Oh Canaduh...

The cop at the city council meeting actually says, at 1:45+, to ‘leave your fobs at the front door, because they are breaking in with real guns with real ammo, and all they want is your car.’

So, give them your keys, once they break in, and they are so honorable they won't rape you or steal anything else.

And they would never murder you, either, apparently.

Does that cop have a gun? I would bet he does.

Only the elite there, in Canada, can have self-defense weapons to kill intruders.

Not you.

I think it’s clear now that the city coddles and embraces criminals while ignoring citizens-

Solution? Everyone become a criminal!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Yes. Placed near the door jamb below the lockset. It prevents the door from being kicked in right at the lockset, which is the best place to kick a door.

The fact that police are providing them is...somewhat comical. But it's Canaduh. No guns and all that rot, you know. [sniff/snort]

This is the perfectly logical culmination of the idea that property should not be protected with force.

Too bad there’s no 2nd Amendment in The Great White North.When seconds count Canadian cops are at Tim Horton’s.

Solution? Everyone become a criminal!

I'm too White to get away with it.

[Red Badger]

That sounds absurd!.........................

Oh that doesn’t matter- if Rachael doezal (or whatever her last name was) can identify as a black woman, then we can identify as light skinned Mexicans with very little accent

[Eagles6]

Well, they did warn that the criminals have guns, just, not you.

[Bob434]

Woops, wrong thread- but still, it might work in Canada too.

[Scrambler Bob]

Leave the fob at your door, and the dynamite under the driver’s seat.

LOL! I love the Babylon Bee!

[butlerweave]

or put them under a wiper blade ,LOL

[Go_Raiders]

Yes, but since there’s a Tim’s at every corner, it improves the odds that they will be able to write their report while their coffee and your body are both still warm!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Eh...could be. But it's an actual 'thing'.

Probably more than 90% of residential door jambs are not fortified so the bolt and striker plate don't take the brunt of the kick. Doors owned by security conscious minded people are.

It’s time America 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 both went full Pinochet.
