US Tariffs, Sigh!

[Gino]

Once again..... are you frickin serious ?? It's our fault your criminals have guns ?? How stoopid is that ?? See, you have no proof whatsoever where your criminals get their guns. Just more copying and pasting propaganda. Criminals get them from other criminals, regardless of their nationality.
Do you think we just bring illegal guns over the border and set up gunshows ?? Do something new. Think for a moment, ya can't get into your country easily from the north......... from the west or the east. Hmmm, what does that leave ?? So you blame us, but we're wrong and mean for trying to close our southern border. Yep, that's the ticket...... Okay for you to accuse us, but all the names you can think for us is justified. You're full of contradictions and double standards and you gettem all from your fake news....... and you believe it like being spoonfed,
Ya know, back in WWII the japs were actually afraid to invade our coast by land because they knew Americans all had guns and were pretty good marksmen, due to all the hunting in this country. Like I said before, you might wanna stop with all your theories. It's only hersey

Most guns have serial numbers, most guns even with filed off numbers can be traced to where they came from. It's very easy to trace where illegal guns are coming from, unless you believe our police have been making up stays for the last 10 years? Year after year they lost the stats on seized guns, on guns confirmed involved in crimes... Id say 88% is a pretty high number.

Stats are from the police themselves, not news sites.... Are you questioning the stats, or are you saying the stats are so low it doesn't matter? Do some research before calling everything fake news, otherwise you're just arguing to argue.

In 2024, 88 per cent of the 717 crime guns seized by the Toronto Police Service were traced to the United States.


Is it America's fault? Nah, criminals will get guns one way or the other. Just like It's not Canada's fault that less than half of 1 percent of USA fentanyl comes from Canada, but your government cries about it and uses it as an excuse to declare an emergency.

You guys are not so innocent; you've been feeding our addiction for quite some time now, controlling global supply to profit off making us sick. More than 335 million dollars worth of product crossed our northern border in 2024 alone.

In 2023, Canada exported approximately $376 million worth of maple syrup to the United States, accounting for over three-fifths of Canada's total maple syrup exports. This amount included both bulk and retail syrup, with the largest portions going to Illinois, California, and Vermont (all blue states, you'll notice).

A review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine claimed that refined sugar has a similar effect on the brain as illegal drugs such as cocaine.1
Studies on rats have shown significant similarities between sugar consumption and drug-like effects, including bingeing, craving, tolerance, withdrawal, dependence, and reward. Some researchers argue that sugar alters mood and induces pleasure in a way that mimics drug effects such as cocaine. In certain experiments, rats even preferred sugar over cocaine, reinforcing the idea that sugar can strongly activate the brain’s reward system.

Canada has been promoting maple syrup as the healthy choice, but I'm not convinced. This reeks of conspiracy, with Big Maple controlling the narrative.

PSA: One of these is crystal meth, the other is crystal maple, know the difference.

Never seen pure white maple sugar... all I get is the brown tar stuff, I guess Kroger is stepping on it and cutting it down.

Have you tried Walter White's Blueberry version? It's supposed to be really good.

Big fan of the blue magic here. Not to be confused with Walt's stuff...

Meth, maple sugar... both are just as addictive and the same thing!


Have you heard about the great Canadian maple syrup heist?! https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/great-canadian-maple-syrup-heist We do take up maple seriously up here.

Are you having trouble keeping your mind on things ?? You didn't talk one bit about any of my points. The sky is blue...... yeah did you see the color of that kid's lunchbox ?? Nothing like the kind they use in Timbuktu.

I never indicated anything of serial numbers, ballistics or stats, other than yours are less in numbers, but percentages are on the fast rise. I don't think I mentioned police, but you seem to be guilty of doing that, then accusing me of thinking about your police lying. You sure like the number 88. None of this has to do with where the guns were manufactured, but who/what is buying them from who or what. Its certainly not good citizens on either side of the fence,

Do you drink a lot late at night ??

You're getting Senile in you're old age my friend, I think you need to re-read the posts.

My post was about how 90% Of guns used Homicide / gun violence in Canada came from USA, illegally. I bolded the relevant section in your post which I was replying to.

Ikarasu: You're just not allowed to carry it or keep it anywhere but your house, or trunk while driving to a shooting range pretty much. But that doesn't stop criminals, so many illegal guns come into Canada from USA. almost all the homicides from guns are done by guns that came in from USA, not by people who go through the steps to get a gun

I pointed out almost all guns used in homicides come from USA - Theyre not ones people legit got and went through the process. But you went on one of your usual tangents about how I have no data and zero proof whatsoever where criminals get their guns...so I pointed out our police keep stats on all guns seized and found, and post their stats... Now I'm guilty of mentioning police and saying where I got my information from... So I'm confused, do you want proof, not want proof? Are we just willy nilly posting our feelings and ignoring any evidence? Or is it just whatever fits the narrative to win a pointless argument on the internet at the time?

As for ignoring your point... whats the point? Tightening borders? did I complain about tightening borders? My whole post was a mockery about declaring a national emergency over something thats so obvious not an issue - Trump did not do that to tighten the borders, he did that so he could impose illegal tariffs on us. Is that the point I'm ignoring?

 

[Gino]

You said yourself, the toronto police lost 88% of their stats on this stuff, so it seems a little odd they can be at all accurate.

You're accusing United States for distributing your guns. Those guns have traveled around the world and get to you via our common border, but you make it sound as if we're just outright giving them to you for a price.
Criminals have no home base or country. A lot of them are most likely illegally here anyway. Other than chartering a plane or a boat, they can only get into your country crossing the border.

So, that's my point. Your claims against our country are false and you know it, but your fake news wants your citizens to believe we're supplying you with arms to your criminals.

What you're ignoring is not being able to see the truth, because of your propaganda bullsh!t.

It's too early for you to be drinking this much gino.

Where did I say they lost 88% of their stats? Their stats say 88% of homicide and gun violence is with guns smuggled into Canada from USA. I rounded up to 90%... sorry i spreaded some fake information.

I don't think the guns traveled around the world to get to Canada, I think they went straight through the northern border. We do trade with lots of countries, Lots of shit is smuggled in from Mexico, including guns... but not nearly as much. Same with other Countries - No Country has access to guns like USA Has... USA has 120 firearms per 100 people... That's more guns that people. It's not just about it being convenient, its about the abundant supply America has - Yes, the common border helps... But it's supply and Demand. Does all the cocaine / meth smuggled into Canada come from USA? Or does it come from a Country that mainly produces cocaine / meth and has easy access to it? Am I dumb enough to Think USA Government is selling us used guns and smuggling them across the border like you're implying I'm making it sound? No... And I'm not sure what made you think that.

Lets put it into another perspective. How many Illegal Mexicans are there in USA? How many illegal Canadians? Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, south America, Asia, Europe, middle east, Africa.... All have more illegals in USA Than Canada does... But we share a common border. It doesn't Matter if you build a 5000 FT wall, Are you're doing is slowing down illegal items from entering your Country... Whether its drugs, guns, or people.... And it comes from all over the world, our border being close is just a convenience for the guns to get past... But you're crazy if you think the reason they all come from USA Is because you live close to us, and not because you have more guns than people in your Country. The amount we trade plays a huge roll in it as well - When you have 30,000 commercial trucks crossing the border every single day... It's easy to smuggle stuff into the Country.


So I'm not sure what claims against your country are false? Again... The Ontario police release their stats all the time, and 88% of all homicide and gun violence of guns they recovered are AMERICAN guns - Not mexican, not Asian... American. Thats literally all I said... So again, unless you think the Ontario police have been manufacturing evidence for decades to make Americans look bad... Not sure where the fault is? or how its ignoring the truth and spreading propoganda?

Do you have any evidence that says otherwise? Or again...are we just going by our gut feelings and "common sense" and ignoring the evidence?

Relax. If you really think it's propaganda against USA And it bothers you so much, go do your own research. You don't even have to post it... Or mention it... Just do yourself a favor and look it up. Even if it means walking away thinking We're making shit up, at least you spent 5 minutes to research it instead of using not-so-common sense and just thinking everything you read and don't like is made up.

Are we having an extended argument over a typo? I think Ika meant 'Year after year they list the stats on seized guns'

 

[Gino]

Ya know what ika, I'm gonna quit for now. You are entirely too obtuse to talk, debate or even argue with. Every time you write a new essay, you turn my words around and inside out, let alone ya change your own stories around. You don't seem to be able to grasp even the easiest of comments. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you just keep jumping around and changing everything.

No. No.

Actually, I really read it as they lost the stats and were guessing. I never substituted the other word, but that wasn't the real problem. I'm just fed up talking with him for the moment. I tried to explain my concerns and have stayed constant, but his are all over the place, so there's really no reason for me to go on with it. He'll never understand what I'm saying.
