Is Canada really safer from gun violence—or just legally blind to the problem?

Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele dive deep into Canada’s hidden handgun crisis, the porous border with the U.S., and the legal implications of a groundbreaking class action lawsuit against gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson.

Framed by the tragic 2018 Danforth shooting in Toronto, the conversation explores the dramatic rise in gun violence, the role of smart gun technology, and whether Canadian courts can hold American companies accountable.

Gavin and Stephen take listeners on a tour through the complex landscape where crime, technology, public safety, and constitutional principles collide.
