Gilles Duceppe?

That would never work in New York. I'll just stick to removing fire hydrants to create an extra thirty feet of parking, even though carrying all these tools in my trunk is killing my car's gas mileage.

Pull up in my carriage at the place of the marriage
Can't get a spot, what what, look at this nut,
Blocking the damn hydrant like a British tyrant

Vinegar is what belongs on french fries, though. Tell me you're not slathering them in red corn syrup like an American, or synthetic mayonnaise like an anglophone Canadian.

Wait, we stopped that?

"Alright, Spike. By the way, I'm really into dominance and comic books, so I'll need you to start calling me Galactus, Devourer of Worlds. And don't even think about shortening it to 'Galactus.'"

Completely agreed. Once we can get a serious conversation about magazine capacity, it'll happen.

Yes, sometimes having a single-digit percentage of the country support a policy makes it impossible to enact.

Meh, I'm happier with a liberalism that doesn't automatically constrain itself to the political fringe. I can't imagine deciding that anyone who doesn't support a guaranteed basic income isn't a liberal, for example. But no hard feelings.

You know, I didn't lay out any particular ideas for gun control legislation in that post. The point of the post wasn't to discuss specific gun control proposals, but to object to the characterization of firearms ownership as a left vs. right issue. I didn't mention, for example, my support for owner licensing,…

I've already explicitly said otherwise elsewhere in this thread. Right here, in fact:

To unpack further: They believe that the political process is utterly corrupt, and invested their hopes in Sanders as an outsider who will bring the changes they want. If he's not an option, they genuinely see no difference between a Clinton and a Trump Presidency. If there had been no challenge to Clinton from the…

I'm baffled at the idea that some people who supported Bernie wouldn't just vote Hillary this fall.

That's probably what gun control is going to look like when it (eventually) comes to this country: A marginalization of the NRA's extremism, and a registration and certification scheme. Most gun owners are in favor of these measures to varying degrees, fer Gawd's sake.

"somehow"

Wait, are you trying to say that rural Canadians don't own handguns? Because that runs counter to my experiences. They do have to be licensed, which I'm in favor of for this country as well.
