    I believe I, and any Canadian, have every right to kill a person who represents a foreign (hostile)government, and tries to abduct me, or those I care about in my country. As they do not represent my government, I believe I’m free and clear.

    No authority?

    No process?

    It is then an act of war, and we should respond accordingly with deadly force.

    Just sayin.

      I agree, foreign agents seeking to subvert Canadian sovereignty, their life is forfeit as long as they are operating on Canadian soil. They shouldn’t have any legal protections either if their objective is to destabilize the country or attack our sovereignty.

        The most polite people I know are also the most willing to stand up against wrong doing when the time comes. They are they way they are because they value good prosocial behaviour, they’re willing to sacrifice their own convenience for it, and they’re willing to defend it.

        As they are not empowered by a Canadian government, they may not carry firearms unless they have an express act to do so. This may in fact be the case under a blanket act for border agents. We should review that…

        The only peasant revolt in Canada is a bunch of privileged right-wing traitors who want to join the weak minded drones that follow Trump. Losers, every last one of them. I should know.

        They should be executed (tolerance except for the intolerant).

              It’s chomping, referring to the bit that goes in a horses mouth. If it chomps, it means it’s eager. Hence, chomping at the bit means someone is eager.

      From a grizzled, old, Scottish WWII veteran: “Young Man, I’ll tell ya something I learned in the war, never, ever underestimate those Canadians! They are the toughest soldiers I encountered in the war.”

      FTR: he also said he thought Germans were pansies, lol.

    Fact of the matter is if ICE wanted to round up Canadians, most local police, at least in Alberta, would be helping to support ICE operations while making a canned statement on TV about the legality of their actions.

    Aha, so baaically if you get snatched and dragged into the US for suspected violation of US law, the American legal system is okay with it and you have limited avenues to defend yourself. Canada would have to “convince” the US to let you go. In other words, exercise higher caution around ICE than our neighbours do.
