It is time that every Canadian went out and got their firearms licenses, a rifle, a shotgun, and a range membership to learn how to use both.

We are at serious risk right now, and all hands need to be on deck for this one.

He only has about a 30% approval rating on any given thing. In the U.S. there are a lot of people who have been looking around waiting for someone to do something in order to feel comfortable acting, and if he attacks Canada the people in the U.S. will see that as there instantly being 30 million people who are willing to do something, and it might trigger an active resistance within the U.S..
