Yup. I kind of understand the republican's point of view when they say guns are needed for self protection. I know it's not an answer as it results in more violence but this cannot last long. Right now, my wife and I are taking Uber. The next year, we might move to a different province all together.

The girls were talking at my job about this. There isn’t much you can own for self protection here. Can only have hunting guns that are bulky and knives. Pepper spray and tasers are illegal.

On the Copr it is written NOT VALID TO TRAVEL. Does it mean that I need an other document from them to land or just that it is no travel document and I still need my passport?

It means that a commercial travel business like an airline or a cruise ship will not on-board you based on this document alone for travelling to Canada. You will need a PR Card or PRTD for that purpose. Ofcourse you will need your passport as well to establish your identity.

For landing, if you are from a visa required country, you get a PR Visa for single use. If you are from visa exempt country, you don't need one you passport is enough.

Note that, this DOES NOT mean that canadian government or even canadian border protection will deny you entry based on this doucment. If you come to land border and approach CBSA to enter Canada and show this document (once landed already), they should let you enter provided you also have a proof of identity like passport, driving license etc.

Actually, world over, Guns are allowed for self protection. they are highly regulated however. America makes it a right and a commodity like bread! Thats the problem. in many countries you have show whats the threat you are facing to get a gun permit. then there is limit to how much ammunition you can keep. also there is a limitation of what kind of firearms you can keep. America is too liberal with its guns.

If people have to keep weapons on their person then its a sign that government has failed to provide basic security.

That's a problem, right? By the time I can justify the threat, it becomes too late.

They failed at it. At least, Toronto. I have already seen several cases of targeted attacks against women. And I am a small sample.

knives

Can't. Already checked. If you carry a knife and use it, you can go to jail as you carried with the intention to use.

Today I cleared the G driving exam. And I do not think I am qualified to drive on the city streets yet because of the Left Turn thing at the Canadian traffic signals. I am going to practice every day but I can see why insurance rates are some of the worst in Toronto. I saw many people failing so its not like the entire system is broken but the Drivetest centers currently are being super lenient about who qualifies to drive.
Someone told me it is because they have a massive backlog of various applications and they don't want to add to it. Go figure.

Car Insurance in Ontario is a money minting operation. Used to pay 230 for liability only with 13 yrs driving exp carried over from usa. Now it's down to 92 but still high.

This made me laugh. Just checked the rates for 2010 Honda Civic, parked in private driveway and in Scarborough. Get ready: $498 a month.
I didn't care to check if that included HST or not lol

I paid roughly $1200 for a year of full comprehensive insurance in Australia. Moved to AB (currently with 18 years driving experience) and insurance on my car is $4300 haha

Roughly $700 for an year worth of comprehensive insurance in Saudi Arabia, which was still on the higher side of things.
Wish me luck for not getting stabbed or murdered on a TTC commute for a couple months.

Not really. If you are living in a neighbourhood with high incidences of violent crime, you can ask for a license to carry weapon based on that. If you are in a profession which exposes you to violent crime, you can ask. Its based on risk.

Ttc is fine. Just stand with your back against the wall or pillar so that a lunatic doesn't push you on the tracks

That wont save you from being stabbed.
