Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s former Deputy Prime Minister and a key architect of that nation’s draconian gun confiscation schemes, dropped a pearl of condescension on MSNBC’s All In this week: Canada is rooting for America to get its act together. Coming from someone who championed Bill C-21—Trudeau’s sweeping assault on firearms ownership that treats law-abiding hunters and sport shooters like gangbangers—it’s rich. Freeland’s remark isn’t just polite neighborly cheer; it’s a veiled jab at America’s supposed chaos, implying our robust Second Amendment culture is the root of societal ills. Never mind that Canada’s own skyrocketing violent crime rates, including a 30% spike in firearm homicides since 2013 per Statistics Canada data, expose the hypocrisy of their safer model.
For the 2A community, this is a stark reminder of the globalist playbook: portray self-defense rights as pathology while their nanny-state utopias crumble under real threats like gang violence in Toronto (where shootings doubled in recent years, per Toronto Police stats). Freeland’s rooting for you rhetoric echoes the same elite disdain we hear from Biden’s ATF or the UN’s gun-grabbers—America must conform to their disarmed vision, or we’re the problem. But here’s the clever twist: her words inadvertently highlight 2A’s triumph. U.S. violent crime has plummeted 50% since the 1990s (FBI data), correlating with concealed carry expansion in 27 states, while Canada’s restrictions correlate with rising black-market guns from the U.S. border. They’re not rooting for us; they’re envious of a system that empowers citizens over bureaucrats.
The implications? Double down on vigilance. As Freeland’s crowd pushes cross-border influence—think Bloomberg-funded NGOs lobbying for red-flag laws—2A patriots must amplify stories like this to expose the endgame: North American disarmament. Her MSNBC moment is a gift, rallying us to protect the right that keeps America exceptional, not together by Canadian standards. Stay armed, stay informed, and keep rooting for freedom.
