The Canadian media needs to start letting us know each time illegal American guns are being used in horrific gun violence in this country (lemm.ee)

Trump has been making Canada out to be a dangerous place with a weak border but too many Canadians are victims of gun violence. Our government officials and media need to start reporting each time American guns are being used in crime. What do you think?

We could prove decisively in front of the world that there is much, much more fentanyl coming in to Canada from the US than the other way around (we have), we could broadcast films of guns confiscated with both Canadian and US border guards testifying to the reality (we’ve done that, too), we could counter every single lie with proof of the truth and it would not matter one bit, because those who are going to believe us already do, and those who say they don’t really mean that whatever the Emperor says he’s wearing, he is wearing, whether I can see it or not.

We'll never reach the die-hard Trump supporters, true, but it's possible that some Canadians could be swayed by the firehose of misinformation coming from the American side and we need to counter that whenever we can.
