I really hope we get back to times where we were really best friends. It was good for both countries and was a model for international relationships/partnerships.
Write your congressman. If congress decides the people care things will change, but when they hear nothing they don't care.

Right, so. We're not anti-gun. Just anti the "only used explicitly for killing people " kind of gun. I grew up and live in rural Canada. Rifles for hunting or farming are just part of life. Though the long gun registry did make them more of a hassle. Why do you need a killing-person gun? What's that for?
I'm not yielding to your premise but I'll entertain it for a moment. Massive biological differences aside, the rough composition and weight of a deer isn't so much different than a human. An AR chambered in something like 6.5 is one of the most ergonomic and effective deer killing machines you could possibly use. Very light, able to make follow up shots easily, swappable magazines, insane aftermarket availability and…

Canada technically had a blasphemy law on the books until 2018, but it was basically gathering dust, the last conviction was in 1927.
He's just dog-whistling some disinformation about Canada's hate speech laws. In my experience where I've made the mistake of actually engaging... It's usually about trans people and pronouns and some family court case in BC that they spread half-facts about, and so on.

Simple. Cigarettes make you cool and hot, offering or bumming a light outside is instant chemistry to chat somebody up, and although I haven’t been a chronic smoker in probably a decade now, a drunk cig outside on a chilly night still hits like crack. It’s not the heater itself, it’s everything else about them that is 10/10.
It's funny / overall-positive to compare how we seemingly see them to how my daughter's generation (18) sees them. In my 20s in the 90s despite being a mainly-non-smoker I felt/thought as you. That's not how my daughter or her peers think though.

I live in a pretty cosmopolitan city and I’m happy to report the kids are smoking free range all natural cigarettes again. Vaping is now uncool.

That fatalistic attitude is why your democracy is in peril. Get off your arse and take lessons on protesting from the French.
