Hello /c/Canada

You know how there's a 2nd amendment in the U.S. on the right to bear arms? I know that it was originally meant to allow people to form militias and defend their rights should the government become an authoritarian regime and stop following the constitution.

Is there anything similar in Canada in terms of laws or rights and freedoms?

You can still own guns in Canada, just a bit longer wait times and more robust vetting process.

You should read about the indigenous direct actions that took place when some company wanted to build a golf course on Mohawk territory a few decades back.

Oh I know all about la crise d'Oka.
