerous for Jews in Canada? Jews that were BORN in Canada.... Do you have Jewish friends or have Jewish people you work with? That is ONE issue of many upon which I judged the Liberals and the Conservatives.. Carney came out yesterday agreeing that Israel had committed Genocide.. (they have done no such thing).. and used his false assertion to justify an arms embargo on Israel... He has pledged to give $100 million dollars of YOUR money to the Palestinians.. Are you ok with that?

I mean people who do not shoot recreationally or hunt - honestly don't much care about gun owners in this nation and many are willing to hang us out to dry ... its not right but I understand the ambivalence.. there are 2.4 million of us and we and our families are motivated to go vote...

The housing crisis and price elevation is directly a factor of out of control immigration policy fostered by the liberal government.. Rent and mortgages are impossible these days..

When you break it down.. its like eating a large steak - you need to examine it one bite at a time.. Then the conclusion is a bit easier to come by....
