I'm Canadian, and all I'm defending is the initial creation of the term, not the continued use of it to refer to vehicles that don't necessarily conform to its original requirements.

So you would argue an SUV, a crossover, and a sedan are all basically the same thing and just look different, and theres no reason to bother classifying them separately at all? LMFAO

Unfortunately there have been a lot of people in major cities wandering around with pipe shotguns and illegal handguns smuggled across the border, and as such there have been a lot more instances where our police have to match lethal force. The other trend I've noticed is a lot more people here lying to and arguing with the police, as if that isn't the worst thing they could be doing for their situation. IMO people are falling for the same "sovereign citizen-lite" advice that gets posted on Facebook lying about the law and telling people they don't need to cooperate with the police.
