    As though Canada doesn’t have anything as remote as Alaska… People living in Labrador or Churchill have exactly the same needs.

      And many of those people hate Canada’s gun laws. The guy i work with from kapuskasing would gladly have Canada become the 51st state if it meant he could have more guns.

        So? It demonstrates that, contrary to your assertion that people depend on American gun laws, it is perfectly possible to exist in these situations with Canada’s gun laws. I get that people have an emotional dependency on guns, but that’s not an actual necessity.

          All I claimed was that alaskans would have a hard time giving up their guns to join Canada. I never claimed it was impossible to live rurally without a gun.

              Canada had significantly different gun laws and most of their current guns or accessories may be illegal depending on magazine capacity, barrel length, or specific model.

                Fair, but that’s an easy fix. Like a shotgun holds 5 shells but in Canada you can only have 3 in it, so you load a plug. Change your magazine. Etc. Doesn’t mean you give up everything, and on the flip side you get healthcare
