Canadian officials: to avoid a dangerous encounter with car thieves, just leave your fob by the door

In the most predictable turn of events, the government and the criminals (forgive the probably false premise that these are two distinct groups) are collectively working to rob honest and hardworking people of their money and property.

It’s abundantly obvious that leftist governments in the West have proven to be so bad at “governing” that they’ve forfeited all their support—their only option now for victory at the ballot box is to resort to vote-buying schemes, either overtly (student loan “forgiveness”) or through the welfare state by providing additional “benefits.”

Either way, these politicians consistently go about it through the government system, using taxpayer dollars and debt to subvert; but now, they’ve got a new strategy, and they’re appealing directly to the taxpayer to surrender his wealth and possessions to marauding thieves, thereby removing themselves from the rob-from-the-earner-to-give-to-the-non-earner equation.

(Maybe, just maybe, is this another vote-buying scheme? If it were discovered that these car thieves also vote, who/what might they be supporting? Tough-on-crime policies of conservatives? Or, the politicians scratching their backs and directing law-abiders to accept the lawlessness of the left?)

In Justin Trudeau’s Canada, ever-innovative and blazing a new trail in Orwellian governance, state officials are now actually suggesting that homeowners have a responsibility to ensure victim and perp have the most polite and civil interaction possible; given the “spike in car thefts” around the country, it’ll be better for everyone involved if the owner of the car just makes sure he leaves his keys by the door so when an armed robber breaks into his home, the latter can grab the keys, make a quick getaway (since he doesn’t “want anything else”), and (in theory!) leave everyone inside uninjured. Here’s the story, from Fox News: ....

I say the crooks should advertise online and people could call them and setup a time to deliver their car. I bet they would even give you al ride back to your house.

Canadians = Poosies.

Sad. It didn’t used to be that way. Wehrmacht units hated and feared the Canucks a long time ago. Not today. Now they grovel at the feet of Fidel, jr.

American and Euro politicians have finally gotten this “redistribution of wealth” thing figured out. Just make it direct, no paperwork needed.

But wait, there’s more! Higher insurance payments.

A liberal once told me that she wouldn’t have a gun because she might shoot and kill someone mugging her because it was the only way republicans left for him to put bread on the table for his children.

They should be recommending a 12 gauge shotgun and a shovel!

Better yet, leave the keys in the car, or on the roof.

But, supposing the dirtbag opens the front door, steals the keys (and anything within reach), then takes the car, should the homeowner keep the door open just incase others might want to enter and do their thing? Or would locking it be insulting to would-be dirtbags?

Of course, the genius proposing this never stopped to think that the dirtbag might want to browse...

It’s just that what Tim Horton’s offers is too good to tear themselves away from.

I guess they might not like what my reaction would be to car thieves.

Be better if they just leave their cars running in the driveway, they could avoid break-ins to get the keys/fobs altogether.

I bet that if they told you where they live and you delivered your car to them, that they would give you a ride back home.
