“As car thefts have spiked in Toronto, Canada, local police are prescribing new safety measures so that locals can avoid violent encounters with thieves,” Fox News reported Friday. “One of the recent bits of advice included Toronto Police telling residents of the town of Etobicoke to leave their car key fobs near the door to avoid being attacked in their homes by potential burglars.”
“Car thefts [have’ doubled in recent years,” we are told, and “thieves have begun breaking into houses to steal keys in order to steal cars.”
“They’re breaking into your home to steal your car,” Constable Marco Ricciardi claimed. “They don’t want anything else.”
That’s consistent with the “Just give them what they want” mantra repeated by “Only Ones” and gun prohibitionists here, who never seem able to answer the question, “What if what they want is your life?” We could cite all kinds of examples where victims complied with all orders given by violent predators only to end up helpless to prevent their own executions.
The ever-helpful Toronto Only Ones, passing out “free” doorstops so hapless subjects could “feel” safe, tried to backtrack without really retracting a damn thing, and offered completely useless advice if the object is to actually defend life and property. You can’t park in the garage if you don’t have one, and everyone leaving outside lights on all night seems to contradict “Canada’s green future” goals to cut back on energy use.
So, take the doorstop and let the criminals (freelance and official) rule the night because, as Constable Marco reminds us, “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them. And they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.”
So much for all those “commonsense gun safety laws” we’re told are just the ticket to stop “gun violence.”… But Canadians can have guns, too, right?
Well, yes and no. In addition to federal regulations that include a “national freeze” on handguns and a prohibition on firearms capable of repelling multiple assailants breaking into homes to steal car keys, there’s also licensing, “safety training,” prohibited devices, ammunition, and magazine restrictions, storage, selective registration, and other infringements, like “red flag,” “yellow flag” and “expanded license revocation” diktats.
But those aren’t even the ultimate mandated self-defense inhibitors.
“Canada has a much more restrictive approach to gun usage and does not follow the ‘stand-your-ground’ law,” the What the Law Canadianlegal blog notes. “Using lethal force to defend yourself is a very gray area in self-defence law that must be considered on an individual case basis…While it is entirely possible for the accused to clear their name, demonstrating their innocence to the judge requires legal support from knowledgeable and experienced criminal defence lawyers. In cases where there are no witness, unfavourable circumstances, and limited evidence, it can be very challenging for a lone individual to prove they acted in entirely self-defensive methods without having a legal professional by their side.”
So, you’re guilty unless you can prove you’re innocent, exactly the opposite of the way things are supposed to be in the U.S., albeit not so much with the advent of our own “take the guns first, due process later” edicts.
This is what treasonous (undermining “the security of as free State”) home-grown gun-grabbers have in mind for their countrymen, for us to be cowering behind locked doors while they not only can’t protect us but punish us if we protect ourselves against predators traitorous politicians find more profitable to represent and promote.

Voting has consequences.. but the hate people will never figure that out. Until its too late.
And yet, what do Canadian laws say about violence against the prime minister Castro Junior? Would he allow himself to be robbed, car jacked, raped? What do police do when he is involved, and why is that different than any citizen?
ultra prog far-left ideology; legalize crime and penalize anyone who does not toe the line, i.e. free people.
you cannot pick and choose which laws you want to, unless you are a third world $h1t hole country. canada is already there and we are getting close thanks to brandon.
I have stated multiple times that Canada is the testing ground for the USA.
O’bidmum and butt buddy Trudeau are working together along with the rest of the U.N. to disarm America because that is part of the NWO agenda to have total control over all people.
Obidum stated, “its the new world order and you can’t stop it”. I say yes we can.

Been seeing this on sites here-and-there for the past couple of weeks. And all I could think of is the Alaxandr S quote about, “And how we burned in the camps later…..we did not love freedom enough…..” Yes, our cousin Canucks may not have firearms, but the does not mean that they are DISarmed. There’s always bats (baseball & cricket), axes, shovels, cast iron pans, whatever comes easily to hand. “….. people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they… Read more »
Why not just leave the keys in the car along with any cash, valuables and your atm card with the pin on a sticky note?
The government and its agents are all operating in clown mode.
