The Gun Buyback Isn’t Happening

Skills Gap Trainer comment: “@ … Tummy14 Our team at SGT, and colleagues and friends of SGT, understand your sentiment. When you look at the landscape of Canada today, it’s hard not to feel a sense of disillusionment. There’s a pronounced inequity that’s hard to ignore, and seldom addressed within the House of Commons by some political factions other than the Conservatives. Public agencies, such as CMHC / zoning authorities responsible for allocating 16 million square km of land to the Millenials and Gen Z, consistently neglect to provide even 1 square km for the upcoming generations, with intricate land access procedures more complex than space shuttle engineering. Administrators in these sectors, some earning between 100k to 700k annually, seem prosperous, while our nation’s future — the young trailblazers with degrees in engineering, computer science, and other STEM fields — often barely get by, many earning just 5k to 7k annually from 2004 to 2023. This trend of sidelining millennials persisted for two decades, as we saw it in our community. The professionals locally discussed it in hushed tones, often preoccupied with their demanding professions, such as medical doctors, dentists, professors, engineers, CEOs, board of directors on various non-profit groups etc.. The setup often benefits the bureaucratic machine at the expense of genuine innovators. Such biases are evident during inflationary episodes, similar to those in Weimar Germany, where pay adjustments upwards that keep up with inflation are made predominantly for officials, sidelining the broader populace which are not adjusted up with inflation.
However, stay strong and hopeful! Succumbing to despair only bolsters those who’ve already taken so much. Do they truly merit another victory by bringing us down? Absolutely not!
Such lopsided reward systems propagate a narrative in North America that feels rather ‘anti-life.’ This viewpoint seems prevalent among the administrative echelons, appearing more negative than positive. The prevailing sentiment doesn’t seem inclined towards fostering a thriving next generation. It almost feels like a conscious effort to reward administrative roles over those who genuinely contribute to society and enhance Canada’s overall financial health, for instance: export sectors like commodities and technology. Reflect upon the hindrances faced by Canada’s economic machinery for almost a decade. All these make one ponder the true value and essence of Canadian identity.
Empowerment, sovereignty, and most importantly, the future, are all worth standing up for. The emerging generations, Millenials and Gen Z, face challenges to their prospective futures. By acquiring self-defense tools, memberships such as RPAL & CORE, HAM Radio/DMR, LoRA mesh communicators, STEM skills, hunting skills, camping skills and professional qualifications, Canadians signal more than just self-protection, resiliency, and capability to overcome any crises or challenge. They’re proclaiming, “I won’t be manipulated in this grand design. I reject your ‘anti-life’ perspective, and won’t let you dictate my autonomy, security, or financial decisions.”
The individual showcasing a firearms can also symbolizes resistance and aspirations to invest in sovereign alternative assets, akin to the prestige of a Rolex or Corvette. Such gestures, combined, form a collective stand against any oppressive forces or forces which seek to own that which does not belong to them. Despite the grim outlook, it’s crucial not to align with those promoting detrimental ideologies. Distance from those who appear to support restrictive agendas against youth or family prosperity. Remain vigilant and proactive. A true patriot isn’t overcome unless they abandon the cause. Our collective will, autonomy, and rejection of suppressive norms and overt ownership of our identity, our person, our family, and our place of residence, define our strength, not political commentary about what are strength is that is not really our true strength. Advocate for parties that prioritize the youth and future, not the past, fostering industrial, technological, and economic progress. That is the mistake we can fix that the older generations made, they prioritized the past, and forgot the importance of the future. Bu we can fix it!”
