I'm Canadian and I don't remember this happening. In fact we're currently in the middle of the government trying to take away people's rifles and the blowback is severe enough that it's threatening Trudeau's government.
Oh no, it's still the same snowball.
You may be happy to know that there are still lots of people who were involved working on more focused initiatives. The group I'm personally familiar with has switched to collecting and distributing information packets, partially the result of the research done here, to politicians and other influential figures.
I've got to say, the exponentially increasing depravity of the modding community has mad a lot of the more recent mods absurd and undesirable.
Funny story, but in the world wars Canadian soldiers were the scariest mother fuckers on the battlefield.
My favourite tale was from WW1, when the Germans gassed our trenches. While the British and French retreated, Canadians pissed on their handkerchiefs, tied them around their faces, and charged the German lines under the cover of the gas.
Even today Canadian soldiers are considered some of the most skilled in the world. Shame we don't arm them, but that's probably why.
They didn't exactly have a shortage of that in the trenches.
