Somebody put this genius in Parliament!
Ok, ignoring the fact that handguns are illegal in Canada...how is a handgun a great addition to hunting? Not being sarcastic, genuinely curious.

Oh I will. (โ โฟ โ)
If we're not talking legislation, then I don't see how it's all that important in a discussion about democracy. If a social media company chooses freely to decide they don't want to platform someone, where's the problem? That's freedom, baby. I have very few carveouts where I will not support someone's actual right to speech, but I do not think forcing any private entity to platform speech they are against is all that democratic.
I do not even agree that many of these companies are really all that quick to deplatform people either. There are many conservative voices on social media. The examples that come to mind where individuals were kicked off certain sites generally involve explicit undue vitriol against other people (individuals and communities), often wishing harm unto them. If this is not what you mean by the "mainstream ideas that conservative believe" that people are being kicked off platforms for (I sure hope not)...then what else? I mean, who is being booted off of platforms for saying they think the government is too big, or that they think x politician is doing a poor job, etc.?
Buddy, you didn't point out shit, you gave a presupposition. If you want to point something out, point out the legislation behind each of the "steps the left has taken in the last few years."
It makes sense when merging onto a highway.
If it's busy and everyone else is zooming by, merging at a slower speed is dangerous. Speed up, match the flow (even if speeding), merge, then you can ease off to whatever speed you want. This is what I was tought in drivers' ed, and it makes sense.
Once you're on the highway though, yeah, it doesn't apply anymore.
