We saw the spectacle of the Prime Minister of Canada abasing himself by kneeling before a mob of Antifa and Black Lives Matter protesters on Parliament Hill. The mob was chanting “Stand up to Trump!”
It is not clear whether Mr. Trudeau was representing Canada at that moment of kneeling, but the symbolism was not auspicious. Needless to say, the mob was violating all the rules against large assemblies and social distancing that prevail in Ontario.
We know from the rioting and looting in the United States what Antifa and Black Lives Matter stand for, and it isn’t just defunding, or the elimination, of police departments.
This would be the same Prime Minister who righteously banned over 1,500 semi-automatic firearms and plans to confiscate them from law-abiding gun owners under some program to be announced in the future. He also plans on banning handguns altogether.
I’m not sure gun owners are comfortable with being deprived of their means of self-defence - of their lives and property - against mobs, looting, and rioting, especially when police forces have been proven to be unreliable and may be weakened in the future.
By abasing himself before the mob, Mr. Trudeau compromised compliance with his legally questionable gun ban. Lawlessness for them, but tyrannical enforcement for law-abiding gun owners isn’t going to sell.
