[K Douglas]

Overall downward trend from 2004-2014. Then 2015 rolls around and the trend rises quite rapidly.
Anyone want to take a guess what happened in 2015?

The Liberals led by JT took power

 

[Mr Deeds]

Ya let's blame him for a gang banger getting caught in a drive by or a night club shooting. I guess you'll want to blame him for the hot weather today as well

its all because pot became legal

No, it was because Justin's black and brown face virtue signaling photos were personally released by him, the worst Prime Minister of Canada in the whole wide world.

Maybe Trump will post his address in hopes some armed deranged lunatic will go after him like he did to Obama

Bro...you need to lay off Trump for once...for a guy who lives in Canada...I've never seen someone affected by Trump this bad..

No pot smokers aren't violent, maybe his stance on crime and bail reform have something to do with it. He wants to take away legal guns but does nothing about the illegal guns coming in. A true Idiot

The Tds around here is severe. He hasn't been President for 3 years and the posts remain endless. They are afraid of him winning again even though he won't

Charts are fun:

Spurious Correlations

Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

Correlation is not causation. Let me ask: what major policies did Trudeau pass that would spur gun violence? And, please keep in mind that Harper was PM until October of 2015.

 

[K Douglas]

John Tory was elected Mayor of Toronto in October 2014
Trudeau was elected in October 2015.
Tory responsible for policing in Canada's largest city.
Trudeau government responsible for justice, immigration and border enforcement.

Should be noted that from 2010-2104 Rob Ford was Mayor of Toronto and Stephen Harper was Prime Minister of Canada. During that period there was a notable downward trend in gun homicides.

Bottom line is elections matter

Interesting.

So what plans, policies, procedures and directives did Ford enable that created this downward trend in gun homicides that you cite?

And while you at it, how bout Harper's role in this downward trend?

We can learn from the past, from these masters of curbing gun homicides.

Tory got rid of community policing, guns and gangs task force, carding, school resource officers and educed frontline officers and cut the TPS budget. Sounds like a real conservaitve eh?

I'd hazard a guess and say that the Trudeau government rolled back criminal justice reforms implemented by the Harper government. Such as mandatory minimum sentences for gun crime. Likely appointed bleeding hearts to parole boards. Extra credit for time served in pre trial custody. Early release of prisoners. You know the typical Hug a Thug mentality.

What's he suppose to do shut our southern border down ? We can't stop American guns from coming in neither can Mexico. We can't stop cocaine fetenoyl or Asian carp either. The Americans want to ship guns here they don't give a flying fuck

If they wanted to stop it they could, they don't give a shit. They can stop or foil terrorists attacks or attacks being planned on politicians but not guns. Stick your head back in the sand

Explain how they can stop and keep stopping guns coming in into the future.

 

[Gooseifur]

Explain how they can stop and keep stopping guns coming in into the future.

How do they stop terrorists from exploding bombs, hijacking planes or politicians being killed? It's called investigation. An old tool of law enforcement that works. If they really wanted to do something they could? Since 9/11 how many terrorist actions have happened in North America, or plane hijackings?
