I don't know if it fits into Michael Moore's view of the world, but big surprise, it seems a good portion of the guns being used in violence in Canada come from the U.S. where gun laws are far more lax.
What a ripoff. I say we throw Gordon Campbell and Paul Martin into the deal to even it out. Maybe Ralph Klein too. Make the Americans deal with them for their unfair trading.

Maybe we should close the border up tight and stop the shipment of oil, gas, logs from BC, and other commodities. Can never be too careful with all of that 'terrorism' going on!
More than that - it would certainly get the average Canadians' attention as well, especially when the Americans reciprocate - and the supply of consumer goods gets less plentiful, and prices go up. After all, something like 60% or more of our trade, both exports and imports, are done with the United States....
Alas, the $1 billion spent on a system to register citizens' firearms probably could've been better spent on controlling the flow of smuggled (read: illegal) guns from the US. That amount of money would've paid for a lot of law enforcement.....

We send them pot and electricity.
They send us cocaine and guns?
