Does at least one of the weird laws define “bear country”? Even if so, I imagine the bears don’t respect such artificial boundaries, which should mean that everywhere is “bear country”.
I get what you mean, though. A friend in Edmonton has told me about some of the weirdness.
You know how LE trains their fellows and gals by having them experience the impact of the weapons they will deploy? (Dog bites, taser and bullet shots, mace, long lame excuses from stumbling people who’ve had only one or two drinks?) Wellllll. MOC should be required to experience the explicit effects of their aggressive ‘democracy promotion’ before their votes to supply/deploy will be accepted by the clerk. An informed MOC (could be) a more compassionate MOC.
I know and I totally agree with you. Here in Canada, if you kill someone in self defence, you get charged with murder. To me that’s crazy, but it is what it is.
