The question is: would a Canadian citizen witnessing an ICE kidnapping happen in Canada be allowed to use up to lethal force to stop it?

IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.

BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up individual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.

I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.

The Specialists was amazing. Expect for the players who were min-maxing it, but they were rare. Most people were playing it for the fun of it.

I bet Carney was being clever in the way he said it and Trump, too dumb to get it, heard what he wanted to hear

Someone should have told the Orange Menace that NORAD would change if one of the two members of the alliance started acting like the enemy of the other.

That shift started the moment the American President threatened to annex Canada.

They’d quickly change their minds if they knew how expensive the gas prices would get after they invaded and their oil refinement infrastructure gets hit like Russia’s has been.

There is a key difference between the Mujahideen and Canadians too: Canada isn’t on the other side of the planet like Afghanistan is. It’s right there, sharing a very long land border. A lot of the asymmetric war will be waged on American soil.

Just look at what Ukraine has done to Russia’s oil infrastructure.

I didn’t watch movies. I’ve played an enemy force a few times in military exercises doing exactly that. It is shocking how easy it is to just pass as a civilian in a busy city environment, observing and picking your place and moment so you can have an easy out. You “shoot” a guy when they’re not looking your way and then most of the time if you picked your spot right they don’t even know where it came from before you’re already walking away looking like any other bystanders. Of course, using those tactics means you’re not covered by the Geneva convention if ever captured because you’re not wearing a uniform. But I don’t think an American military invading Canada would give a shit about international law to begin with.

Ultimately, one tactic does not exclude the other either.

I’m not talking about winning battles in urban environment, fighting from building to building to prevent occupation. As I said, civilians don’t have the firepower, and as you said, training and organization to pull something like that off. I’m talking about the occupation forces in the city being hit by ghosts on a daily basis during the occupation.

Scoped bolt action hunting rifles because they make great impromptu Sniper rifles. Also, as a resistance fighter in asymmetrical warfare you’re not going to beat an army with firepower and continuous engagements. You have to rely on hit and run tactics and rack up a body count over time that will make the occupation too pricey to keep up.

A compact, takedown/folding stock version is also preferable because it will make it easier to carry it in a non conspicuous bag in the city and blend in with the population. Trying to hide in the woods against an enemy with thermal vision and surveillance drone capabilities is a bad idea. The only way to hide human activity nowadays is among other human activity.

Although lately shotguns did find a new use in the battlefield against drones. But once again, they’re long, hard to conceal and you’re better off hiding among population.

Also, speaking of new tech, I think it is worth learning how to operate drones. It might have become the safer way to do things like that. They’re easy to conceal and easy to deploy and operate out of sight. As a bare minimum it will force the invader to use high power radio jammers that are absolutely not healthy to stand around over a long period of time, further increasing the cost of the occupation.

He should be worried, but not for Canada.

Those firearms never came from the legal Canadian market to begin with. These measures would have done absolutely nothing to prevent the shooting.

Also from what I can see there is no guarantee of payment for participating in the program. Even those who are willing to turn anything in will be extremely hesitant to send anything in without guarantee of payment.

And finally, if anyone turns in their firearm or receivers, I strongly recommend that you crush the lowers in a vise or cripple them in such a way that they cannot be made usable again. If anything makes my blood boil more than the waste of public funds this thing is, it is the idea of POS criminals stealing from the post office and getting their irresponsible hands on a functional firearm.

If a Canadian version of Luigi ever appears, regardless of his real name, we should rename him Waluigi

And then they have the nerve to work at killing the F-Droid project because of “security” reasons.

It’s hard to boycott the price gouging bastards when it’s just 3 companies owning the entire market of what you literally need to buy every week to live.

The best I can do is make maximum use of my local farmer’s market but it’s closed for the season now. Which is a bummer because not only it was cheaper, but the produce was fresher and of higher quality.

The US just wants to sell Canada something. They just want our money and control over us.

Sweden on the other hand is looking for a mutually respecting partnership. We both have something the other side needs. Let’s work together.

Kevin O’Leary is a traitor and no Canadian takes him seriously ever since he said that people should keep $100k in their bank accounts just in case of emergencies.
